YARN RESTOCK

Juniper Moon Cumulus

This blend of 94% mako cotton/6% nylon is as soft as a kitten. The long staple length of Mako makes it the highest quality of fiber. Cumulus is a great choice for sweaters and blankets.

Hank has sprung forward with new knitting projects and yarn

It's been a busy winter, but Hank continues to stock the shelves.
Here's what we're working on to give you some ideas.


Sommerknus	Wanderlust Yoke Top	Coastland
Here is a great addition to your summer wardrobe. This is a top down knit with enough interest to keep you engaged throughout. There are 3 sleeve options so pick what works best for you. Choose a worsted weight yarn, or strand 2 together to get the correct gauge.	This detailed pattern is good for a beginner but no reason an experienced knitter can't join in the fun. There is information on knitting 2-color stripes of varying widths while working this top down sweater. Designed for &Make DK or similar weight yarn of your choice.	Elizabeth Smith is one of our favorite designers. This textured eyelet slip stitch sweater features a pop of contrasting color. Layer this over a tank or camisole. Choose a DK weight yarn in a couple of fun colors for your own unique look.

McMullin Fiber Yarns are always a good choice


Posh Sock	Suri Silk	Posh DK
You will love this fingering weight yarn that is a blend of 80% merino, 10% nylon and 10% cashmere. It will feel great whatever the end product. Good for socks, accessories and sweaters.	For those of you that don't like the feel of mohair, this yarn is the perfect option. The blend of 74% alpaca and 26% silk is a softer blend when you want to add just a bit of fluff to a project.	This is the heavier sibling to Posh Sock. For those who want a bit more luxury in your yarn this merino, nylon, cashmere blend is the answer.


Instant Crush	Elton	Yokelore Sweater
This colorwork sweater is knit holding 2 strands of Suri/Silk together. The resulting sweater will keep you warm, but the fabric is light as air!	Upgrade a basic cardigan with a mix of stripes and textures. The silhouette is slightly boxy and slightly cropped in length. Use posh sock and suri/silk to create stripes of alternating texture.	Knit this sweater in the round from the top down using yoke sweater construction techniques. Five different colors create a quilt like look. Pick from Posh DK colors to create your own unique look.


Bennet Sister Shawl	Coofle
Using both a fingering and a fluffy yarn makes a shawl you will love to wrap up in. The long triangle shape is knit end to end using simple stitches to create graphic shapes and lines.	Here is the perfect chance to show off your creativity. Choose a base color of Posh Sock and then select from the 12 different mini skein options for your colorwork.
