Yarn of the Week

On Tuesdays we are going to feature a yarn of the week. The chosen yarn may be something we have just received and want to highlight or a yarn that we have used and love and want you to love, too. We carry so many varieties that when you are in the store, it can be easy to overlook something amazing. We hope that the yarn of the week will be educational, informative and fun! Please leave comments with what you would like to see in yarn of the week or questions about the specific yarn in the post.

The yarn of the week this week is Debbie Bliss Prima. New for spring 2008 Prima is a wonderful blend of 80% Bamboo and 20% merino with a gauge of 5.5 stitches per inch on a US 6 needle and at 110 yards, it would be fabulous in your spring or summer DK weight project. This is also an easy care yarn. The label instructs you to machine wash cold and dry flat – no problem in the summer!

Prima has a slight sheen to it and will create a fabric that drapes without clinging and feels so soft next to your skin. The merino bamboo blend is perfect for a spring or summer garment, as the bamboo will keep you cool while the wool will help the garment keep its shape over time.

We also have the Debbie Bliss Prima Book in stock which has 12 beautiful patterns for women featuring Prima yarn. We have all 16 colors of Prima in stock right now for you to choose from. This yarn is a must see, come on in and ask us to tell you more about it!
