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.
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.
Orchid
More Nyoni has arrived, and in several new colorways, too. Enjoy the new arrivals here.
Nyoni has become one of our most talked about yarns – we’ve heard from so many of you who love it for just about everything. It is truly the sock yarn that has gone far beyond just socks. As an example, Connie B., a Colorsong “regular” who has become passionate about Nyoni, sent this photo of her Nyoni rendition of Lily Chin’s Reversible Cable-Rib Shawl (link goes to pattern at Vogue Knitting store). As you can see, Connie is right when she says Nyoni “was made for this pattern” – between the drape and the softly undulating color, it’s everything a happy knitter could want. Her shawl, which is the full size of the pattern, used 3.25 skeins of Nyoni.

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 ~

Colors abound once again in our Flaxen cubbies – 9 returning colorways have arrived and are ready for your needles. Flaxen is a DK weight perfect marriage of silk and linen – a yarn that tantelizes with an ever-softening hand and a drape to envy. It is perfect for warm weather knitting and 3-season wearing. As lace, simply unsurpassed. See it here.

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.
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.
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.
