A Really Good Yarn: I can’t wait for September 1st

September 1 is going to be an exciting day. It’s the official launch of Rowan and Stephen West will be unveiling his next MKAL. The MKAL will start in October but he will be giving some clues as to what yarns you need and how to choose colours.

I am starting tomorrow at home with Lucy. It is way too hot for her to be going to work with dad. My plan is to get all the new Rowan patterns online so that they can be preordered for September 1.

Ms. UPS brought some Lykke needles today - interchangeable sets.

See all the Lykke needles we have in stock.

While we were moving things around today we found kits for the Countess Mitts.

The mitts are knit with 2 balls of Royal Petites from Blue Sky Fibers. These are 100% alpaca and super soft. Kits are available online.

Lynn found a basket of Switch Clutches from Offhand Designs. These are for your interchangeable needle tips and cords. The fabrics are gorgeous. The clutches are handmade in the US.

This is our last find for the day. Louisa Harding Pittura. Lynn says that the yarn feels like butter. It is a Merino/viscose blend that will knit up into beautiful garments.

Here is a link to all the patterns on Ravelry that call for Pittura.
