A while back, Fleece Artist produced a special kit for us. They stranded Merino 2/6 (their beloved sock yarn) with a special run of Angel Hair (Hand Maiden’s Kid Mohair) and created a sock pattern to match it. It was so popular, and knitters found so many other wonderful ways to use it that Kathryn commissioned a yarn to be spun that would eliminate the need to strand two yarns while having the same softness and strength. The result is Merino Angel and it is wonderful. The nylon makes it strong enough for cozy winter socks; the merino and kid combine into a soft cloud of warm embrace. It almost feels like angora, it is that luxuriously soft. We predict Merino Angel will become one of Fleece Artist’s staple yarns – something no one wants to be without. Discover the new kid (and merino!) on the block, here.

Premium wool and Seacell, anyone? It occurs to us, up here in the persistently gray and wet Pacific Northwest, that this may be one of the best fiber combinations for multi-season wear. It will keep you warm, but not too warm, on chilly summer evenings and enfold you in coziness as the days shorten and serious cold weather looms. Great Big Sea is also delightfully beautiful, offering a shimmering drape in a DK weight. What’s not to love, here?

Always a welcome sight, we now have even more Woolie Silk 3-ply, one of the loveliest, most versatile yarns we carry. Really, it can do just about anything well – and it is so soft, so strong and so filled with drapey beauty that it’s not at all surprising that it is one of the most beloved yarns ever. Discover it for yourself here.

The delights of Sea Silk x 3 = unbounded happy knitting and wearing! Sea Three is a “heavy DK” or “light Aran” silk and seacell wonder. It creates a fabric with a bit of oomph to it and opens whole new possibilities for Hand Maiden’s beloved Sea Silk line. Both springy and alluringly soft, Sea Three brings an elegant happiness with it however you wear it. See the new additions here.
With the arrival of Sea Three comes a new kit!
We think that Hand Maiden’s Sea Three Vest is delightful. There’s an elegant playfulness about it that means it will go anywhere you want to go and look dressed up or down as you choose. Knit side to side, Sea Three’s natural spring takes care of shaping and fit in ways you’ll find almost magical. If you’ve never tried Sea Three before, this is an ideal starting place – you’ll finish quickly with a garment that will repay you hundreds of times over in enduring wearability. Find your very own Sea Three Vest here.

Several boxes of the new 125g skeins came to our door just in the nick of time - we are down to 1 skein of the 250g DK on Clearance. We’ve taken their pictures and tucked them all into their bins to await whatever wonderful creation you’ve got in mind for your next project.

It’s been a while since we’ve received new renditions of Cashmere 4-ply, but now that Hand Maiden has more on hand we are the happy beneficiaries! The 8 newly arrived colors are glowing with a muted softness that only enhances the soft beauty of the cashmere itself. Remember, this is the cashmere in which we have yet to find a guard hair! “Soft” is an understatement. See it here.

We have received some wonderful news! Blue Face Leicester DK which was earlier discontinued by Fleece Artist is returning! The new BFL DK will be put up on 125g skeins and — here’s the best part — should be available in 1-2 weeks!!! We actually danced and sang when we heard the news, as BFL DK has acheived “most favored yarn” status here at Colorsong. Now that we know that there will be more BFL DK, we have put the 250g skeins on clearance at a price that reflects our happiness that this is not the end of a great yarn. You’ll find what we have left in the big skeins here - with our very good wishes.
