When last we met, I told you about new yarns still arriving from the fabulous TNNA show in Columbus. We can't all go, but Judy and Marie did and did they order some fun yarns. If you are an Ironstone fan, don't go away!Well- named Ironstone Pizzaz is a multi-strand novelty yarn made up of a cotton boucle, an eyelash, and a glittery metallic. It's perfect for scarves knit or crochet in a big gauge. Super easy and quick - and - dare I say it - lots of pizzaz! Another amazing Ironstone yarn is 'Sun.' They've again taken 3 strands to make this yarn. This time it's a rayon ribbon yarn, a boucle and a metallic. Both yarns come in lovely jewel colors and generous yardages.
If it's wool you need, the shop also has 2 new Ironstone bulky wool yarns. Sherpa Wool is a big booucle wool - another fast knit on about a #15 needle. The colors are intense - lime green, magenta, red violet and a variegated that should work with either of the warm colors. Very cozy! Ironstone's New Wool is another bulky, this time a thick & thin yarn in more great colors.
Last but not least, one of this writer's favorite yarns: Sunset! Asheville HomeCrafts has been carrying it for the last few seasons, and I love it for hats and scarves. Marie & Judy have always carried a nice range of colors, but the new season's colors are even prettier. I won't try to describe them - you have to see them and pet them. Mostly mohair and metallic with a bit of wool and acrylic, this yarn adds texture and sparkle. These quick photos can't even come close to doing it justice - it's so much better in person!
What else is new? Lots! Check back to this blog as there are still even more yarns to tempt you with. Better yet, drop by the store where there's always something new.
