Slideshow of our Hand Dyeing Workshop

On June 5, Knit Pickings had our Hand Dyeing Workshop, and wow- what a creative group of students we had! These ladies made some gorgeous color and pattern choices, don't you think? It was wonderful to see the transformation from blank yarn canvas to stunning, one-of-a-kind works of art!

You won't believe it until you feel it.

Sue has been very busy choosing new fall yarns lately, and with good reason- there's so much out there to pick from! One standout has got us all very excited here at the shop. We all oohed and ahhed over it.

Two words:Vintage Wool.

It's from Berroco. It's not just soft, it's sooooffft. You'll be convinced it's fine merino wool- (we were) but it's not. It's 217 yds. of a blend of 50% acrylic, 40% wool, and 10% nylon. It's machine wash gentle, dry flat. And did we mention it's soft? We don't know how Berroco did it but we know we love it, and we know you all will too. We're expecting delivery of 15 colors of Vintage Wool the week of July 7th.!

Happy Knitting,
