Fiber of the Week - November 26

Hey, everbody - Happy Thanksgiving! I must say I'm very grateful for all the friends I've made this year in the fiber world. And I'm also very grateful that Coveted Yarn has a local shop for me to haunt. I'm telling you, I walk in intending to spend 5 minutes and it's a hour and a half later when I leave.

On to the fiber of the week. It's Socos by Esther Bitran. This comes in 12 hand-dyed colorways and I had a hard time deciding which one to show in this blog. This looks like it would be one heck of a scarf yarn and fast, too, because it's bulky. Guess I'm talking myself into buying some myself this week! Why not at 20% off?

The specs:

Fiber: 100% Wool

100g balls

Yardage: 82

Stitches: 2.5

Needle size: 11-13

This yarn will be on sale until midday December 3. If any of the colors you order are not currently in stock, Rob will immediately order them for you.

DECEMBER!!!! Excuse me, I have to go knit a scarf, then crochet some bookmarks, then knit some washcloths, oh and there are two more scarves to crochet.....

Fiber of the Week - October 8

Here's the yarn and here's the baby. How can you resist?

This week in Essex County we are enjoying the Topsfield Fair which is America's oldest agricultural fair, having started in 1818. The fair hosts a giant pumpkin contest, and this year's winner came in at 1, 464 pounds and was grown by Wesley Dwelly of Massachusetts. That's why I'm showing this color for the yarn of the week. Of course, you can see llamas at the fair and this leads us to the identity of the fiber of the week.

This week's 20% off fiber of the week is Baby Llama by Elsebeth Lavold. It's a big favorite in the Coveted Yarns family because it's so much fun just to pet the soft, soft yarn!

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!
