Just in from Classic Elite

Fall is an exciting time at the shop as deliveries come frequently bringing wonderful new yarns. This week we received a 46 lb box from Classic Elite - my heart did flutter a little as the yarns are so soft and the colors so beautiful.

This is Toboggan, a chunky alpaca & merino blend that is super soft - above are half of the colors we received. It has a pattern book which has adorable sweaters & a beautiful cowl pattern in it.

The cowl takes just two skeins and is a great fast knit for yourself or to give away... early holiday knitting anyone?

We also received a sampling of Silky Alpaca Lace in neutral colors which are so soft and beautiful.

The soft colors work really well to make the Lowell Cowl, a free pattern from Classic Elite which is currently on display in our front window on the mannequin. Come by & see it for yourself.

Finally we brought back Kumara from last fall as it is a gorgeous camel & mohair yarn. It is soft and has great stitch definition, perfect for cables.

Come by and feel the softness!

New Yarn For Spring is In!

As mother nature teased us with warmer temperatures, we patiently waited for our new spring yarns to arrive... and they did! We have two new lines from Classic Elite that we are very excited about.

First, we have eleven colors of Sprout which is a 100% organic cotton in a bulky weight making it perfect for fast knits.

Next, Katydid is a pretty 100% organic cotton tape yarn that gets 4.5 sts per inch. It is a wonderfully luxurious yarn for a soft scarf or shawl for a cool summer evening.


Finally, a spring order of Madelinetosh Sock has arrived. The colors are wonderful and were picked out by our wonderful Antonia.

Stop in for some spring knit-inspiration!

Classic Elite Kumara Trunk Show

We are very excited about a new yarn that we picked up for fall from Classic Elite, Kumara. It is a gorgeous blend of extra fine merino & baby camel and is so soft to touch - it is lovely to knit with.

We have all the garments from the Bistro collection on display for a limited time. Come by and try them on to see how the yarn knits up. It is a fantastic yarn that knits to about 4.5 stitches per inch and the color palette is perfect for a new fall project.
