Hand Maiden Silk Twist – 6/8/10

June 8, 2010 in Uncategorized | No comments

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.

Camelspin is such a lovely marriage of polar opposites – lustrous, satiny silk paired with glowing, enfolding premium camel. Everytime I look at it, my heart just melts. We’ve received a new shipment laden with goodness and inspiration, here.

These kits are delicious ways of engaging Camelspin’s beauty ~

Hand Maiden Swiss Mountain Silk Cotton – 9/12/08

: Rose

More drape-laden, lustrous Swiss Mountain Silk Cotton is here. We have been experimenting with it, and it is amazing for shawls and stoles. Sandra is almost finished with making Ilga’s Musetta Stole in Silk Cotton - wow! All those ruffles really come to life as the weight of the cotton creates drape and movement while the sheen of the silk allows light to play on the fabric as a counterpoint. See the new arrivals and their friends here. Click on the link below for the Musetta kit:
