Frontier Designer yarn by Trendsetter Explore a new frontier in your knitting and crochet with this multi-colored, multi-textured yarn that has no discernible repeat. 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.

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 Multi-Color Alpaca Wool Blend by Lang Originally $11.95 Our Price $5.65 You Save: $6.30	Giulia List Price: $9.95 Our Price: $5.75 You Save: $4.20	Studio Yarn by Lang List Price: $9.95 Our Price: $5.75 You Save: $4.20

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.

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.

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	Good Earth Worsted Linen Blend by Fibra Natura Good Earth is a soft cotton/linen blend that's easy on the hands and a pleasure to work with.

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!
