It may seem like most of our posts are about new yarn these days, but we can’t help it! All the new things coming through our doors are too lovely to keep to ourselves (plus, keeping them to ourselves would be at least a little bit counterproductive). We’re busy stocking up for the Superbowl Sale this Sunday, so there have been a few particular treats of late.
Malabrigo Twist is a heavy worsted/bulky weight merino from the makers of the terrific Malabrigo Worsted that is the 2nd most popular yarn on Ravelry. Unlike Malabrigo Worsted, Malabrigo Twist is plied, lending extra stability and consistency to the fantastic merino softness. We have four colors in stock with plenty for sweaters in each, though this may not last until Sunday!
Next, we have Berroco Pure Merino.
This stuff is a real treat, and definitely worth looking at on Sunday. It goes without saying that Pure Merino is deliciously soft, but it’s also one of the rare yarns with enough loft and sheen that even dark colors will have excellent stitch definition. So we splurged and got some to-die-for darks, in addition to some autumnal mid-range hues.
Last, but certainly not least: Have you ever loved a yarn so much that you wanted to have one in each color? Apparently, we do:
We just got in the mail a bag of all 20 colors of Crystal Palace Mini Mochi. (Two colors not shown: a light grey to light brown color, and a pastel mix.) This is a superwash, fingering-weight, gradually self-striping yarn useful for socks, shawls, or light sweaters. The single ply makes it extremely soft and light, but it’s durable enough to walk on in a pair of socks. Combine a colorway with a solid (Louet Gems, perhaps?) for a glorious slow-fading fair isle.
Phew! We’ll see you soon.
No less glorious is Araucanía’s “Nature Wool”; we have several of the semi-solids and one multi to pick from. As of today, there’s plenty for a sweater in any color, though many of these shades would look glorious together in a colorwork number. Pay a visit and pick some for your very own.
