New Yarns

Hi folks.

If you think working in a wool shop is all sitting knitting all day, think again. You spend more time drooling over new yarns and wondering what to knit with them!!!!

Here are a couple just in ...



New from King Cole. A beautiful Baby Alpaca.

It has 100m in a 50g ball. The recommended needle size is 4mm with a tension of 22 stitches and 28 rows to 10cm.
