Imperial Stock Ranch
We've received great new patterns designed by Leigh Radford and new yarn from Imperial Stock Ranch. This yarn from an Oregon ranch is milled without using harsh chemicals and beautifully dyed in colors that reflect the high desert landscape where the sheep are raised. It will knit up into a light and lofty fabric and is great for quick, chunky sweaters without the usual weight of a thicker yarn.
Noro Sekku
This lace weight yarn is a blend of cotton, wool, nylon and silk. Knitted or crocheted, the colors will beautifully gradate from one to the next, and will keep you going on a project just to see what the next color will be! Get ready for spring with this soft, light-weight yarn.
Katia Degrade
This 100% cotton yarn has long color repeats similar to Noro, but in much subtler hues. Each ball will change from lighter to darker to lighter as you knit with it, and would make a very cute child's garment or a great cover-up for spring in Santa Barbara.
