Eye Candy

A fresh batch of this GORGEOUS Illimani Sabri arrived last week...so fresh that it was still in the plastic when I arrived. This fingering weight yarn is 85% cotton and 15% alpaca, and as soft as can be.
If you have seen this kerchief in the shop, then you know how lovely it is and how nicely it knits up. Our last batch of this yarn disappeared in a long weekend, so I would certainly suggest that you grab it while you can!

Illimani Sabri

I hesitate to even mention this yarn.
We received a good size shipment last week, and apparently we sold almost 90% of our stock of Illimani Sabri over the weekend. We had five or six shades of this cotton/alpaca blend and now we are down to these three shades.
Maybe it's the charming little one-skein kerchief sample that has enchanted our knitters. We have this free pattern available for you in the shop with the purchase of the yarn. Perhaps you have all fallen in love with the unusual hand of the knitted fabric. It's smooth and textured at the same time. I'm not really sure how to describe it, but you had better pop in today if you want to take some home with you!
