FOUR NEW YARNS
Are you enjoying your day off? We are too! As you probably already know, the store is closed today, Monday, Oct.8th and will reopen tomorrow morning at 9:30am.
We have four wonderful new yarns to share with you in this email! Three are lace weight and one is a fingering weight. Please read on for full details.
Merino Lace Light by HiKoo is spun as a lace weight yarn with 2-plies and made from the finest Peruvian Merino Wool! This yarn is incredibly light, soft and delicate with tremendous yardage and beautiful neutral tones that are sure to create heirloom pieces for both knitters and Crocheters alike.
Please Note: This yarn is currently available only in the three colors shown.

For lovers of lace and lace knitting, Alpaca Lace Light is the yarn you’ve been waiting for! The drape is just what you’d expect from a 100% baby alpaca yarn; the yardage is tremendous and the colour palette is outstanding, offering both solids & heathers.

What a beautiful pattern!! It would also be spectacular knit with Alpaca Lace Light. One skein will easily make TWO of these shawls!!
And, here are a few other finished ‘Dancing Butterflies’ Shawls from our fellow Raverly-ers:
Here is another lace shawl pattern by the same designer that would be lovely knit with either Merino Lace Light or Alpaca Lace Light:
Also, Skacel is offering a few Lace Shawl Patterns, free of charge, for use with lace weight yarn.
Lace Flower is a stunning, single-ply, 100% Superwash Merino Wool yarn which features an extra-large cake with 1200 metres! With just one cake, nearly any project can be made.

Sock knitting has dominated the knitting world for the past several years and will continue to do so for many years to come. Don’t be afraid to dive into your first pair of socks! We will guide you through every step of the way from casting on and knitting the leg, completing your heel flap, turning the heel, knitting the foot and grafting the toe. Soon you will be turning heels and tapering toes like a pro! Warning: Knitting socks is highly contagious! Once you start, you can’t stop. You simply can’t just make one! (pair, that is).
Rated: All Knitters
Pre-Requisite: Knowledge of Knit & Purl Stitches
There is more Fall fun on the way, here at the shop. We will keep you posted!
