NEW Araucania Coliumo Mutli

Araucania Coliumo $19.50

Araucania Coliumo is another great newbie! It is a super soft, chunky/bulky strand of 70% soft wool and 30% silk and knits on a very reasonable 8mm needle. It is 100g/87m of snuggly-wuggly lurvliness! One skein makes a very big hat or pair of mitts, and 2 skeins are enough for a scarf. Take 4 skeins for a shawl/wrap and you are set!

This is our sample hat in Araucania Coliumo in colour 4 (bottom right above).

Araucania Nature Cotton & Patagonia Cotton
Yay! The Nature Cotton is finally here! If you haven’t seen it before it’s worth the attention. Nature Cotton and it’s hand dyed counterpart Patagonia are a chunky to bulky weight, slubby, hand dyed/kettle dyed cottons. It knits FAST and you can use it to make just about anything: sweaters, blankets, washcloths, etc. We like it so much, we even wrote our own pattern for it (see picture above).
