SOCK YARNS GALORE!
Monday, February 6, 2017 – Sock Yarns Galore!
We have recently had a wonderful ‘refill’ of our Sock Yarn wall. Today, we will share with you some of the highlights of the Sock Yarns that have arrived. Hopefully, there is something for everyone, from the demure, subtle tones of the “Man Cave” colours to bright, cheery & colourful choices.
But before we dig into the new Sock Yarns, we want all of our Machine Knitters to know of a new pattern book that Janet has just finished! It’s called “Felted Mittens on the LK150”!
Of course, the mittens aren’t actually felted on the knitting machine (ha, ha)! They are first KNIT on the machine, and then felted. Felting instructions are given for both hand and machine methods. The book offers FIVE sizes ranging from Small Child up to and including Large Adult. And, there are two cuff choices – traditional 2x2 rib or Fisherman Rib with I-Cord Edging.
So hurry in, get your copy and start knitting & felting your mittens…while there is still time to wear them this season!
And, now, without further ‘ado’…have a look at all the fun, new ‘Sock’ yarns that have arrived:
