Adriafil Monello is an interesting thick and thin lumpy yarn, 55% wool and 45% acrylic. The boxy cardigan is not knitted to an Adriafil pattern, but is interchangeable with two other lightweight super chunky yarns we stock (10mm needles).  Size 34″ takes approximately 8 balls, I knitted it slightly longer than the pattern to cover the middle.

We love this new yarn, Rialto Lace can take as little as 3 or 4 balls to make a garment, good price, luxurious look and feel and lightweight too.

A couple of great new Noro books just in time for Christmas. The Noro Accessories book includes many easy to knit small projects including gloves, mittens scarves, cowls, bags, a really cute dogs coat and much more!  The Knit Noro includes larger projects such as shawls, wraps, cardigans etc.

Rowan Kidsilk Haze Stripe is great to knit and great colours too.  Unfortunately the photo doesn’t do the yarn justice.  The 50gm ball includes a scarf pattern but I made a lovely garter stitch shawl instead,  just cast on 7 sts using 5mm needles, increase at each end (3sts border so increase after the 3rd stitch at the beginning and before the last 3 sts) and either side of centre stitch on alternate rows with a yarn over needle then knit the loop on the next row thus increasing 4 sts every other row.

Wonderfully soft lace weight Party Angel with a hint of glitter.  Ten fabulous shades, suitable for day or evening wear with a new  two pattern booklet either a stole or shrug, using no more than 4 or 5 balls.

Adriafil Mistero is a wool rich (53% wool, 47% acrylic), shaded lightweight chunky.  Knits on a 7mm needle, approx 90mtr for 50gm, so meterage is quite good and 14 sts, 20 rows to 10cm.  We have knitted the yarn to a standard chunky pattern but Adriafil offer a range of free downloads on their website.  Follow link.

This chunky version of the dk has a range of  nine colours and good pattern support.

Blend – 30% Wool, 70% Acrylic, 100gm balls

Tension – 14 sts, 20 rows on 6mm needles and approx. 134 mtrs/147 yds

Gorgeous – Debbie Bliss Angel kid mohair and silk, extremely soft and light weight.  This shrug is from the Debbie Bliss magazine, we took 3 balls @ £7.92  for the 34″ – affordable luxury!
