Yarn of the Week for 5/27/08

This week’s yarn is Tahki Yarn’s Sky. Sky is % 100 biofil cotton. Biofil is organic cotton yarn that is grown with no generic alteration, no pesticides, no chemical fertilizers or defoliants and is dyed using an eco-friendly low-impact process. Sky is part of the Terra collection by Tahki Yarns all of which are eco-friendly yarns. Many people are using eco friendly yarns as a way of promoting a “green” lifestyle. If you are interested in being more eco-friendly in your life, this is a great yarn for you.

Sky is a worsted weight cotton with 92 yards per ball and would be perfect for a summer sweater, shell or child’s garment. It is incredibly soft and comes in seven beautiful colors, all of which we have in stock at the store.

We have a lovely sample of how this yarn behaves when knit up at the store, a lacy vest made from Sky in color #3 Cherry blossom which shows off the yarn’s great stitch definition and crisp look. It looks great over the black strappy dress at the store but would also look good with jeans over a white t-shirt or tank top. It’s a very versatile piece. The vest is from the Terra Collection by Tahki Yarns Spring/Summer 2008 Collection.
