Poems by Wisdom Yarns Poems is a 100% wool roving yarn featuring artistic colors which shade easily from one color to the next. Perfect for sweaters, scarves, hats, and more --- and it felts like a dream! This single ply yarn has a bit more twist to it than other roving yarns, for a little more stability and a more even thickness over the yardage. When knit it produces a slight halo, which is just enough to blend the beautiful color combinations softly together. A real value in a variegated wool worsted weight. 109 yards/ball 100% wool 18 st & 23 rows = 4" in stockinette, size 8 (5mm) needles Crochet gauge is 14 st & 19 rows = 4" in single crochet, size I (5.5mm) hook Hand wash or dry clean Felts	Greina by Lang Here's another great three-season yarn from Lang. Introduced in the spring, Greina is a marvelous mix of fibers: wool, viscose, linen and acrylic. It's an evenly spun worsted weight, but the linen gives it a slightly slubby look, and the viscose (rayon) a little shine. This makes it very attractive for men's garments, because it has that slightly uneven, rugged look that men like. It's easy to knit and soft to the touch, but has more body than the standard superwash merino. That means it takes well to stitch patterning and cables, as it holds its shape well. There are patterns for Greina in the more recent Fatto a Mano books (2012-2013) but you can use it for any pattern calling for 5 st to the inch. 40% acrylic, 30% Merino wool, 18% Viscose, 12% Linen 20 stitches & 28 rows = 4 inches on US 7 needles (4.5 mm) 50 gram ball is about 162 yards (105m) Machine wash warm, gentle, use detergent for fine wash, dry flat	Linda is a winner for year round wear! This medium gauge yarn is a chained construction for lots of volume with minimal weight. It has a subtle sheen, and comes in beautifully intriguing but neutral shades that reflect light. Exceptionally soft and very fashionable! Linda is a marvelous blend of linen, rayon, and acrylic, and wonderful for crochet too! Knit a simple top to wear on its own all summer, then under a jacket for work the rest of the year! 46% acrylic, 43% Viscose, 11% Linen 20 stitches & 28 rows = 4 inches on US 8 needles (5 mm) The 50 gram ball is about 115 yards (105m) Machine wash warm, gentle, use detergent for fine wash, dry flat. Woman's medium (36") long sleeved pullover takes approximately 550 g (11 balls)

Laguna A loose-knit, soft silk ribbon with a beautiful luster, Laguna is perfect for year round wear.

Uneven striping results from plain knitting, but this yarn really shines when used in multi-directional knitting, including mitered squares, entrelac, and diagonal pieces. Some elongated or drop stitch patterns, and some brioche stitches would also show a different look for your knitting. Use Frontier alone, or mix with Merino 8 for so many combinations. Your imagination is the only limit! Frontier is a soft and snuggly wool blend of 52% wool and 49% acrylic, and every ball contains portions that are solids, marls, thin and thick. Knits up quickly to an Aran gauge of 4 st to the inch on US 10 needles. Hand wash cold, dry cleaning is recommended. A 50 gram ball is about 115 yards. 52% Wool, 48% Acrylic Use size 10 needle, 6 mm 50 g skeins About 115 yards per skein 4 stitches = 1" Dry Clean or hand wash cold.


Tonalita Designer Yarn by Trendsetter Originally $9.95 Our Price $5.35	Amalfi Cotton/Nylon Yarn from Lang Originally sold for $9.99 Our Price $6.50 Summer Blow-Out! $5.50	Alpaca Degrade Multi-Color Alpaca Wool Blend by Lang Originally $11.95 Our Price $5.50 You Save: $6.45

Tonalita Designer yarn by Trendsetter This multi-colored yarn was a staple in the Trendsetter line-up. This yarn stripes in a predictable way, making it great for plain stockinette, garter stitch, large mitered squares, and other techniques. Tonalita is a soft wool blend of 52% wool and 48% acrylic. Knits up quickly to an Aran gauge of 4 st to the inch on US 9 needles. Hand wash cold, dry cleaning is recommended. A 50 gram ball is about 100 yards.	Amalfi by Lang What a great look and feel in yarn introduced by Lang. It is honestly "something completely different!" This yarn is a solid cotton core, wrapped with shiny nylon, giving both comfort in warm weather plus just a hint of glitz. It has a lot of body to it, so it looks like shiny silk without all the drapey, saggy-ness of silk. I have swatched it myself, and washed it, and it gets a bit softer, but is still firm enough to hold the design features of more structured patterns. At the same time it will produce a great lacy fabric! 70% combed Cotton, 30% Nylon 18 stitches & 25 rows = 4 inches US 7-8 needles (4.5-5 mm) 50 gram ball is about 99 yards (90m) Hand wash, dry flat, do not use fabric softener Woman's medium (36") long sleeved pullover takes approximately 400 g (8 balls)	Alpaca Degrade by Lang A light to wear, colorful yarn with an exceptionally long color repeat. Brushed Alpaca is a soft alternative to mohair, and there is just enough wool and nylon to minimize shedding. This is a fabulous opportunity to let the yarn do all the work: stitch patterning is not appropriate for this multi-color, fuzzy yarn. Unusual directional knitting such as entrelac, though, could be extremely effective. The beautiful Lang colors are so appealing, and will create a garment or afghan that will be a favorite. 70% Alpaca, 15% New Wool, 15% Nylon 25g is about 147 yards Recommended needle size is US 6-8 (4-5 mm) Gauge is about 18 stitches and 27 rows in 4" (10 cm) Hand wash, lay flat to dry, or dry clean. There are patterns for Alpaca Degrade in Fatto a Mano 199

Giulia by Lang What a stunning year-round yarn! This rayon yarn is a knitted construction, with just enough nylon in it for some visual texture. Not too hot-- rayon yarn is great for warmer climates or all year round in the office. Easy to knit, it won't hang up on itself or your needles. Great for crochet too. 50 gram balls contain about 82 yards each, and the gauge is 4 stitches per inch on #9 needles, making this an Aran weight rayon yarn. Very classy, it's not too drapey so it's good for stitch patterning, and there are several colors that are suitable for men. A long sleeved women's sweater with 40" bust will take about 14-15 balls.	Studio Another innovation by Lang. A slightly variegated, premium hand knitting yarn, especially designed for felting. The nylon helps to stabilize the felted fiber, and the spandex adds just enough stretch to help with wet shaping. Don't felt? Not to worry: this yarn has a gorgeous boucle construction that's very pretty when knitted--just choose a smaller needle and check your gauge. 87% Extra Fine Merino, 12% Nylon, 1% Spandex. 50g ball is about 200m (219 yds). For felting patterns, use a US 7-8 needle.	Zero by Lang Super stitch definition from an extra soft merino! Beautiful Lang colors great for any basic pattern, to create a garment that will be a favorite in your wardrobe for many many years. ZERO is made from 100% extra fine merino, treated to make it superwash.

Merino 8 Machine washable 100% merino wool in worsted weight. This is a great all-purpose yarn with a nice firm twist--the softness comes from the fine quality merino rather than an airy spin. Great for children and adults alike, and the price was always great at under $10, but discontinued?? Wow! we guarantee you cannot find a better quality wool at this price.

Good Earth Adorn Worsted Linen Blend by Fibra Natura This Good Earth variation is a speckle dyed option, and the colors are meant to coordinate with the solids. Good Earth is a soft cotton/linen blend that's easy on the hands and a pleasure to work with. We don't usually carry cotton yarns that knit to worsted or Aran gauge, because they can be so heavy to wear, and they easily stretch out of shape. Also, multi-ply cottons that are spun like wools so they are soft can shed and pill badly. The linen in this blend helps with all these problems, because linen is lighter and longer staple than cotton. Give these yarns a try! 100 g = about 170 yards (155 M) 53% Cotton, 47% Linen Worsted, Afghan, Aran About 5 st/inch on Needles: 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, About 3 st/inch on Hooks: I-9, J-10, K-10.5 hand wash, do not bleach, dry flat

The colors are intense and pure, with a depth only silk can provide.	Look what we found in our warehouse! Elements Natural Rustic Lambswool Yarn by Louet This completely natural lambswool is put up in 100g skeins. I describe it as "rustic" because it has the hand of natural, minimally processed wool. This is a 2-ply yarn, which means that these plies are much heavier than a yarn spun with 4, 6, or 8 plies, and this gives the yarn real substance. It is not super soft--it is not merino or superwash. This yarn is sturdy and robust--it feels like real wool. Not necessarily a next-to-the-skin yarn, but it is certainly soft enough for any cardigan or outerwear, or very appropriate for home decor, blankets or pillows. Not dyed, this yarn is the natural color of the lambs. This yarn has been "lost" in our warehouse until we found it today, probably since we moved from Maryland. Currently, pure lambswool is rarely available, and the ones that are out there have been heavily processed to compete with merinos & such. Prices range from $18-40 per 100g skein depending on the source, so we know that all of you who appreciate this sort of honest, authentic lambswool yarn will be very happy with our price. 100g each skein = 170 yd per skein 100% Natural Lambswool Worsted, 5 st per inch on a #8 needleDry clean or Hand wash in cold water & dry flat This wool is NOT superwash, it will felt!
