| Limited Edition Yarn from Shibui, Tosh, & Lornas! Your Path to the Perfect Project Starts Here! | | |
This week, we asked you on Facebook what your favorite part of our weekly newsletters are and the overwhelming response was YARN! So this week, we're taking you on a journey through Yarnia! Buckle up...It's going to be a bahhh-mpy ride!
We begin this adventure on the shores of the river! Kick off your shoes, lean back, and chill out with Shibui Knits' newest limited edition colorway, "Riviera". A bright, ocean blue hue with deep emerald undertones makes this color a cool treat for your needles, hooks, and wardrobe. Add an extra touch of elegance to your summer projects with a skein or two of this exclusive, ultra-vibrant seaside shade! Available in all of your favorite Shibui bases, Cima, Fern, Lunar, Pebble, Rain, Silk Cloud, Staccato, and Vine, this yarn offers an ocean of possibilities!

Beware of Yarn Bombs!
As the journey continues, we suggest you keep your eyes peeled - there may be bombs around here... Yarn Bombs, that is! These colorful cakes of swanky single-ply yarn come in a surprising 860 yards (that's nearly half a mile!) and feature a rich shade range of varying tones and colors that effortlessly melt into one another. Made with 100% cruelty-free merino wool, this fingering weight yarn is available in your favorite Freia colors and knits up with ease for a beautiful and fluid project.

Next stop... URTH! Get your head out of the clouds and come back down to Urth, because we're absolutely tickled by the wide tonal variety of Urth Monokrom Chunky! Each skein of yarn comes in 99 yards of colorful depth, perfect for adding some fun flair to a work in progress or creating a quick, chunky project in your spare time. Vibrant and variegated with a subtle striping effect that creates a sophisticated complexity to any project, this yarn is seriously out of this world!

You, Me, and Yosemite!
|
Your tour of Yarnia continues as we make our way to the mountains! Hiking and camping season is finally upon us and this month's Lorna's Laces limited edition colorway comes straight from the Yosemite Valley. Drawing inspiration from the striking colors of the purple mountains and teal pines, this multicolored yarn is absolutely dazzling and can spruce up any project! Exclusively available in Shepherd Sock, "Yosemite" has a dash of nylon in the mix, adding to its durability as a lightweight, fingering yarn. Each skein comes in 430 yards of soft, squishy goodness and, as the name would suggest, gives you enough length for a pair of adult sized socks!

It's been said that the yarn industry is pretty close-knit and everyone finds a way to meet one another eventually. Jimmy specifically recalls being invited to eat dinner with Amy from Madelinetosh one night, and that very dinner sparked the strong friendship that they have now! Since then, they've traveled the world together, sharing stories and many a patterned project with one another. In honor of their bond and for their May Limited Edition color, Madelinetosh has come up with this cool and unique colorway! This subdued color features some cool greys that melt into a dusty turquoise that are simply to dye for! "Meeting New Friends" is available in three soft and scrumptious bases: Pashmina, Tosh Merino Light, and Tosh Vintage, offering a rainbow of options for gettin' crafty with it!

Project On Our Needles!
Shibui's Sakasama Jacket
This fresh and versatile jacket (that can be worn both inside out and upside down, by the way) will open up a plethora of ways to personalize you outfit! When worn one way, you get a voluminous and fluid shawl collar, and when worn another way, you get to show off the large drapey lapels that can be pinned up with a shawl pin for an elegant finish. With virtually no seaming, this project is a breeze to knit up!
