More-O Noro!

...And the hits just keep on comin'!

This week, Karl the magnificent brough us three big boxes of Noro. In case you've never experienced the unparalleled self-striping nirvana of Noro, now is the time to try it out. Often imitated, never duplicated, Noro is hard to come by and even harder to keep in stock - particularly certain colors. We got a big shipment of Kureyon including some brand-new colors (great for scarves, sweaters and felting), Silk Garden (including the coveted #87 and #84), Iro (similar to Silk Garden in content, but chunkier gauge), and a very very luscious new Something that will be debuted at our Hot Loops party this Saturday night. Here's a tiny peek at a little portion of the goods:


We also got a really juicy box of DK Superwash Me hand-dyed yarn from JKnits. They do some really unique colourways - great for quick socks and any project that calls for DK yarn that you really want to POP. We even got a couple of semi-solids - I've been ordering more of these for fall, since sock knitters love 'em for lacework and other patterning where you don't want bold variegation to get in the way of the stitchwork:

For all of you book collectors, we got some great new titles - I'm especially fond of the patterns in "Yarnplay." Stop in sometime this week and flip through them. In fact, I encourage you to make it a point to look through a new book every time you're in the store. Our hardcovers are a real treasure trove of inspiration. And then, when you're ready to make a bigger project like a sweater, you'll have the Perfect one all picked out.

I've got new Muench yarns and customer/project photos to show you to, but they'll have to wait - Mom's coming over for dinner, we've got a playdate going on (twins!), Brent's at church and the laundry pile is mountainous!
