The StoreNews

Make Me!

 Since winter is in full swing again let me introduce myself. I am the Frieze Shawl!

You make me on a Size 10 needle and could use yarns like Brisbane, Tosh Merino, Malabrigo Twist, Simplinatural or Hedgehog Merino Aran. I might look difficult but I promise I'm not. Some well placed slipped stitches are really all it takes to make me and with such a big needle, I'll be keeping you warm in no time!
I'll be hanging out at Annie and Company if you'd like to come meet me and maybe make me for yourself! The gals at the store will be so happy to help you get started.
See you soon!

Yarn Bowls!   

We met the nicest lady at TNNA and totally fell in love with her handmade yarn bowls!
For anyone who doesn't know, a yarn bowl is a great way to contain those wild yarn balls that like to roll around and jump off of surfaces as you knit from them. They usually have a hole or curved cut out that you string the yarn through and the ball can roll around safely in the bowl. It's brilliant!
Amanda Pawley, of Pawley Studios, makes these great bowls by hand, which is what we love most about them! They make excellent gifts for the knitter in your life or even for yourself! It's a beautiful way to contain your yarn.

Katia
We have 3 yarns from Katia's Concept No. 2 this year!
On the top left, Silk Tweed. This is a DK weight yarn Silk, mohair, wool and a splash of nylon. It's got a really lush softness to is due to the mohair and the colors play really well together making it hard to resist!
On the top right, Cotton Merino. This is a yarn we got last fall but it did so well that more colors were added and featured in the Concept No. 2 book! This is a worsted weight yarn that has a really nice fluffiness to that's weightless. You'll feel like you're wearing a warm, cozy cloud!
On the bottom middle, Velluto. This is a classic velour yarn in very rich colors. The softness of this yarn is on another level so you'll definitely want to make accessories AND sweaters with it!
The Concept No. 2 book is full of great pattern ideas for these yarns!
It's not too late to start a holiday project for a loved one, even if that loved one if yourself!

More Malabrigo!

Who's ready for Malabrigo overload?? We are!!
We have a handful of new colors in some of your favorite weights plus a new yarn that you're going to love!
Malabrigo Sock
 This is a tried and true favorite amongst the sock knitting crowd. The yardage is plentiful and the colors bring any sock pattern to life. Don't worry, if sock aren't your thing, this yarn is also wonderful for shawls!
Malabrigo Twist
This is Malabrigo Worsted's plied cousin who is just a tad larger in gauge. It's great on a size 9 needle and has a great squish to it that makes it a great choice for sweaters!
Malabrigo Rasta
We. Love. Rasta.
Seriously though, this yarn is one of our go-to winter project yarns. The bulky nature and multi-color dye makes this the obvious choice for a chunky hat or cowl.
and last but not least (drumroll please)
Malabrigo Caracol
Just imagine a thick and thin yarn version of Rasta. Now imagine it wearing fishnet stockings. Ta-da! You have Caracol! The contrast of the hand-dyed yarn against the black thread makes this yarn knit up like a work of art. It will be like wearing stained glass! You must have some!
There yarns are ready for you to love them so stop by the store before someone else comes along!
