Fiber of the Week - Sept. 25

Maureen here. What a great response from the sale - thanks to all our customers!

So now another Fiber of the Week. This one is Como by Debbie Bliss. It is a bulky yarn, comes in 16 colors and is very, very soft. If you're like me, you're already thinking about Christmas presents; Christmas is three months from today. This yarn would knit or crochet very, very quickly into scarves or hats. Also, our distributor says it felts well (haven't tried it for that yet myself.) Another plus - the Debbie Bliss Como pattern book is on sale at Coveted Yarn for 15% off this week.

The specs:
Como by Debbie Bliss
Fiber: 90% Wool 10% Cashmere

50g
Yardage: 46
Stitches: 3
Needle size: 10

This yarn will be on sale until midday October 1. If any of the colors you order are not currently in stock, Rob will immediately order them for you.

Fiber of the Week - Sept. 10



As the weather cools (in the 40's at night in some parts of Massachusetts this week!), more and more of us are picking up the needles or hooks to start that fall project. I hear that a lot of knitters and crocheters are looking for soft yarn. Here's a beautiful Italian that combines merino, silk and a touch of cashmere. It comes in 22 delicious colors. It's Cashmere Merino Silk DK by Sublime and it's 20% off this week as our fiber of the week.

The specs:
Fiber: 75% Extrafine Merino Wool, 20% Silk, 5% Cashmere

50g balls

Yardage: 127

Stitches: 5.5

Needle size: 6



This yarn will be on sale until midday Sept 17. If any of the colors you order are not currently in stock, Rob will immediately order them for you.
P.S. Don't forget the Clearance section for more great buys!

Fiber of the Week - Sept. 3



Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend! I happen to know that there was a cookout at the home of Coveted Yarn where projects were shown, knit nights were planned, steak was grilled, and the best corn of the season was had by all. Yum!


Up next for 20% off is a great-looking Aran weight sweater yarn. It's from Europe and called Flama by Fil Katia. As you might be able to tell from the photo, it's a self-striping yarn, but the contrasting stripes are intermittent. This gives a much more subtle look than the usual self-stripers.

The specs:

Fiber: 50% Wool, 50% Acrylic

50g balls

Yardage: 98

Stitches: 4.5

Needle size: 7


Flama will be on sale until midday Sept 10. If any of the colors you order are not currently in stock, Rob will immediately order them for you.


P.S. Rob has a ton of stuff in the Clearance section coming soon. Now's your chance to get some Blue Heron or Schaefer at greatly reduced prices. First come, first serve!
