I received a very interesting package in the mail this week. It was from Colinette yarns, and contained this:
hullabaloo
a skein of their new yarn Hullabaloo. Hullabaloo is an aran weight yarn that is 100% wool, and very plump and soft. This yarn is colorful, with a twist. One of the three strands that make up Hullabaloo is made from locally (Colinette is from Europe) sourced Black Welsh. The twist is a black strand of yarn that is twisted around the other strands to make a very unique ply. Take a closer look at this yarn:

These are not the best photo’s, but the twist is pure black. I think the photo has a tint to it. Hullabaloo comes in an astounding 125 colors, which is the entire Colinette palette.
Colinette’s offering a free pattern with this yarn. There’s also a nice accessory book with quick and easy small projects to make out of Hullabaloo. I’m going to knit up a sample and post the knitted fabric soon. We are thinking about stocking this yarn. We would love your feedback, and want to know if Hullabaloo is a yarn that you would like to knit with, and want us to stock.
