Greetings!
Let me tell you about some new yarns in the shop for spring:

Classic Elite's Classic Silk is a silk/cotton blend wrst. wt. for summer
shells and sweaters. I'm working on a cable front top which is in the
new booklet, Atlantis, designed especially for this yarn.

More Cotton Twirl from Crystal Palace
This is a wrst. wt. cotton with 10% elastic for memory. Great colors
for a baby blanket!

and more Tatamy Tweed from Kraemer Mills of Nazareth, Pennsylvania.
This is a cotton/acrylic wrst. wt.

All three of the above would be great for summer knitting.

Have you tried the Magic Ball from Be Sweet yarns yet? Nadine Curtis
created Be Sweet in 2003 while living in Cape Town, South Africa.Be
Sweet works with several job creation programs in developing countries
who give artisans the confidence and the means to support themselves and
their families in an otherwise economically depressed region. Members
of the Xhosa Tribe hand spin the mohair for this yarn.
Mew Mew's carries the famous Magic Ball and the mohair.

Malabrigo's silky merino arrived since last newsletter.We also stock
rastita, worsted wt, rios, and sock wts.

New: Local dyer Sky High Fibers' BFL/silk hand dyed lace wt. in
pastels, natural, and loud brights.
