Casbah is the sort of yarn we all love to carress – soft enough for a baby, strong enough to last for years as socks. It’s blend of cashmere and wool is “just right” for just about anything you choose to make of it. See the new arrivals here.
Snow Crocus
More Nyoni colors have arrived! Happy knitting is even better with this sock yarn that doubles as a drapey, richly colored lace yarn. Socks, shawls, stoles and more never had it so good! Enjoy it here.
Seashore
We thought all the Saldanha was gone – that’s what Fleece Artist thought, too. Then about 3 weeks ago, I was talking to Kathryn and mentioned how much we had loved Saldanha and how sad we were to see it go. This beautiful lace weight yarn was so superb that all we could do was sigh as the supply dwindled to nothing. And then Kathryn said, “Well, it happens that a couple of days ago we found a whole case of it behind cases of other yarn in our warehouse. We had no idea it was there.” I immediately bought it all and ordered up colorways that we knew you loved and a few more that we hadn’t tried yet. About half that order has arrived!!! And it’s here for you to carress once again! Keep watching as the rest arrives and order what you want as soon as you see it. We all know that it won’t last very long and this time there will truly be no more when the last skein leaves.
Orchid
More Nyoni has arrived, and in several new colorways, too. Enjoy the new arrivals here.
Nyoni has become one of our most talked about yarns – we’ve heard from so many of you who love it for just about everything. It is truly the sock yarn that has gone far beyond just socks. As an example, Connie B., a Colorsong “regular” who has become passionate about Nyoni, sent this photo of her Nyoni rendition of Lily Chin’s Reversible Cable-Rib Shawl (link goes to pattern at Vogue Knitting store). As you can see, Connie is right when she says Nyoni “was made for this pattern” – between the drape and the softly undulating color, it’s everything a happy knitter could want. Her shawl, which is the full size of the pattern, used 3.25 skeins of Nyoni.

Nine returning colorways are luxuriating in our yarn room, resting after their fortnight on the road from Nova Scotia. And well they may rest, for once you cast on, they’ll be wonderfully busy becoming beautiful fabric that is soft and glowing with color. Camelspin is one of the finest yarns ever spun – the combination of camel and silk creates a supremely elegant fingering weight yarn that is so alluring in it’s softness that it’s hard to set it down. See it here.
These kits are lovely introductions to Camelspin ~
