From Handmaiden:  a new and better superwash

“We are pleased to introduce our new merino/cashmere blend Bess. This machine washable yarn has been treated with the totally new BEST wash process. No chlorine is used in the treating of this merino making this much better for the environment. Perfect for shawls, baby clothes, camisoles and the like. The hand of this yarn is soft and still feels alive. And it takes the colour so well. 88% BESTwash merino, 12% Cashmere. 100g /275m 24sts/4″

A single skein will make something very pretty and very soft. Come on in and pet the yarn.

Chain Reaction

March is National Crochet Month and Knitknack is celebrating with a couple of awesome projects. Chain Reaction: a new design exclusive to Knitknack from Kimberly McAlindin, a stylish ultra-flattering design that looks great on everyone and works up beautifully in a variety of yarns. Customize yours for the warm weather or make it in Ella Rae Chunky Superwash just like the original and wear it as the perfect chill chaser. Take a peek and read more about it here.

Our second project is a colorful classic: Vintage Crocheted Blanket from Churchmouse.

Iced: Seriously cozy

A miserable head cold has knocked the needles out of my hands so I’m just curling up on the couch in this perfect cardigan.
