Hello Fibre Friends!
It really is spring now! Look at our nettles growing! Feel free to pick some the next time you are at the shop if you would like to make nettle tea. It is supposed to be very good for you, and it has a pleasant mild flavour. Be sure to wear gloves before you pick them though, as they do sting!

Along with the nettles, here is my Miller Shawl. A simple top down shawl pattern designed by myself, using 2 skeins of Louet Euroflax Linen - read more about this amazing yarn below - we just got in a new shipment! Both the pattern and the yarn are available at the shop. It's a great summer shawl - so cool to knit and wear!

Keep Knitting,
Megan

MadelineTosh Sock
Summer sweater knitting ahoy! We've just received a shipment of everyone's favourite, Madelinetosh - this time it's Tosh Sock in twenty shades. Each skein is 100% superwash merino wool, 395 yards per skein, and just right for a nice lightweight sweater or shawl! This won't stay in stock for long. $29.

Louet Euroflax Linen
Linen is the ultimate summer fibre - strong, drapey and gets better with every wash. We've just got in new stock of Louet's sport weight Euroflax in solid and hand-dyed colours. The Miller Shawl pattern pictured above is free with the purchase of two skeins! 270 yards per 100g skein. $24 for solids, $27 for multis.

Serena by Manos Del Uruguay
A super soft blend of warmth and strength! Serena is a DK-weight 3ply yarn, a cozy mix of 60% baby alpaca and 40% pima cotton. It's lightweight and warm, in a pretty spring palette. 170 yds per 50g skein, $15.

Luminous Yarns from Jill Draper
You have got to see and touch these yarns! Jill Draper is a small independent dyer from upstate New York, and her yarns are absolutely beautiful. Hudson is a worsted weight, 100% superwash merino, with a generous 245 yards per 100g skein. Available in gorgeous semi-solid colours, it's going fast! Great for sweaters and luxurious baby items. $28.

Splendor Sock Yarn is maybe the softest sock yarn we've ever felt! This machine washable blend of 80% merino, 10% cashmere and 10% nylon would be great for a small shawlette or super special socks. 435 yards per 100g, $29.
