New Yarns!

If you like Plymouth's Baby Alpaca Grande, you are going to love the newest version - it has sparkles!  In addition to the full line of solids & multicolors, Grande Glow is now in the building!  It's the same bulky, light weight yarn that knits up quickly into scarves, shawls and sweaters.  Grande Glow has a sweet sparkle - - the dark blue looks like the night sky!  Very pretty!  Think about a light wrap  - perfect for cool evenings even as the weather turns warmer.

New baby in your life?  Consider Candy Cane yarn is a completely washable acrylic yarn that comes in yarn big 207 yard skeins.  It's comes in pretty baby pastels - pink, blue, aqua, green, even a multicolor.  The yarn changes color subtly as the individual plies change color.  Although knitters and crocheters are making lots of different baby things with it, this knitter sees it in a baby blanket.  My favorite is the 'dishcloth' baby blanket - knit on the diagonal with a pretty eyelet trim.  Here's a link to the super-easy pattern from the Yarn Lover's Room.

There are lots of other new yarns, new colors and other goodies to tempt you.  So drop in to the shop for yarn, fiber, tools to get started on your next project.  What?  You don't knit or crochet?  That's okay.  Select from hats, scarves, shawls and other cozy goodies for yourself or others.  Check out our quilt selection too.  Remarkable fiber art that know no season!
