Hot Summer Days!!!

Our fall yarns are slowly lining the shelves of Knit Pickings. Vintage Wool is doing very well. But,so is Lustra another new yarn from Berroco. Check out the patterns on our store website or @ Berroco.com

Lustra is a 50/50 blend of Peruvian wool and tencel. The yarn has a beautiful sheen and soft drape. It comes in beautiful bright colors. Put up is in hanks of 197 yards with a stitch gauge of 4.5 st/inch making it a perfect weight for sweaters, vests, hats and mittens. Lustra retails @ $9.00/hank. Berroco also has an accompanying pattern book with some wonderful patterns.

We also received a portion of our Cascade order which included Lana Bambu. Lana Bambu is a heavy worsted weight multicolored beauty! It is 78% wool and 21% Bamboo blend. Put up is in hanks of 100 grms or 196 yards and st gauge of 4.5 st/inch on # 9needle. Soft and luscious it retails for $14 and can be used for sweaters, hats, mittens and scarves. Treat yourself to a new garment!
