NEW YARNS : Available in May

Here's a sneak preview of our 6 Fall/Winter ‘05 yarns:

Foliage™ is a woolly roving, spun loosely of fiber dyed color striations that create novel color effect. 12 unique color combinations inspire creativity for knitting and crocheting for men, women and children. Choose from colors based on New England's peak foliage harmonies, sophisticated menswear tweeds, brilliant optical brights or sweet baby mixes.		Vibe™ is a quick knit yarn. It is composed of a thick and thin, pure wool roving in brilliant modern solid color that runs parallel and randomly interlaces with a strand of black Suede. This chunky, feltable yarn is very 21st century modern, available in 7 colors that grab your attention from clear across the room.		Air™ is our woolly blend, big needle yarn that is as soft and light as its namesake. In 6 striped space dyed shades, the color shifts rhythmically and creates a striped pattern that is very “soft focus.”
Runway™ is a couture novelty yarn that's practically "ready to wear." This fantasy scarf yarn has random flags of leather-like gold or silver appearing among space dyed paper flags and pigtail strands, mixing color and texture to the max. It's available in 5 shades. Use on its own or trim with it.		Suede™ Tri-Color is a close cousin of our popular Suede yarn, with a clever twist on space dye. Inspired by the tie-dyed look of the 60's, 3 colors appear and gradually overlap, creating an ikat and ombre effect. Knit it or crochet it for a hipper than hippie accessory.		Softwist™ Colors is a variegated version of our classic, basic Softwist.
