A ‘THRILLING SURPRISE'!!
Monday, October 30, 2023 – A ‘Thrilling Surprise’!!
As the closing comment in last week’s newsletter mentioned, we have a thrilling surprise to share with you this week! It’s a familiar brand of yarn, but brand new to London Yarns.
WELCOMING…
Soft, strong, and washable, this worsted weight yarn is a workhorse! The 4-plies help resist pilling and washability makes it fantastic for frequently-worn garments, children’s wear and baby clothes. And like all Malabrigo yarns, it’s super soft and great for next-to-the-skin wear! Spun from premium superwash MERINO, it comes in an array of water colour multies, semi-solids, and variegated colourways.
Great for: Accessories, garments, baby and children’s wear, decor, toys, cables, textured stitches, colour-work, etc.
Note: The colours shown on photos are illustrated as reference, as they can differ in more or less of one tone, due to the hand-dyed process.
Malabrigo RIOS Shade Card – $26.98 per skein
Yardage: 192 mtrs / 210 yds / 100 grams
Tension: 20-18 sts = 4" (10 cm)
Suggested Knitting Needle: 4.00 mm - 5.00mm, US 4-6
Fibre Content: 100% Superwash Merino Wool
Care: Machine Wash Cold Gentle, Flat Dry
A soft and sturdy plied sport-weight yarn, Arroyo has quickly become a favorite among knitters and crocheters! With ample yardage of 306m, it is perfect for those everyday lightweight (but warm) garments, and the superwash wool means it’s easy to take care of. Think of it as Rios' baby brother! (And speaking of babies, it’s perfect for them too.)
Great for: Shawls, scarves, accessories, lace, textured stitches, cables, lightweight garments, baby and kids items.
Note: The colours shown on photos are illustrated as reference, as they can differ in more or less of one tone, due to the hand-dyed process.
Malabrigo ARROYO Shade Card – $32.98 per skein
Yardage: 306 mtrs / 335 yds / 100 grams
Tension: 22-20 sts = 4" (10 cm)
Suggested Knitting Needle: 3.50mm - 4.00 mm, US 4-6
Fibre Content: 100% Superwash Merino Wool
Care: Machine Wash Cold Gentle, Flat Dry
GREAT TIMING…!!
With just one skein of RIOS and two contrasting colours, we can join in on this brand new Mystery Knit-Along (MKAL). Without a spoiler alert, it seems that this hat will have some fun fairisle patterning to it, giving it a little bit of extra warmth for the winter months. Here are the details…
Are you ready to embark on a knitting journey of fun and sparkle? This basic stranded hat will provide a few hours of amusement, followed by many years of warmth and comfort.
As you knit this mystery hat, you’ll uncover a simple, yet elegant combination of stranded knitting and beads. (If you’ve never done either, there are video tutorials to help you.)
Sizes: Baby through Adult
Materials
1 skein Malabrigo RIOS (or 200 yds of worsted weight yarn) as main colour
about 25-50 yds each of two contrasting colours of worsted weight yarn
Optional: about 112 - 210 beads size 2 or 4 depending on the size you make.
Cynthia used Malabrigo Rios as MC (background), and red & natural as CC. But choose colours that you love!
Pattern: we can purchase the pattern on your behalf for approx. $8.64 and all the clues will be delivered to your inbox and Ravelry Library, if you have one.
