Terri D's Marvelous Mohair Shawl

Terri D's Marvelous Mohair Shawl in Curly Locks and Mo

Terri just sent this photo of her just-off-the-needles shawl, and we simply had to share it.  This is her fabulous rendition of Heirloom Publications #5008 “Marvelous Mohair Shawl” .  She used 2 skeins of Curly Locks and 2 skeins of Mo, both in Nightshade, and alternated them in large bands with wonderful results.  All of us here find it fascinating how different the same colorway looks in the two yarns.  This is a gift for a friend of hers who is ill – we know she’ll feel warm and well-hugged everytime she wears this beauty.  Thanks so much for sharing, Terri!

Fleece Artist BFL 2/8

Tulip

Although there’s been plenty of water everywhere here in Oregon, at the Tin Warehouse we are awash in BFL 2/8.  Much, much nicer, in our opinion.  We have 10 newly arrived colorways now posted.  This has given Keri and I a wonderful excuse to spend a lot of time thinking of more things we want to knit in this fabulous fingering weight 100% Blue Face Leicester wool.  It’s a lot like a holiday festival all over again, here.

addi Click Lace - Long Tips

addi Click Lace - Long Tips with Lifeline Cords

There’s good news today!  Our first shipment of addi’s long-awaited, much hoped for Long Tip Lace Clicks will be coming through our door first thing in the morning!!!  These beauties have what so many of us have asked for: lace points with full length (5.5 inches) tips.

They also have something extra that few of us had the courage to dream possible – the new cords have a Lifeline hole that allows you to effortlessly pull a lifeline through your knitting as you knit!  I can see less talk about how nice it would have been had one used a lifeline and lots more lifelines in every knitter’s future.  See the interchangeables of your dreams here.

Fleece Artist Woolie Silk 3-ply – 1/18/12

Fleece Artist Woolie Silk 3-ply

November Sky

We just welcomed 9 colorways into our yarn room, 2 of which (Nymph and Nightshade) are new to us.  Just in case you haven’t grown tired of my “Rhapsodies on the Theme of Woolie Silk”, let me say once more that Woolie Silk 3-ply is probably the most versatile, go anywhere, do anything yarn we carry.  It is impossible for me to think of any type of garment or accessory that wouldn’t look beautiful knit in Woolie Silk.  It’s picture-perfect DK weight (20 st/4in on US 6/4mm) means that it never looks too heavy or too thin.  It’s balanced blend of wool and silk (65% wool, 35% silk) makes it warm without being ski-slopes only warm, and lightweight as well.  Find your next project here.

Fleece Artist Kidazzle – 1/13/12

Fleece Artist Kidazzle

Beach House

We have received 9 colorways of Kidazzle, each one of them seeming to vie with the others for the designation of “most beautiful.”  We believe that Kidazzle is of the finest sock yarns ever spun – it is strong, soft, deliciously colorful, and offers world class stitch definition.  What fun, right here.

We have added 2 discontinued yarns and 1 kit to our Clearance Corner – the prices are as lovely as the fibers!

Fleece Artist Kiss Curls

Fleece Artist Kiss Curls

Fleece Artist has bid adieu to Kiss Curls – it will be replaced by Goldilocks (coming very soon!).  To make room for Goldilocks, we are clearing out Kiss Curls now.  It is a wonderful, light and airy Kid Mohair bouclé that knits up into a sensual, warm, featherweight fabric.  You’ll find it on sale here.

Swiss Mountain Silk Bamboo

Swiss Mountain Silk Bamboo

Swiss Mountain Silk Bamboo has been discontinued also.  It is an Aran weight combination of silk and bamboo viscose, that knits like a breeze and has body and drape that make everything you make with it look elegant.  You can fill your yarn baskets here.

Fleece Artist Garter Stitch Jacket

Fleece Artist Garter Stitch Jacket

Finally, because Kiss Curls is to be no more, the Garter Stitch Jacket as we know it is also disappearing.  This is a beautifully rewarding knit that results in a snuggly warm, lightweight jacket.  Pick one up before they are all gone here.

Whatever you knit with them you can be sure will not only look wonderful, but be gossamer soft and cloudlike against your skin.  Find the bunny of your heart here.
