Just arrived today - the newest ROWAN Magazine, #42! This issue has some fantastic patterns for Tapestry, Wool Cotton, Kid Silk Haze, Kid Classic, Big Wool, Little Big Wool, 4ply Soft, Felted Tweed, and Scottish Tweed DK AND for two new yarns, Cocoon and Country! We also carry the new Rowan Studio mini-books, which are soon to send us issue #5!

In other newness, there are two sock yarns to check out. One is by Adriafil, called KNITCOL, for which we have patterns provided by Plymouth Yarns. This dk to light worsted superwash merino yarn can not only be used for socks, but for sweaters and it all is self-striping in fair isle patterns! Check out the color card below and the currently available patterns and yarn packs in our online store!:

The second new sock yarn is from Knit One Crochet Too, called Soxx Appeal, which is also superwash merino with a touch of elastic and nylon - similar to Cascade Fixation in its springiness, but much softer!

The yarn calls for a #2 needle at 32 st over 4″ and you get a generous 208 yds per skein. And did I mention the soft? We, of course, have patterns for this yarn as well, which will help you account for the elasticity factor!

Oh, yeah, and I mentioned a SALE. For a limited time, we have selected yarns in our store at 30% off marked by “starbursts” or “Sale” cards. If you have received one of those yellow postcards from us - BRING IT IN WITH YOU. That little yellow card will get you an EXTRA 10% off of those sale yarns as well as an EXTRA 10% off our clearance yarn section.

Our fall yarns will be arriving soon…got your newest projects lined up yet?
