NEW YARN, NEW KITS
Monday, August 7, 2023 – New Yarn, New Kits
Our email today contains a new yarn and patterns to go with, a new yarn kit, along with a couple of reminders. Enjoy!!
BRAND NEW YARN…
Made by King Cole from 100% natural fibres, this luxurious blend of 50/50 bamboo and cotton is perfect for delicate, sensitive skin.
Bamboo is well known for its softness and antimicrobial, non-allergenic properties, as well as its moisture wicking and temperature regulating benefits.
This beautiful yarn is smooth, airy with a delightful drape and has wonderful stitch definition making it an excellent choice for lightweight garments and accessories as well as baby blankets, gentle facecloths, and easy-care summer items.
Bamboo Cotton DK is beautifully soft and strong – soft enough for baby’s skin and robust enough for baby clothes that need to be in and out of the wash!
Perfect for both knit and crochet! (see projects further down in this email)

BAMBOO COTTON DK PROJECTS…
Simple Gifts is a botanically inspired, asymmetrical triangular shawl. It features a textured panel of leaf lace flanked by a stockinette body striped with little peeks of broken ribbing.
It begins with just a few stitches that flow into a wide panel filled with columns of stacked leaves. Surrounded by garter stitch and lines of single ribbing, it’s a gorgeous project to knit and an amazing gift to give!
The various textures—all of which are formed by combinations of simple stitches such as knits, purls, yarn overs and decreases—combine to form a shawl which looks somewhat complicated but is actually an easy-to-memorize, relaxing and stress-free project.
Pattern includes both fully written and charted instructions. Additional instructions are included if you want to customize the size, along with detailed blocking instructions.

“I like to think of the act of knitting as a simple gift—one that is always there when we need it and which soothes our souls by the repetitive process of wrapping yarn around a stick, forming each stitch one at a time, until they all combine to form a piece of knitted magic.” – Dee O’Keefe
ONE BALL PROJECTS…
These two bags – one knit, one crochet are a great way to try out our new Bamboo Cotton DK yarn!!
“Perfectly plump with folds and dimples galore, our fun new Dumpling Bag, designed by Jeannie Lee, is a bite-size knit that’s an elegant twist on the simple knot bag.”
“Jeannie designed this bag as a bottom-up knit, starting with a provisional cast on. You knit the body in the round, and then work the straps off live stitches. You graft the ends of the straps to the body with Kitchener Stitch and finish by closing the bottom with our old friend, Kitchener, again.” – quoted from Purl Soho
