close knit: the neighborhood yarn shop
We are already planning...
Look at this gorgeous yarn.
Herriot Fine is a light fingering weight alpaca with a touch on nylon for strength. This pretty stuff from Juniper Moon Farms has such a lovely halo and sheen at the same time. And the colors.
The yellow acid green is stunning, and I love that deep purple in the lower photo. The soft camel and baby blue are pretty fabulous, too. We received a nice collection of patterns for Herriot Fine, including the Otono Shawl, the Mossery Wrap, and the Clematis Cardigan.
We also have the Everyday Cardigan and the Tangled Lace Scarf.
This yarn knits up into a lofty, light weight fabric, perfect for light layers and cozy wraps. And it's just so beautiful! Stop in and let us know what you think.
You know how much I love a good marled yarn! Tahki Vermont is just the thing for all of your cozy sock monkey dreams. (Check out these awesome fingerless mitts.) It's a 50/50 alpaca/Merino blend, and the natural shades are all beautiful. This one won't last long, friends!
Sometimes you really need to see the swatch, you know? The Katia Concept Cotton Merino looks really pretty in the ball and on the shelves, but the swatch is really the thing here. I love how the brushed wooliness creates such a nice halo around the lighter core. The knitted fabric ends up looking hand-dyed and visually interesting.
We have a nice range of shades, from dark and stormy to light and springy. This yarn would be great for hats and scarves and cowls. I want to stripe that pale pink and spring green and creamy white into a cozy stockinette stitch cowl. Maybe this one. Or this one. Or something with fisherman's rib or brioche...this would do nicely with some plump ribbing. Any inspiration from you in blog land?
Do you all know about our 2018 Blanket Class? It's a year-long extravaganza of blanket making that culminates in your own amazing finished treasure! Take a look at the class schedule and logistics and all the details of how to sign up. We will have Monday AND Tuesday night sessions to fit your busy lives. Come knit a blanket with Adrienne!
Look at all of this gorgeous yarn from Spun Right Round! More details to come, but for now, please enjoy this beauty!
Have you sniffed the Wool Wash from Farmer's Daughter? Each bottle contains lanolin to help refresh your knits, and the scents are all fabulous. The Bergamont Chamomile is my favorite.
