December's "Spoiler"

Well, here we are! It's a brand new year and I'm so glad I restarted this club. Nothing is more yummy than cashmere :) I enjoyed dyeing it so much, I've decided to carry a few cashmere yarns in the store (under luxury yarn) on a regular basis - the store will carry DK weight and fingering in 100% cashmere and a cashmere/silk blend so if you are loving the cashmere, drop on by and see if there's something there that strikes your fancy too! :)

December's colourway was a fun one to dye - I decided to do a purple that hinted toward blue slightly so some of the skeins will end up showing a bit more blue than others but I hope you like it! It'll create a nice tonal variation when knitting! So what are you plans for this yarn? I love socks but maybe a scarf or cowl might suit you too! Enjoy and Happy New Year!

December's "Teaser"

Yay! All the yarns are dyed and ready to be mailed. Shipments go out today (early by 4 days! yay!) and I'm hoping some of you just might get your cashmere before Christmas - fingers crossed! This is the 100% Mongolian Cashmere in fingering weight and oh-so-divine.

Also, when you're winding this yarn, please be extra careful as the cashmere is very delicate and can easily break. If you line it all up properly on your swift, it should come off no problem without any snags or breaks but it does need a bit of care when winding into a yarn cake.

Enjoy everyone and Happy Holidays!
