The Merino, like our friends above, is the most popular fiber, but we also have Possum, German Angora, Alpaca, Kid Mohair, Silk blends and more. Our products are 99% pure New Zealand. A few of the yarns have a binder. Check out our store to see the colorful array of Designer Hand painted fibers and more.

We will be donating 5% of each sale of this scarf towards Breast Cancer Research in the honor of my friend. The donation will be made during BC month.
The kit contains a skein of Touch Kid Mohair/Merino and is worked in a simple twist pattern that reminds me of the BC logo and I just love the way the edges scallop.
This is a new pattern using the new addition to our store. It is knitted with the German Angora from The Shearing Shed and size 8 needles. The yarn can also be worked on size 4 needles and still have a wonderful lofty feel! It is a dream to work with and we have a selection of 8 beautiful spring colors.
Note: this color is not longer available.
Stitches Midwest '09
This is the new yarn from KNITSCH. 100% Merino and machine washable. I made a basic sock (64sts on #1)and it is interesting how the color pools on one side of the leg and on the opposite side of
the foot. Many colors to choose from.
This is the Flower Basket Shawl from Fiber Trends.
It is available on their web site as a PDF file.
I used 1 skein of 4ply(fingering) in color 219.
See you at the shows!
