Fiber of the Week - Aug. 27



Summer is softening here on Cape Ann with cool nights for sleeping and lower humidity. Yesterday was the first day of school in Rockport! It's definitely time to think about getting a sweater project on the needles. It's still four months until the holidays, so you won't have to feel guilty about knitting one for yourself, especially with this lovely Louisa Harding yarn at 20% off.

This is the Kashmir DK, a yarn with the warmth of wool, the softness of cashmere, and the structure of microfiber. Due to its chained or braided construction, it will give you good stitch definition. With 26 colors, you could find a great pick for a woman's or child's sweater, a man's hat, or a scarf for anyone. Along with this fiber of the week, we'd like to welcome the Louisa Harding line of yarns to covetedyarn.com.

The specs:

Fiber: 55% Wool 10% Cashmere 35% Microfiber

50g balls

Yardage: 116

Stitches: 5.5

Needle size: 6

As usual: this yarn will be on sale until midday Sept 3. If any of the colors you order are not currently in stock, Rob will immediately order them for you. Happy Labor Day, everybody!

Fiber of the Week Sale - July 16




Hi, everybody. Maureen here with the 20% off fiber of the week.

This week it's Schaefer Yarn Company's Susan. I picked it because it's cotton, it's gorgeous, and it's from my homeland of upstate New York. Here are the stats:
  • 100% Mercerized Pima Cotton
  • 6 Oz. Skein 470 Yards
  • Sportweight - 6st/inch
  • Needle size US 5

This handpainted cotton is available in 27 colorways - some multicolored, some solid. As always, if Rob doesn't have a specific color in stock he will order it for you. Sale ends midday next Wednesday the 23rd.

Keep cool!
