We have three new arrivals to tell you about today! Hopefully they will inspire your stitching this weekend as we head into some very cold temps and potentially snowy weather.
Neighborhood Fiber Co Organic Studio Sock
Studio Sock is now organic! It is made with GOTS-certified organic wool but still machine-washable with a sturdy 8-ply construction. The wool is minimally processed to be environmentally friendly and even softer than before. While each skein has enough yardage for most sock patterns, this hardy yarn is also excellent for fingering-weight shawl and sweater projects.
Yarn details:
- 100% organic Merino
- 400 yards/4 oz
- 7-8 sts/inch US 1-2
- $32 and available in store only
