Malabrigo Book
The very first Malabrigo book is here!
Malabrigo Book One by Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton features designs for women including vets, hats and scarves, sweaters and even a dress all using the wonderfully soft Malabrigo yarns - Worsted, Lace, Chunky and Gruesa. You will also find a cabled men's pullover and a striped child's pullover.
Mmmmm......Casbah!
Want a luxurious treat to knit without a huge chunk out of your pocket book?
We just received our order of Hand Maiden Casbah! This is a great hand-dyed fingering weight sock yarn - the colors are spectacular and the softness is devine. 80% Merino, 10% Cashmere and 10% Nylon - 355 yards per skein - and machine washable!
If you're not a sock knitter, this would be a fabulous scarf or lace project too!
