Exciting new yarn and yarn companies
Just when I thought it was going to be a quiet day in the shop....Mom has now added Art Yarns hand painted yarns to the shop. I fell in love with every color the yarn rep kept pulling out. We have ordered 10 colors in Silk Rhapsody, Regal Silk and Ultramerino. All of which are due into the shop in the Fall. There are many also many great patterns by Art Yarns that will be coming with the yarn.
As if that was not enough. Berroco has come out with a fabulous new yarn. This yarn in nylon and acrylic, which doesn't sound too pretty...But boy is this yarn a great buy, in great colors, at a great feel. I cannot remember the yarns name, as the yarn is not due to even ship until the end of July. It is machine washable and machine dryable which is even further appealing. And of course, Berroco would not be introducing this great yarn without great pattern support. All of the new Berroco pattern booklets are also on order, and we look forward to opening that box.
We also found out that are EVERY Lang/Jawoll sock yarn skein comes with reinforcing yarn. We like to say our Jawoll skeins are expecting babies...as the reinforcing yarn is tucked tight into the bellies of each skein. This yarn company has been around since the 1800's, and they sure know how to make a great, affordable, durable sock. Come by and let our Jawoll skeins birth their "babies" for you.
And just when I was walking out the door, in came a new yarn from Plymouth/Cleckheaton, Cocoon. It is a pretty worsted weight wool and nylon. It too, came with a new pattern booklet with some beautiful garments.
