Tibetan Cloud Worsted

$37, 330 yards, hand-wash, 5-5.5 stitches per inch

Tibetan Cloud Worsted is gracefully soft and incredibly warm.  Think about it.  Don’t yaks live in cold climates?  Their insulating fur can do the same for you — keep you nice and toasty!  Try this yarn out for its softness, warmth and durability.  You will not be disappointed.

Mimi

$22, 330 yards, hand-wash, 6-6.5 stitches per inch

Mimi is a light, fluffy, and buttery soft yarn.  We’ve heard such good feedback we know you don’t want to miss this. Words like “heavenly” and “amazing” have been tossed around this yarn.  Please note that no minks were harmed making this yarn, they just got pet a lot.

We were so happy to see this little miss in her new hat. How could we not share these photos?

The pattern for the Vintage Pixie Cap is available in Vintage Knits for Modern Babies.  Her little bonnet was worked up in one skein of Rialto DK.

Ben came to us with no crochet skills under his belt and look at him now! He’s mastered the basics, crocheted gloves, conquered amigurumi, and has moved onto garments. Private lessons are a great way to cover a variety of topics outside what is offered in our already expansive class catalog. Private lessons are available for adults and children, in private and semi-private formats, with any of our bright and happy staff.  If you’d like to schedule a private lesson, please drop by the store or give us a call at 415-621-6642

When Anja strolled in wearing her Milly Vest, we knew we had to snap some photos. Worked up in Rowan Felted Tweed, this vest combines classic tweed and cables with an extra little pop of lace.  She tells us it worked up very quickly, and using just three balls of Felted Tweed (less than the pattern calls for), we believe her.  Feel free to take a look at some other DK weight yarn that would work for this project.  The Milly vest is a free pattern from Knitty.
