Ilga Leja's Afternoon Breezes in Hand Maiden Flaxen
Here is something for everyone! Ilga Leja has created a stunning vest that makes full use of Flaxen’s full-bodied drape and silk/linen charm. Knit side-to-side in a lovely filet mesh, Ilga adds classic shaping and elegantly understated embellishment to arrive at a vest that will look wonderful on everyone. Sweet as a summer breeze, here.
Red Fox
In addition to Red Fox, Moondust and Orchid have also appeared amidst our Blue Face Leicester 2/8 skeins. In case you missed the last 1000 times I’ve said this, BFL 2/8 is the worlds softest, strongest jumper-weight (aka, fingering weight) wool to ever grace a needle. Nourish your eyes and hands here.
These kits are perennial favorites as well as simply great ways to introduce yourself to the wonders of BFL 2/8 ~

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.
Origin
70% superwashed premium wool with 30% Seacell is a delectible way to create a stunning, long wearing sock yarn. The Seacell takes the place of nylon for strength while enhancing and deepening the color. It also adds a beautiful drape to the fiber, making Sea Wool a wonderful choice for almost any garment. See the new arrivals and old here.
These kits now sport more color options, too:

Olive - New 125g Skeins!
We’ve been pretty busy since we last posted here – lots of new, good things coming along. One of them is that we have made the switch-over to Fleece Artist’s new 125g skeins of Scotia Silk. This means that for those smaller projects you will need to buy less yarn – and for larger projects, you will often be able to finish up with, say 3 125g skeins instead of 2 250g skeins. Overall, a very good thing for everyone. You can see the new 125g skeins here.
All of our Scotia Silk kits are now being filled with the 125g skeins, too:
