September 2012 INTRODUCING
Sunstruck Needles! New Wool Colors Wool of the Andes, Palette, Swish & Stroll INTRODUCING
Galileo & Reverie
September Highlights I’m so excited to introduce our newest needles, Sunstruck! I personally love using Harmony wood needles for the majority of my knitting, but this new set of Sunstruck has wooed me away with its handsome blond good looks. They’ve been especially nice when I’m working with bright multicolor yarn, as my stitches show up so clearly against the subtle grain of the wood. Check out the whole new line of Sunstruck needles. Our new fall wool yarn colors have arrived, including brand new shades in favorite lines like Wool of the Andes, Swish, Stroll, and Palette. Palette is especially exciting, as we’ve grown the line to a whopping 150 colors! Kerin really outdid herself during that color selection meeting, and we’ve added some great subtle transition colors such as soft pinks and heathered neutrals. So many new colors have arrived that we were only able to show a selection in this catalog – make sure to check out the full selection online! This month, we’re introducing Galileo, our new 50% Merino/50% bamboo blend. It’s a sleek two-ply sport weight, perfect for gently draping cardigans and other sophisticated garments that could use a slight shimmer and a silky feel. This is a great yarn for body-skimming patterns where you want coverage but not too much warmth. Reverie is our other new yarn for this catalog – it’s 80% baby alpaca/20% acrylic in a brushed two-ply worsted weight. This yarn is all about loft and comfort, and it knits up into a plush and squishy fabric with surprisingly nice stitch definition. I can’t wait to use this in oversized open-front cardigans and soft, soft accessories for the holiday gift season. As always, if you have any questions about our products (new or old), feel free to give us a call or send us an email!
