Here are a bunch of new colors now available in the shop (I know I am lagging behind here... but at least I am current with knitting swatches...LOL) Here we go:
All colors are fingering weight cotton yarns available either at 50 gr and/or 100 gr skeins. The skeins change colors gradually creating a unique effect.
Here are some colorways that have made it into the shop lately:
CAPPUCCINO This is a 4-ply yarn (light fingering weight) with a yardage of 480 yds/100 gr. The colors change gradually from light beige to medium to dark brown - just like a cup of coffee into which you slowly pour milk...
Then there is SORBET. Another 4-ply yarn available in 100 gr skeins (480 yds). This one is really yummy: colors change from a mauve/strawberry-red to lemon yellow to lime green. Looking at this color makes me want to head to the next ice cream store. I don't have a swatch to show yet but a shawl is in the works. Pictures coming soon.
And here is SANIBEL. It has been a few years since I last visited Sanibel Island, FL and the place might have changed by now, but somehow these colors reminded me of that cute little island. This colorway is available as 50 gr skeins (240 yds/50 gr); it is also a light fingering weight 4-ply yarn. A swatch is in my to do-queue... :)
I finished my Saroyan Shawl - and totally love how it wears. Actually, I am going to start another one...
Pattern: Saroyan by Liz Abinante (a free pattern on Ravelry) Yarn: Wolle's Yarn Creations' cotton; one skein of SUMMER NIGHT (available here) Needles: 3.25 mm (US 3) Size: 53 x 14 inches
The yarns are 100% cotton and have a yardage of 480 per 100 gr skein; they change colors gradually. One skein is usually enough for a midsize shawl or shawlette. Recommended needle size: US 2-4
