A FEW NEW THINGS
Monday, November 28, 2022 – A Few New Things
Janet has been busy stocking the store! YAY! Every time we turn around, there are more parcels being delivered, which is ALWAYS exciting!! We would like you to be as excited as we are, so today we will be sharing just some of the newest things to be unpacked.
First up & BRAND NEW…
**Note: Due to the lengthy production time it takes to manufacture these sets and ChiaoGoo’s commitment to quality over quantity, these sets will be trickling in as they become available. We were fortunate enough to have a set arrive for you to view in person before placing your pre-orders to get into the queue.
ChiaoGoo’s newest Special Edition Interchangeable (IC) Set, FORTE, includes tips that are an elegant combination of sleek, stainless steel and luxurious African Blackwood. The set also boasts the new SWIV360 interchangeable cables. Silver in colour, the cables have the same properties as the much-loved red and blue TWIST cables PLUS an added swivel feature! Each threaded steel join is laser etched with the tip diameter and join size which will not wear off.
What is special about African Blackwood?
It is an extremely hard wood, strong and stiff, very stable, with a fine, even texture and straight grain. Mainly used for custom pool cues, woodwind instruments, knife handles, walking sticks, and carving. African Blackwood is considered one of the world's finest woods for turning. It polishes very well to a smooth, lustrous finish.
Made of REACH compliant man-made material, the Forté case is just as elegant and functional as the tips and cables. It includes a double-sided, removable needle board that firmly houses all tips; elastic that securely holds but gives easy access to accessories; and four pockets to hold the rest of your knitting supplies including a spot for your pattern or notes. And, true to the other ChiaoGoo cases, it opens book-style with a full zipper enclosure to ensure the contents are secure.
** ALL Forté parts and pieces have [S] or [L] size joins so they are switchable with all of all the other similarly coded interchangeable parts.
For every set sold, ChiaoGoo ensures that an African Blackwood tree is planted!

NEWLY RESTOCKED…
Cascade 220 Superwash Wave is a much loved addition to the Cascade 220 range with a colour shift effect. The colour repeats are very long (full transition is around 1,000 yards) with some high contrast and some tonal colourways. It is still a natural fibre yet it is easy-care, meaning you can machine wash and dry it! It’s great for all ages, and comes in a wide array of colours. From accessories and kids items to blankets, shawls and quick knits, this is the perfect yarn! So soft & squishy, it’s a joy both to work with and to wear.
