berocco's mica

In an earlier post, I mentioned Mica, Berocco's newest creation, and that I was excited about starting a project with it.  I finally decided on the wide scarf - the Courant - pictured on the cover of their new Booklet #286.  I am really enjoying this yarn!  It is cool like cotton, smooth like silk and strong like linen. It is actually a cotton, silk and linen blend, with a bit of nylon!  It has a beautiful sheen and I believe the drape will be perfect for a scarf or shawl.  Come and see all of the colors available.  We have them all in stock.  I will keep you updated on my progress, but remember I am not a fast knitter!

spring arrived this week

This past week we unpacked the first of our Spring yarns.   Berroco made a huge entrance with their newest - Mica, which is a cotton, silk, linen and rayon blend.  It looks and feels wonderful.  I rolled a skein earlier today and plan to start something tonight!  Also in, new colors of Seduce, Touche, and Linen Jeans.  We have all of new pattern booklets too, including Norah Gaughan's Vol. 4. 
Have you heard about the Zauberball?  It is a great new sock yarn from Skacel.  We have all of the colors in stock with more of the favorite #1564 - pictured - on the way.   Check out the awesome, appropriately named, Slinky Hat, made with one ball.  Thanks to Lauren, the uber talented creator, for sharing the pattern. 
Plan on making a trip into the store this weekend. All items in our sale room will be discounted 75%.  We have added several new things this week, and will continue to add more throughout the weekend.   Come buy and grab some bargins.
