Fleece Artist BFL Socks

Autumn

We just received a magnificent shipment of Fleece Artist’s BFL Socks, including 13 (!!) new colorways along with an abundant supply of old friends!  Just the ticket as sock knitting season begins anew.  Imagine your toes, here.

Hand Maiden Casbah

Sangria

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.

Fleece Artist Nyoni

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.

Hand Maiden Camelspin

Bronze

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 ~

Fleece Artist Merino Angel

Sangria

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.

Hand Maiden Sea Silk

Beach House

Doesn’t Beach House make you long for more?  We think it is one of Hand Maiden’s most stellar color achievements.  In addition, there are two other equally wonderful new colorways to gaze at: Nightshade and Nymph, plus new renditions of 7 old color friends.  See them all here.

Fleece Artist BFL 2/8 - 125g Skeins

Tiger

We are very happy to announce the arrival of Fleece Artist Blue Face Leicester 2/8 in 125g skeins.  This will make your knitting dollar much more efficient, and we hope these smaller skeins will inspire even more knitters to discover this amazing 100% BFL wool, truly the best there is.  BFL 2/8 is a fingering weight wool that is stronger and softer than merino, and such a delight to touch that many knitters come back to it again and again as their favorite fiber.  See the new arrivals here.

Hand Maiden Silk Twist

Ocean

A bit more Silk Twist has come through our door, reminding us again why we all love it so much.  In case Silk Twist is new to you, it is a soft and strong fingering weight 3-ply yarn with a zippy difference: 2 of the plies are of soft long-staple wool, the 3rd ply is of fine silk.  When dyed, the silk emerges as a flashing highlight of color against the deeper colors of the wool, adding an elegant twinkle to your fabric.  Silk Twist is truly one of the great yarns, here.

Ilga Leja’s Tidal Streams Stole kit features Silk Twist and offers a beautiful introduction to its magic ~
