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 ~

Beach House
Succulent. This yarn just flows the dyes into itself unlike any other. Every time we receive a shipment of Lace Silk, we find ourselves abandoning everything else in favor of gazing at the colors in their silken smoothness. Treat yourself to a little gazing here.
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.

Moonstone
Just in case you were wanting some lace yarn to die for, do take a look at our newly arrived Hand Maiden Lace Silk. My. These are simply breathtaking skeins, and they include a brand new colorway that was the result of a special request by one of our customers. She described what her sister wanted as a wedding shawl for a seaside ceremony. When we saw Hand Maiden’s new creation, we knew we had to have more. We called it “Moonstone” and ordered enough to share. Enjoy it and the others here.
