New Yarns and Projects! :D

Hello all! Allyson here to tell you about some new yarns that we have as well as some projects!

 

 First we have the lovely Thyra's arm showing the new yarns we've recieved from Handspun by Ophelia! Each skein is handspun locally and are absolutely beautiful. The fiber content ranges from wool, to bamboo,to alpaca, to silk and milk! There are different sizes of each yarn, so you could make that scarf for the upcoming winter or maybe a baby blanket. Come on in and check them out!

 Here is a project that we have in the shop. It was made by crocheting with the Touch Me yarn. This was actually from one of our teacup patterns kits! This scarf is beautiful and very warm. Stop by just to feel it. It's super soft! :D

 Here is a crocheted cornucopia! Great for the Thanksgiving table! This is being offered as a class, so if you would like to make on, give us a call or come on in and sign up!

 Here are some crocheted snowflakes.

 And here is a knitted one!
These little guys are ornaments that you could hang up on your Christmas tree or just in the window! The crochet ones are also being offered as a class, so if you're interested, call, or come on in to sign up!

 Here is a brick pattern knit hat, made by Bonnie. This lovely hat is super cute and super warm.

 This is an adorable knit fingerless glove. It has a long cuff so it will keep your arms nice and warm!

Here is the lovely Bonnie, modeling the matching leg warmers. These will keep your legs warm as well and look great!

Lastly, this is a knitted glove. This could be made into a texting glove, by adding the thread that we have available here in the store!

We also have a tumblr page now!

That's all for this update. Happy knitting/crocheting!

New Yarns at The Yarn Bard!

Hello all! Allyson here to tell you all about some new yarns that we have in the shop!

These yarns are called Revel, a fingering weight yarn. They are made of 85% baby alpaca and 15% merino wool. One ball is 50g and 275 yards. As you can see, they are very colorful and some balls even have colors hidden inside! They won't appear until you've used them! They knit and/or crochet wonderfully!

Next we have Gina, which is a worsted weight yarn. It's made of 100% wool and one ball is 50g or 109 yds. Just like the Revel, as you can see, these are very colorful and also have colors hidden in the center that reveal themselves as you knit or crochet it!

Next we have Kid Seta, on the left. It's made from 70% Super Kid Mohair and 30% Seta - Silk. One ball is 25g or 230yds. This yarn comes in many bright colors, like red, purple, blue, teal, green and a few others. 

Last is the Toria, on the right. It's made from 80% Kid Mohair and 20% Nylon. One ball is 25g or 229 yds. As you can see, this is very colorful as well.  We have a few variations in the colors and all of them are beautiful. 

Well, that's it for now! We will be updating our yarns as soon as we get some new ones!
