‘TOO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM’
Monday, January 16, 2016 – ‘too many to choose from’
‘too many to choose from’ – have you heard that said, or said it yourself? Especially when it comes to yarn & colour selections? Today, email will only add to the “problem”, as we have new yarns, new colourways, and new colourways IN new yarns to offer you! (but, that is a GOOD ‘problem’, right????) And so, shall we begin?
Remember Shawl in a Ball Yarn?
Well, Lion Brand has doubled their colour range, from 8 to 16 colours, giving you even more variety to choose from! The 8 newest colours have a thin, tastefully done, tonal metallic thread running through the yarn, for that little bit of sparkle & “Bling”. With the fantastic yardage of 473 metres in each ball, all you need is just one ball to complete most shawl-type projects!
NEW COLOURS AVAILABLE & IN STOCK...
Lion Brand® Shawl In A Ball Yarn is a slightly brushed, self-striping yarn in a luminous sheen that creates gorgeous shawls. Shawl in a Ball is the perfect yarn created specifically for beginner shawl makers and experts alike. Beginners can create show-stopping accessories using the simplest knit or crochet stitches. The self-striping, brushed acrylic, run with a 100% cotton slub, has the look and feel of silk mohair. One ball makes your entire project.

TAHITI – Schachenmayr Tahiti is a colourful, lightweight, “Fingering” gauge yarn that's made of cotton with just a touch of polyester. The polyester content gives Tahiti a slight stretch, while the cotton makes for beautifully soft, lightweight knits. This machine washable yarn comes in gorgeous shades that either subtly stripes by softly fading from one colour into the next or a more obvious, self-striping effect, creating a fabric with seamless colour transitions. Tahiti is fantastic for many crochet or knitting projects, including delicate, airy designs like shawls or wraps. Made in Italy.
