New Yarns
We will be getting some more yarns during April so be sure to check the store for them! As for March, we've gotten a few new yarn lines in and they are all absolutely beautiful.
Cherub
This worsted yarn is a blend of 55% nylon and 45% acrylic. We brought this yarn in for the crochet community since it's quite popular right now, but we encourage knitters to use it as well. Unlike most acrylic, this one doesn't pill and is 100% softer than anything you could find at large chain stores. Here is a link to a free pattern that would be beautiful to make out of this yarn: Mandala Geometric Crochet Blanket
Serendipity Tweed
This beautiful DK yarn is made out of 60% cotton and 40% wool. It creates a beautiful pattern when crocheted or knitted thanks to the alternate color wound with the yarn.
Art Yarns
These are the new colors we have for our art yarns. The colors pop out so much!
Heritage Paints
These are the new Cascade Heritage Paints, Hand Painted Yarn. They are the same as the Heritage Print sock yarn, but are hand dyed to create a unique color pattern.
Cascade 220 New Colors
We got 10 new colors this month of our 220. Here is a link to a free pattern that would be perfect for this yarn: Amazing Cable Panel Vest Note: You'll need to have a Lion Brand account to be able to view this pattern. It's completely free to sign up.
