We have a huge shipment from Miss Babs Yarns this week:
Tarte 437
Tarte is a sturdy fingering weight yarn with Tencel and Nylon – making it a great sock yarn option. We got 27 colors!
- 437 yards
- 75% superwash Merino wool, 15% Nylon, 10% Tencel
- $24
Kilimanjaro 437
These are smaller versions of the mega skeins of Kilimanjaro that you have seen from Babs before. The blend of BFL and Nylon is wonderful for socks, sweaters and shawls. 33 colorways have arrived and many are in sweater quantities!
- 437 yards light fingering weight
- 85% Superwash Bluefaced Leicester wool, 15% nylon
- $24
These boxes couldn’t be better timed! The latest issue of Twist Collective just went up, and it is bursting with inspirations appropriate for these yarns:
Allotrope by Manda Shaw uses 2 skeins of either Tarte or Kilimanjaro.
Fortuna by Marnie MacLean uses 2 skeins of either Tarte or Kilimanjaro.
Feileacan by William Nelson is a beautiful cabled hat and mitten set that would use 1-2 skeins of either yarn.
