New Yarn, New Events

In the shop, we received new Malabrigo yarns: Aquarella and Twist. What delight!

Both cost $14:
Aquarella is not a new yarn, but new to the Y2Knit yarn shop. 65 yards of thick/thin wool in "water color" dyes. Stunning and hard to see in this pick (to the left), so stop by!

Twist is new to Malabrigo and beats everything they have done in my opinion. It's a plyed baby
merino (lace, 8 strands). 150 yds and a worsted to bulky weight.

I've already knit up a scarf in Aquarella, which is a thick/thin soft wool (is soft redundant when talking about Malabrigo?). I took an "old" design of Jill's (which are often at their best a few years after she designs as she tends to be ahead of fashion times) and reworked it, with only minor revisions. I like the affect and the yarn is delicious. I knit this in just a couple of hours of knitting time.

Felt balls made the perfect embellishment, though beads would do nicely too. This makes an artful accessory with interesting textures, color and movement.

Scarves are a great way to make old outfits seem new and a lot less work than a sweater!
