April Showers….
It must be April in Ohio, as it has been raining all morning. While it may seem dreary now, at least it brings us a green spring. Along those lines, Knitters Mercantile has added a few “green” yarns to our inventory . . .
Allegoro is a part of Classic Elite’s new “Verde” collection. This DK weight yarn is a blend of organic cotton and linen and is super soft. The colors are mostly soft and subtle with the exception of the berry, which rocks!
Allegoro: 70% Organic Cotton, 30% Linen, 152 yds., 50g., 24 stitches / 4 inches, US#3
Wood you like to try something new?? And no, that isn’t a typo. The people at Rowan have come up with a way to use wood pulp to make their gorgeous new yarn, Lenpur Linen. A blend of 75% VI Lenpur and 25% Linen, it has a smooth, soft, self-mercerized finish. The linen also gives it beautiful drape. There are 12 vibrant colors to choose from.
Lenpur Linen: 75% VI Lenpur, 25% Linen, 126 yds., 50g., 22 stitches / 4 inches, US#6
British Sheep Breeds Undyed is part of Rowan’s purelife line. It is made from 4 classic British Sheep breeds and is then blended into five gorgeous shades. If you’re in the store just ask Stephanie about this super fiber - she loves it!
