New in the shop
Last month I gave you a preview of the new Rowan yarns and patterns coming at the end of July and I promised you a preview of the Debbie Bliss A/W 12/13 range this month. Well I can do better than that! The new stock arrived early and I now have available in store:
Bluefaced Leicester Aran 100% British Superwash Wool, carrying the British Woolmark. I have 10 beautiful shades in stock. The pattern book features 13 classic designs focusing on texture as the fibre gives such clarity to the stitch.
Winter Garden is a chunky blend of luxurious Baby Llama, Merino, Silk and Linen. Stocked in all 8 shades the yarn features natural shades with a subtle tweedy fleck. 10 designs appear in the pattern book including accessories, jumpers and cardigans.
Angel Prints
A new addition to the popular Angel range is Angel Prints, a colour variegated version of the popular Mohair/Silk blend. This is a very versatile yarn knitting on needles between 3.25mm and 5mm.
Debbie Bliss has also added a new edition to the popular Baby Cashmerino books, this latest book features 13 bright knits for babies and children up to 7 all in Baby Cashmerino.
In order to make room for all the new stock, I am offering all Debbie
Bliss Rialto Aran and Debbie Bliss Rialto Chunky at 30% off. First come,
first served!
