Just Landed: Miss Babs Yowza and K2

Just in time for Ravellenics or just chasing the winter blues away with a new project, Miss Babs has arrived back in space with a beautiful selection of K2 and Yowza for us.

There’s still enough winter to need a cozy chunky cowl, and K2 is one of our favorites to wrap up in. 240 yards of Merino in Babs’ colors works up for an instant gratification project. We’re fond of the Boshoku Cowl from Olga Buraya-Kefelian, and we have plenty of other suggestions to get you started.

We also have a giant restock of Yowza, the 560 yard mega-skein of light worsted weight here to meet all your needs. Whether you’ve been plotting a cozy shawl, or tackling a sweater that’s been sitting in your project queue for ages, Yowza works up beautifully in semi-solids or wild variegation. And we love how the mega skeins leave us fewer ends to weave in. There are a ton of beautiful colors for you to pick from, and sweater quantities of most.
