Searching for the perfect-for-you needle can sometimes feel like searching for the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe. Or the best parking spot at the grocery store on a Sunday afternoon. Not impossible, but daunting, nonetheless. Kind of like finding a needle in a haystack! Well, we may not be able to help you find the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe, or the primo parking spot at the grocery store, but... needles. We can definitely talk needles! Sharp or dull? Metal or wood? Head over to the blog, where we dive into how to find the perfect needle for Y-O-U!

Koigu... ONESIES!

Can you think of anything better than a huge shipment of Koigu? Hmm, us either... except... maybe... ONE-OF-A-KIND KOIGU! That's right, fiber friends, we just received a HUGE shipment of unique, one-of-a-kind Koigu KPPPM, and these beauties are calling your name! Snag a skein (or 10!) before these onesies are gone for good!

Fresh out of the oven from the Lorna's Laces kitchen - Tetramorph kits have arrived! The dyers over at Lorna's have come up with 4 color combos that are absolutely to dye for (pun intended!). Tetramorph, designed by Sarah B. Abram, utilizes slipped stitches to give the blanket a unique rippling effect. Using 8 colorways of Shepherd Worsted, each Tetramorph kit is jam-packed with coordinating colors that will knock your socks off! (PLUS, you'll get a Ravelry download code for the pattern!)

New Shibui!

You've found your perfect needles, now you need to find your perfect yarn! Shibui's fall stunners are here, and we're drooling. (Seriously. Knit bibs not included. You've been warned.) Shibui Echo is a silk noil and fine merino blend - perfect for lightweight garments and accessories! Soft to the touch, and with a hint of sheen, this yarn will create the flowy drape that your needles have been dreaming of!

Echoes of two new Shibui colors have been filling the halls at Jimmy Beans! Deep Water, a brilliant blue, and Dusk, a sophisticated slate are now available in all of your favorite Shibui bases! You'll be knittin' from dusk 'til dawn!

Inspired by the magical moment, right before the sun sets, when the light in the sky turns radiantly warm and changes hue, The Golden Hour by Andrea Mowry has been spreading like wildfire! Our friends at Koigu have created kits using 6 skeins of Chelsea that perfectly match the colors of Andrea Mowry's original creation! This pattern allows you to play with a variety of techniques - bobbles, eyelets, and mosaic knitting. Bring some warmth to your knitting with this head turner!
