MadelineTosh is HERE…and CLASSES are UP!
YaY! MadelineTosh has arrived…
The Tosh DK is STILL back ordered, but I have TWO new yarns from MadTosh to introduce you to….the Merino Light and the Pure Silk. Yum and yum.
The merino light is a soft spun, single ply, fingering weight in all of MadTosh’s original colours. It’s perfect for lighter than air garments and shawls. Anything Sea Silk can do, this yarn can do too. With a whopping 420 yards per ball, your options are limitless. And for $22 a ball….it’s just so exciting!
We are currently having this amazing pattern knit out of the Merino Light…Repeater. The designer, Meghan Jackson, is joining us this summer to teach a class in her pattern. We are making a sample out of two balls of Merino Light. Can’t WAIT to see it!

And then there’s the Pure Silk Lace from MadTosh…1000 yards on this baby! We all immediately thought of the Featherweight Cardi for this one. Just one ball–Oh la la!!!

Look at how shiny it is!!!
HOT OFF THE PRESSES, NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE KIT FROM FLEECE ARTIST…
The Snug Rug. The puurrrfect knitted blankie to cuddle up under on those cool air conditioned nights in July. ; )
Loads of colours. The kit comes with all the yarn and pattern you need to make the Snug Rug. Only $49!!
We got the most amazing sample in of the Kidlin–the blend of Mohair and linen from Louet. It’s the Amiga Cardi and it takes only 3 balls. Petra just came in and reminded me to put the “Tangerine Dream” in my newsletter. And then she took the last of the tangerine… luckily there are 25 other colours!
And here’s another amazing reason to give linen a try…the Vitamin D cardi. Four balls of Linen put this little number together. As I said to Cathy when she brought it in..this is the most comfortable, perfectly fitted, softest and coolest little drapey cardi I’ve ever put on. Look at the look of amazement on my face! I’m speechless….seriously.
Nice haircut, Wendy!
Same sample fits Ellen like a dream too! She has a bigger bust-line than me (who doesn’t) so it flutters a little around her waist adding to the femininity of the front panels. Cute cute!! She’s dancing she’s so happy!
Ellen grabbed some natural white to do hers…
Also arriving this week were some beautiful colours from Sweet Georgia….the Silk Crush has arrived. Half Silk, half merino. Shiny and happy. Perfect for shawls and socks.

And one more fun yarn arrived as well. There’s an adorable yarn company out of Quebec called Biscotte & Cie. They have some seriously wild sock yarn and some seriously wilder sock patterns for you to giggle at! Take a look….
