A new colorway will be added to the shop on Monday, June 2! Glory is a lovely variegated blend of red, white and blue and will be available on the Master of My Feet base. You can’t beat the lovely twist on this fingering-weight yarn, and with an amazing blend of 80% superwash Merino and 20% nylon, it can be used for oh, so many projects!
paper and yarn began with a frustrated new knitter in need of some ‘encouragement’ and has evolved into a dye-works and local yarn shop (The Thankful Ewe). We specialize in grumpy stitch markers but also create simple dangle-frees and light weight retro-inspired collections.
Our ‘Hues’ line of hand dyed sock yarn was introduced a few years ago to provide mono-chrome colors that are great for lace knitting. We ship internationally too!
Welcome to Artisan Yarns! I think what sets us apart from many indie dyers is that we are not only dyers and fiber artists, but we also raise and breed alpacas. We know alpaca inside and out! We are a two-person operation and have been dying alpaca and alpaca blend yarns since 2000. As of the recent year, we’ve been growing quickly. This last year alone, we are featured in two of the latest books by Margaret Hubert (the first one os coming out June 1st), featured in Holla Knits, and last month we were a proud supplier of yarn to subscribers of the very popular yarn subscription club, Yarn Box.
Our yarns range from a worsted/chunky weight called “Alpaca Magic” to DK weights. “Creé-Ah’s Breath” is 100% baby alpaca, and “Alpaca Silk” is a 70% alpaca/30% silk blend. This July, we will debut our new “Alpaca Silk Lace” at the TKGA Conference. All our yarns come in Hand-Painted, Tonal, and Solid collections.
We hope you will join our Facebook fan page for updates on new yarns, colors, shows, announcements, etc., and join our Ravelry group.
We hope you love what you see (and feel). We believe in creating colorful luxury one small batch at a time. We’d be honored if you chose our yarn to make your next masterpiece!
I’ve just opened sign-ups for another year of Yarn Knot, my quarterly yarn subscription service. Each shipment includes a skein of hand-dyed, fingering-weight yarn along with a suggested pattern. Yarn Knot allows me to experiment with different fiber blends that aren’t part of my current lineup, and it’s a fun way for subscribers to try something new. All colorways are exclusive for one year. Payment options include either one-time or quarterly installments.
Above photos feature colorways and projects from past Yarn Knot installments.
Already we’re onto the fifth month and the fifth Caesar. This month sees a plethora of colourways on both yarns and fibre, inspired by Claudius. The Countess also has a new yarn base — Hebridean yarn, naturally black wool overdyed to create dark and moody colourways. Four colours currently available. Fingering weight. The update goes live on Friday 30th May at 7 p.m. UK time and there is a preview on the shop blog now.
At Cuddlebums we have been experimenting with some new fabulously bright colour ways, including the stunning Dancing Fish. As well as working on a new range of gradient sock blanks and coming soon some shawl boxes.
And if thats not enough we have also launched our Birthday Cuddlebox range as a permanent product, perfect for those last minute gifts or when someone needs a pick me up. With the option of a knitting or crochet box I know these will make fantastic presents for the yarn lovers in your life (or yourself).
We will also be running a discount on our rainbows boxes throughout June so keep watching for that.
If your lips could use a little lanolin love, Sweet Sheep Body Shoppe has got you covered. I’ve just added seven tasty lip balm flavors to the shop:
• Lavender EO: scented with essential oils, calming and relaxing
• Spearmint EO: scented withe essential oils, fresh and uplifting
• Passionfruit Rose: both fruity and floral, tropical and elegant
• Chocolate Cupcake: warm and chocolate-y and sweet
• Toasted Coconut: sweet and toast-y, tropical and nutty
• Strawberry Vanilla: like the lip smackers of childhood, sweet and fruity
• Lemon Lime: fresh and bright, tangy and sweet
These balms contain luxurious and skin-loving natural oils and butters, including mango butter, beeswax, avocado oil, vitamin E oil, and lanolin. They are hands-down my favorite lip balm (not just because I cooked them up) and I hope you love them, too, if you give them a try!
Two new luxury yarn bases have been added to the Pigeonroof Roof line, making their debut wearing the beautiful complex GLOW colorways.
The first one is Silky High Twist sock, a 2-ply fingering weight yarn that is 80% superwash Merino and 20% silk. It has the most wonderful feel, and the silk adds just that right amount of drape that would make this yarn amazing knit into garments and shawls.
The second one is Luxury Sock, a multi-plied construction fingering weight yarn made up of 70% superwash Merino, 20% Cashmere, and 10% nylon. This yarn is so incredibly buttery and soft you won’t want to put your knitting down!
Time really does fly when you’re having fun! Invictus Yarns opened the doors two years ago this month, and it’s been a blast ever since!
To celebrate this birthday, we’re offering a discount! Use coupon Code Happy15 at checkout to receive 15% off you purchase through May 31, 2014.
A quick update at Countess Ablaze of popular sock yarns and what the Countess describes as her desert island yarn, BFL & Masham DK weight. This is a British yarn which is spun nearby in Yorkshire. Also available are hand-dyed spinning fibres and Blending Boxes, 150 grams of hand dyed fibre in small amounts, perfect for drum carding, hand carding and blending boards.
