    LUXURY YARNS ABOUND!

    We are now officially ready for Fall, with the last of our big shipments arriving today (except, of course, for KOIGU and PRISM which arrive in October/November). And what shipments they were! Even John the UPS Guy was in awe. Why? Because we received hand-dyed cashmere and the Louisa Harding Collection!

    We have been yearning for LOBSTER POT CASHMERE ever since our lovely sales rep Donna showed it to us a few years ago. And now we felt ready for and worthy of it. Wait until you see this worsted weight 100% cashmere from Cape Cod. It truly is dyed in Lobster Pots! We have natural and black as well as an array of Cape Cod colors. One skein makes a scarf, which we will furiously knit tonight. And Sue, the owner of Cape Cod Fibers, was kind enough to send some patterns as well, which we will offer free with the purchase of this amazing yarn. Anyone for a baby set in pure cashmere????

    And the LOUISA HARDING COLLECTION arrived today. For those of you who read our TNNA report, you may remember that we viewed this as the most exciting new collection at the show. Four yarns: IMPRESSIONS, a mohair blend,

    SARI RIBBON, a broad ribbon with metallic running through it,

    KIMONO ANGORA, a luscious angora blend,

    and KIMONO RIBBON, a jewel toned rayon ribbon.

    And look at IMPRESSIONS and SARI RIBBON knit together:

    Louisa calls that Button Wrap and I am knitting it for myself right after I finish the Lobster Pot Cashmere scarf.....


    Two books: THE DESIGN COLLECTION and ACCESSORIES. We chose colors and fibers that create many of the designs in these books. We have seldom seen a more feminine or original collection. We think you will agree.

    So I guess current projects get put aside, because we can't wait to tear into these gorgeous fibers.

    Other news: three more Rowan books are in: BIG IT UP, CLASSIC WOMAN, and CLASSIC WEEKEND, as well as new sock book SENSATIONAL KNITTED SOCKS.

    Finally, our newsletter will be out next Tuesday, September 6. If you want it before it goes up on the website (which takes about a week), please sign in on the lower left side of this home page. You will follow a three step process to get on our email list. And that means you will never miss a newsletter, sale, or special WoolWinders event (hint hint) again.
