Today we have an amazing new selection of worsted weight machine washable merinos! (And they are both 10% off while still in the boxes and not unpacked or labeled!!) They are very similar yarns and would work very nicely together however, we the Lorna’s Laces colors are softer while the Fiberists have more saturated jewel tones like we are used to seeing from our local dyers.

Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Worsted

Shepherd Worsted is an oldy but a goody (just new to us!) Each skein is 225 yards and is regularly priced at $20.50, but grab it today and save 10%. We also have a wonderful door prize for one very special person attending tonight’s stitch in space, courtesy of the ladies at Lorna’s Laces. It is a kit for the Baby Stripes Cardigan! This pattern is also available for free here. We also have an adorable baby hat pattern available for free with purchase (while supplies last)!

We highly recommend this yarn for baby projects because it is both soft and machine washable. Here are some great projects to get you started:

For an adult project:
