Plied Knowledge: The week that was…
At the store:
- Merry Malabrigo to all! Let's start with the best part, NEW YARN!!!! Yup, a totally new base from Malabrigo called Caprino that is the most lovely, squishy and soft merino/cashmere blend you can imagine. We are still working on getting pictures up on our website but it all comes in the colors you know and love from Malabrigo!
- Rasta, Rios, and Mecha were also included in our big shipment from Malabrigo. Strike while the iron is hot because we can't seem to keep these in stock this time of year...
- We were also lucky enough to get a batch of Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks That Rock Lightweight! So many colors we had a hard time getting it all on the wall BUT WE DID.
- Some more Hazel Knits came in this week, too. All three bases, Lively DK, Artisan Sock and MCN Entice all showed up in varying quantities...
- And don't forget to keep an eye on our classes - we update them regularly!
