If you are looking for some spectacular yarns for your holiday gifts, look no further, we have them. A huge shipment arrived from one of our favorite vendors, Mountain Colors Yarns. We use to carry mainly their sock yarns, but now we bit the bullet, and added several of their yarns. When we opened this shipment, we knew that we made the right choice. We have added Mountain Colors Twizzle and Merino Ribbon yarns to our store.
Here a glance at the yarns. Click on the photo for a close-up view.
Pictured from left to right are:
Merino Ribbon in Crazy Woman and Goldrush,
and Twizzle in Sunburst.
What we like about Mountain Colors is their deep color pallet, and the vibrant colorways. Twizzle is sure to please if you are looking for something a little different. This merino/silk blend is very soft. The silk takes dyes differently than the merino, making a sort of tone on tone effect. The Merino Ribbon is very versatile. It would make a great shrug, poncho, or sleeveless top.
We told you about our anticipated shipment from the great people at Kertzers, and it has finally arrived. The Freedom Spirit and Freedom Wool was nicer than I remembered from the trade show this summer. With the colder weather coming, Freedom Wool would make a great sweater, or even a throw to cuddle up with. This yarn is so soft, and light weight. Even I, who does not like knitting with anything larger than a size 6 needle am tempted to knit a sweater out of this yarn. Freedom Spirit is dk weight, and will make a nice sweater that will be warm without being bulky. We have some great pattern books for these yarns. Expect the pattern books to be on the website this weekend.
