The yarn shown in the photo (left) is a new product. It is in the same genre as Marina (which has been warmly embraced by our customers), and has the same characteristics as Marina in terms of how it knits, and especially how easy it is to knit. This new variation on this theme of specialty yarns has a slight metallic content, which really sets off the yarn. Quite obviously that metallic content will ensure that your finished pieces will have a natural sparkle, which gives them a unique appearance and pizzaz. Eack skein is approximately 33 yarns. The yarn content is 95% Acrylic, and 5% Polyester. Given the appearance of this yarn, it would be perfect for dressing up casual attire or providing a perfect complement to upscale. It is also a perfect for a single skein project. Stop by the store and see these exciting new yarns for yourself.

It is recommended to knit using size 8 or 9 (US) needles, and will be approximately 18-20 stitches per 4 inches. We have an excellent selection of these two yarns, and will soon have additional inventory from this company.
We love lace knitting. Accordingly we are concentrating on increasing the lace yarns we stock and have available. We just received a shipment of "Morning Cloud Light," from Blue Heron Yarns. While Blue Heron is not a new product for us, their Lace yarn is, and in fact it is new for Blue Heron. We are fortunate to be among the first stores to receive this exciting new yarn. Blue Heron colors are legendary, as is their quality. Each skein is approximately 1,200 yards.
As we said previously we are seriously ordering new, high wuality, lace weight inventory. We just received this lovely lace weight yarn from Ella Rae. This yarn is 100% extra fine Merino. The possibilities for lace knitting projects, which are ideal for the spring and summer months ahead are nearly endless. If you are looking for a lace project, please stop by the store, and discuss what your are looking to make. We have an incredible inventory of patterns, and near infinite resources to help you find the perfect project to suit your needs. Just because warmer weather is upon us, is no reason to abandon knitting. There is no finer completment to an outfit that a lace accessory.
We received five colors of Katia "Triana," which is a unique yarn. Triana is 100% Acrylic, and each skein is approximately 100 grams and approximately 33 yards. It is a great single skein yarn, and makes a very unique scarf. Moreover, it is quite easy to knit, and hence, making a scarf takes very little time. The scarf shown in the photo (right) was made using a single skein or Triana, and was easily completed in one evening
Late last year we received our first shipment from Be Sweet Yarns. The customer response was incredible. We immediately placed a second order, but the lead time for delivery was exceedingly long. In fact, that order just arrived today! However, it was worth the wait. Be Sweet is an extremely high quality yarn, that from our perspective should be considered to be a "Boutique" product. The results you achieve with this yarn speak for themselves, and we have never seen anything similar from any other company. The photos below show the Be Sweet yarns we received today.
We also received another exceptional, and unique yarn from Be Sweet named "American Beaded Ball." The photo left shows the unique qualities of this yarn. The yarn itself is 100% baby mohair, with hand tied glass beads. We have six compelling colors to choose from.
March 10: Once again, new inventory. This time we just received a yarn which is new to the market, which is similar to Cocoon or Frivola. While Cocoon & Frivola are generally referred to as "PomPom" yarns, this one is a bit different, in that the "PomPoms" are a bit longer. At present we just have three colors in stock, but we have more on order. We will be posting a photo of a completed scarf in the near future. The clos-up of the yarn (below right) clearly shoes the elongated aspect of this really great yarn.
March 7: More new inventory, and it is really great, with a large selection of colors to choose from. Yesterday we closed the Central Florida Fair exhibition. It was a lot of fun, and it seems that a lot of people had a lot of fun. AND who whole lot of people learned to knit! Once again, we want to thank our vendors/manufacturers who were so gracious in providing donations, which helped make this event the stunning success it was. We have a lot of new knitters as a result of their generosity, and some of those new knitters are already wearing their first garments, which were completed during the event. We look forward to 2012 with great anticipation.
March 4: We have been quite busy at the Central Florida Fair. It has been a terrific event, and we have had a lot of interest with aspiring knitters. The fair ends on Sunday, and life will once again return to normal. The submissions in the fiber arts categories were really exceptional. It is hard to imagine how judges minds work, because for the most part, all of the submissions look like winners. We offer our congratulations to all of the winners as well as to everyone who submitted items for display and judging at the fair. Life in the Knitting Patch has continued, and that means we have been receiving new inventory.
From Trendsetter we have received two new yarns, both of which are really spectacular. First is "Zoe." We received two colors of this truly elegant yarn.
