In the "Old Favorite" Category, I submit Ultra Alpaca Fine, the fingering version of the fantastic Ultra Alpaca line. Wool, alpaca, and nylon, perfect for socks, shawls, or scarves.

And Vintage! Hurray! It's nominated in both "Old Favorite" and "Great New" categories, because in addition to restocking our favorite colors, we've added Vintage's new line of variegated yarns!

What you see here is a cart of Fantasy Naturale cotton, our staple worsted weight cotton from Plymouth. This is what it's like in transition from box to shelf...but it was too exciting and I wanted to show you how pretty all the springy colors were, so I took a picture, even though it's not all priced (yet).

And now for something completely different.The "Great New Yarns!"
You probably saw my recent blog post about Berroco Lacey, but here's a picture of all the colors we have. More are on the way, just backordered.

Dandelion and Daisy are two new yarns from Plymouth that are acrylic/cotton blends: one fuzzy chenille, one springy and cushy. You can get either yarn in each color. Together, you can make all kinds of great baby and kids' stuff. We have a few patterns to go along with them, or use your favorite worsted gauge pattern.

Have you seen Bodega? It's completely awesome. It's already knit - it's a tube made from mohair and some shiny, soft chenille. You stretch it wide, and then crochet (or knit) it into a ruffly scarf! One skein, about five different ways to work it. The pattern comes with the yarn. We love it. The colors are amazing.

Last of the "Great New"'s, but not least, I give you Plymouth Kudo. A self-striping, cotton/silk blend that several customers have seen and asked us to carry. It's gorgeous! Ask to see Diane's scarf that she's started in it. You'll love it.
