Rowan's Kidsilk Haze Stripe arrived along with a pattern book for making beautiful, lightweight mohair sweaters in lovely striping colors. The Kidsilk Creation Stripe is a preknitted tube of mohair that comes in the same colorways to make scarves or other accessories.
We've been stocking Rowan's Tweed yarns in the fingering and DK weights. Now there is an Aran weight version in the same great colors for thicker mittens, hats and sweaters.
Stop by the baby yarn section where we've stocked Rowan's Baby Merino Silk DK yarn. This superwash merino and tussah silk yarn comes in both soft baby colors and bright kid's colors. It is really soft and springy to knit with at 5 1/2 sts per inch on a US 6 needle. We also have new pattern books in crochet and knitting from Rowan.
Rowan's Pure Wool Aran is a heavy worsted superwash wool that knits at 4 1/4 to 4 3/4 sts per inch on a US 7 to 8 needle. Great basic colors in a slightly heavier weight than we've had before; perfect for knitting up a "Houston coat" (that is, a winter sweater).
Also new is Rowan's Colourspun yarn, a wool, mohair and polyamide blend in nice fall/winter colors. It knits to 5 1/2 sts per inch on a US 6 needle. Need to make a quick pair of mitts or a hat for gifting? This yarn is perfect!
The kids are back in school and September is a week away! Come on by and plan your fall knitting projects while all our fall yarns are in good supply!

Yes, we do have classes for beginners in knitting and crochet. We also offer a beginning class in rigid heddle weaving. There is a nice sit and knit area in the shop. That's a great way to meet new friends!
