Jade Sapphire has even the seasoned knitters around here oohing and aahing!
For soft, 100% cashmere loveliness, please welcome
Mongolian Cashmere 4-ply! Each rich and vibrant shade is hand-dyed for a
tonal quality you just can't get any other way. The generous 200 yards per skein
of this DK weight yarn will work up beautifully on US 3-5 needles. Or try Jade
Sapphire's
Moonlight, which mixes harmonious shades in a hand-spun 50% cashmere, 50%
combed mink blend. This DK weight yarn is extremely soft and the color
combinations will make even the simplest of projects shine! Then there's the super smooth
Silk/Cashmere 2-Ply, a lace-weight 55% silk, 45% cashmere blend. The silk
adds rich intensity and a subtle sheen to each gorgeous colorway, while the
cashmere enhances each fiberlicious skein with cloud-like texture. With 400
yards per skein, a little of this lovely yarn goes a long way!
If you adore these treasures from Jade Sapphire half as much as we do, have a look at some of the stunning pattern support from Jade Sapphire, Bad Cat Designs, and Getting Purly with It, showcasing what each of these yarns can do for fingerless mitts, hats, shawls and scarves! Peruse the colorways and kits and treat yourself or someone special this holiday season!

We just got a ton of Madelinetosh
Vintage Short Skeins. And when I say a ton, I mean skeins upon skeins worth!
Be sure to check out the latest batch of this wonderful yarn that is priced several dollars lower than the regular Vintage and just 10 yards short! I think the
best part is that since we received these all in one batch, we'll be able to
fill most big orders (think sweaters!) with the same dye batch! Woo-hoo! Be sure
to check them all out!

Here's a tiny sampling of our handiwork this month...!! Click on any of the thumbnails to take a closer look or check out all of our projects!
Courtney's Any Gauge Cowl | Courtney was looking for an easy pattern to use on her first cowl. She found it in our store favorite, Ann Norling's Easy Cowl in Any Gauge! The Tosh Pashmina knit up beautifully, offering its signature subtle sheen and softness to an otherwise simple and easy to knit cowl. |
Leanne's Orbit Scarf | Leanne literally knit this scarf up in an hour. Even better, she was able to knit it with her arms only--no needles required! All you need for this scarf is the Orbit yarn, the pattern included on the label, and a spare hour of your time! Is that an easy gift idea, or what?! |
Jeanne's Spectra Shawl | Jeanne makes us all feel like slackers. She finishes up a sweater, throws together a hat, some socks and is halfway through a shawl in the time it takes some of us to cast on. For this Spectra Shawl by Stephen West, Jeanne is using the same colorway of some self striping stash yarn. She wound two separate balls from opposite ends so the changes in colors move away from each other. While the yarn she is using is not available, she plans to make this shawl again with Kureyon Sock. She would also highly recommend Taiyo Sock, or Mini Mochi, or Poems Sock for this project. |
Autumn's Rustling Leaves Beret | As soon as Coastal Knits came in, we at the shop fell in love! Autumn grabbed a skein of Silky Wool and knit this hat up in no time. Gorgeous! |
Terry's Little Ravens Peruvian Style Earflap Hat | This hat is extremely cozy, fantastically warm, and exceptionally attractive to boot! The fair isle work creates incredible patterns and can be knit in 2 colors or 4 colors, whichever you choose. Terry's version is an adult large, perfect for the teenage boy it's intended for. Tiffany was the only one around the shop with a big enough head to model it! The pattern (available for purchase on Ravelry) can also be made in an adult medium or adult small size. Terry used Cascade's Baby Alpaca Chunky which is very warm and extremely soft! The finished project will make a great gift! |
Leanne's Bodega Scarf | Our ruffle expert Leanne is at it again! Her latest creation (that took her less than 2 hours!) is made with just one hank of the new Bodega yarn by Trendsetter! The colors in this scarf make beautiful ruffles that even non-ruffle lovers can appreciate. For tips on working with this type of yarn, check out Jeanne's recent blog post!
Thanks Leanne for bringing the ruffle-love and showing us how cute the Bodega looks knit up! |
