Shop Update & "Cookie's Deep Dark Secret"

The flow of new arrivals has begun to slow down, but this week we do have new colorways and patterns from Elsebeth Lavold, Schaefer Yarn Company, Tahki and Jenny Watson to name a few.

Fans of Shepherd Sock by Lorna's Laces will be interested in the brand new colorway called "Cookie's Deep Dark Secret," which is a nearly-solid, dark blue sock yarn designed by Cookie A.



The release of this yarn coincides with the new issue of Knitty that includes Clandestine, a sock pattern also designed by Cookie A.



We do have the "Cookie's Deep Dark Secret" color of Shepherd Sock in the store. The pattern, however, must be directly downloaded from Knitty (link to pattern). The above pictures are courtesy of Lorna's Laces and are used with permission.

We also have a few new arrivals:
  • Meilenweit Men by Lana Grossa: 80% wool, 20% polyamide; 7 sts = 1", US #2; 460 yards; superwash
  • Big Baby by Muench: 100% acrylic; 2.5 sts/1", US #13-15; 49 yards; superwash
  • Teddy by Lana Grossa: 100% acrylic, 5 sts/1", US # 6-7; 175 yards; superwash
  • Gnocchi by Lana Grossa: 100% microfiber, 1.25 sts/1", US # 10 - 11, 27 yards

Today we also received a large shipment of needles and notions from KA, Prym/Inox, and Susan Bates. As always, we hope you'll stop by to touch a few new yarns and see the new colors and patterns.

Happy knitting!
