Cottonsmooth Like Butter (and there's a shade like butter, too!)
Posted by Casper Alixander on

A little while ago a new yarn graced our shelves, the King Cole Cottonsmooth DK, and we literally haven't shut up about it since. As we speak Eleanor is talking about it to a customer, if that shows you how popular it is.
It's 100% mercerised cotton, making it ridiculously silky and absolutely gorgeous to work with. Eleanor knitted a shop sample, a tank top (pictured) and every now and then I just go to stroke it because... smooth. So smooth. It's got a pretty standard yardage, 218yds per 100g, so a good few balls will make your garment and you won't need to worry about running out.

Knit In Public Day! Are you joining us?
Posted by Casper Alixander on

Eleanor's always loved putting on a good event. This year, it's no different. On the Saturday from 10:30am until 5pm (basically, shop opening hours) we're all going to sit outside the shop and relax and knit in public even if it decides to snow. Well... maybe not, but the sentiment is there. WE'RE GOING TO KNIT IN PUBLIC.
All you're going to need to bring is a camping chair or other portable seat, and whatever you're working on be it a knitting project or a crochet one.

Baby Pure-ly Perfect
Posted by Casper Alixander on

This yarn is geared more towards babies but don't let the name fool you, you should absolutely treat yourself to something made in this devilishly soft yarn. It's 70% premium acrylic and a whopping 30% polyamide, which makes this yarn so soft it's like you're knitting with a kitten.
