I found this on ravelry and thought any key that opens a yarn store should probably have special designation… a woolly designation if you will.

A new yarn from Malabrigo! Rasta is a super chunky merino wool yarn. Knits up 2 sts to 1″ on a #13 needle. This is a fantastic yarn to whip up a quick hat or fun scarf!

…for small projects. Shawls? Socks? Fingerless Mitts? Baby Sweaters?

Our new shipment of Claudia’s is exactly what the season is calling for!

…have been posted!

Give the shop a call to sign up!

A fun bug went through our home last week. It gave us the typical sleepless nights, loads of laundry and plenty of warm baths. Monday I felt the need to get outside for some fresh air. It was a beautiful day, sunny and as warm as one of the first days in March can be. I packed the small bodies into the car and headed to my parents’. As they enjoyed a few hours at the “country club” known as Ama and Bupa’s, I put on my skis and trekked around for a little while.

Days like these make me sad to see winter go. The calmness and beauty of the winter always seems to simplify things and allows me to focus on what is essential. It also made me realize how much I love Unspun Icleandic wool. What??? Icleandic Wool?? Where did that come from???

You see, winter coats don’t fit these days, so the next best things are wool knits. They stretch where you need them to and trap in that body heat. My recent favorite is my Rorschach sweater knit from the Unspun.

It’s a misunderstood yarn. You’re right, I wouldn’t wear it next to my skin. I wouldn’t put it on a baby. But if you haven’t tried it yet, you have been missing out on something special. Super light but very warm, gorgeous colors, can be knit almost at any gauge and pretty inexpensive. Yes, it’s at the shop. Knit some up…I’m guessing there is still some good skiing weather to try it out on!
