Hello Knitsters!
I've been dying! I had wanted to get this dyed up before the end of the summer, and I'm glad to report success.

This yarn is white Cascade Fixation which we skeined up and dyed in a riot of fun colours.

It is perfect for socks or cottony soft baby knits. I took one skein, divided it in two, and am working on toe-up socks for my 5 year old daughter.

I'll only need the one skein for a pair - and the stripes are coming out perfect on 48 stitches and a 2.75mm needle.

Here is a great collection of various free patterns that use Cascade Fixation.

The yarn is handpainted on a base of 98.3% cotton and 1.7% elastic and 100 yards in 50 grams. $14 each

Keep Knitting,
Megan

Madil Kid Seta and Birch
An old classic is now available again for free download! The Birch shawl was published by Rowan several years ago, and this timeless lacy shawl is now available for download on the Rowan website.

Madil's Kid Seta is a perfect match for this light as air shawl - the laceweight 70% mohair, 30% silk blend is soft, fuzzy, and just glows. Available in over a dozen colours for $15 a ball, Birch takes just three balls.

Not quite ready for lace? Kid Seta is a great yarn to hold along with something smooth for just a little bit of halo - the legwarmers from Last Minute Knitted Gifts are a perfect project for transitioning into fall. And with 230m per 25g ball, a little goes a long way!

Flying Saucers have Landed!
New from Schoppel Wolle, Flying Saucers are handdyed with two strands together to ensure perfectly matching socks! The yarn is wound onto a "saucer" spool as a double strand - perfect for knitting two socks at the same time.

There is a great video tutorial on using the Flying Saucer on the Skacel website! This hearty sock yarn is made up of 75% virgin wool and 25% nylon for a hardwearing, machine washable pair of socks. And with 459 yards per 100g spool, you'll have plenty of yardage for any stitch pattern or size! $22.

Also from Schoppel Wolle, Crazy Zauberball (above) is flying off the shelves! Each ply of this 2-ply yarn is dyed individually, then plied together for crazy self-striping combinations. 75% superwash wool, 25% nylon; 459 yds per 100g ball, $20.

Handmaiden Silks
You know it and love it - Handmaiden Sea Silk is back in stock, along with the popular Angel Wings shawl. Knit this lacy triangular shawl with just one skein! Each handdyed skein is 70% silk, 30% Seacell and has 400m per 100g. $39.

Also new in stock is the ultra luxurious Swiss Mountain Sea Sock. This fingering weight yarn is made up of 51% silk, 29% superwash merino, and 20% Seacell and is machine washable! Each handdyed 100g skein contains 400m - perfect for a shawlette. Also $39.
