Purl of the Week 11/08/08

Flat Feet yarn is back at Cultured Purls!

Did you miss out on Flat Feet when it was in our store over the summer? We had this great yarn in stock for under a week when it was grabbed up by happy customers! We immediately got more stock on order, but it was so popular around the country that it was back ordered for several months. It’s finally here – don’t miss it again!

This amazing yarn is machine knitted into sock blanks, then hand dyed with amazing colors in every which way you can imagine! You then knit directly from the fabric, unraveling as you go. No knots, no tangles, no fuss! This truly is a yarn that you have to see in the shop.

Flat Feet would be a great idea for a friend who’s a sock knitter or unique socks for a lucky recipient.
