NEW ADDITION…
MILLEFIORI
Millefiori is a yarn that has to be experienced in person to be fully appreciated! Perfect timing with us being able to offer ‘through the window shopping’ once again!! When it arrived, we all went ‘ga-ga’ over it! The colours, the texture, the sheen/matte finish, the colours, did I mention THE COLOURS?!?! Millefiori caused us to grab our needles and plan our ‘TO-DO’ project list. We’re confident that you will feel the same.
Thus, today’s email is wholly devoted to MILLEFIORI, with numerous patterns to inspire and motivate you to work with this magnificent yarn.
**If you’ve ever wonder about this yarn or wanted to work with, we highly encourage you…NOW IS THE TIME TO DO SO!
Berroco Millefiori is a self-striping, slightly thick and thin blend of wool and acrylic in a worsted weight. Available in a range of glowing variegated and marled colours, this soft, single-ply yarn is perfect for garments, shawls, cowls, hats, mitts and much more. Fun colours ebb and flow in random patterns to create a bold and happy fabric. See how beautifully Millefiori looks with the knit-up fabric photos for each colour! Made in Italy.

NOTE: ALL of the projects in today’s email are made with worsted weight yarn.

Featuring…
This sweater is great for all knitters, including beginners! The body is knit flat in one piece and seamed, allowing the colourful yarn to make big, bold stripes. A garter-stitch neckband is worked in the round in finishing.

Wouldn’t a mug with colourful balls of yarn & knitting needles on it make your coffee or tea taste just that much better?!? Jen is loving her Yarn Ball mug, as you can tell from her Instagram post.
I’m wondering if it could also double as a yarn bowl?!?!
