RESTOCKING, RECIPES AND PROJECTS
Monday, November 21, 2022 – Restocking, Recipes and Projects
Today’s title pretty much says it all! We received more shipments last week, topping up familiar yarns and adding some new colours to the lineups. Another edition of Comfort Corner is included in today’s email and then we have a couple of small projects to share with you. Happy reading!
New Colours...

Known for their funky colours of self-patterning sock yarn, SUPERSOXX is a sock knitter’s “go-to” yarn choice! This machine washable wool blend yarn combines the warmth of wool with the strength and softness of nylon, so any project you make will wear well and be easy care.
Made from wool sheared from sheep in Chile where the wool is blended with nylon and spun in the mill, then shipped to Switzerland for final processing, labeling, quality control, and export to the customer!
