Custom Kits Introducing

Dishie Multi

• Hi there! Our new spring yarn colors

have just arrived, and we’re excited to

share them with you! CotLin, Comfy,

Shine, and Dishie have new shades in

each line, and we’ve also added variegated

Dishie Multi to our lineup to make your

dishcloths a little more playful.

Speaking of multicolor yarn lines, our

2012 Felici self-striping sock yarn colors

are here – you can find them all on page

28. There are still some 2011 Felici colors

from last year available, and you can see

the full selection of in-stock colors online.

Chroma, our slow-transitioning color

changing yarn, was a huge hit last year.

We have new colorways available in both

fingering and worsted weight, and there’s

a little of something for every taste – soft

pastels, juicy purples, muted rainbows, and

complicated neutrals. Make sure to check

out our blog as we post the projects that

we’ve knit or crocheted in new colors!

In this catalog, we’re also introducing

our new Custom Kits that allow you

to choose your own size and colors for

a given pattern. When you buy the

downloadable pattern, you’ll get 15%

off the yarn to make your project! This

discount only applies to the yarn for that

pattern, though, and you’ll see your total

savings at the bottom of your shopping

cart page. Personally, these Custom Kits

are a great fit for my style of knitting,

since I tend to knit a lot of solid-color

garments and accessories.

As always, if you have any questions about

our products (new or old), feel free to

give us a call or send us an email!

Inspired by crashing waves, spectacular sea stacks, and windswept cliffs, Rocky Shores is our

new eBook filled with six stunning designs sure to keep the chill of sea mist at bay. Each

pattern reinterprets the ideals of Aran patterns with modern updates, all while influenced by

the coastlines of the Northwest. If you are out on the town, spending a long weekend at the

beach or going out for a hike, the timeless look of the Aran designs found in Rocky Shores

will let you take a piece of the Northwest coastline with you, no matter where you are.

Just because a yarn is durable and hardwearing

doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your love

of color! The same Dishie that you know and

love is now available in a fun range of multi-

color shades. New Dishie Multi lets you choose

from subtle, tonal shades or go for bright and

bold tones with fun pops of color. Use Dishie

Multi with simple stitches for quick and easy

dishcloths, hand towels, and home décor, or

experiment by combining with Dishie’s selection

of solids for even more colorful possibilities!

INTRODUCING

Aloft™ Lace 75% Super Kid Mohair, 25% Silk246 yards/25 gram ball $6.99/25g ball

Nothing quite compares to the luxury of Aloft. Incredibly

airy and light, Aloft’s shimmering silk core adds strength

and a wonderful drape while the halo of super kid mohair

endows every project with superb softness.

Shorn from the finest young Angora goats, the super

kid mohair not only adds a surprising warmth, but it

also allows Aloft to be extremely versatile. Try working

with Aloft on larger needles or hooks for an instant fix

of effortless chic, or use a smaller gauge to achieve the

perfect lightweight cardigan that you will want to layer

over every outfit.

The beauty of Aloft lies in the fact that it doesn’t take

much to make your project shine! Start with simple

textures, such as garter stitch, for projects that are sure to

impress. And if your weakness is lace, be sure to remember

to use lifelines as the halo of the mohair can easily felt

together when working back rows. There are so many

qualities that make Aloft special; now it is time for you to

discover which ones you love most!
