 | Summer Stripes by Sirdar
Summer Stripes is a gorgeous new double knitting yarn by Sirdar, which is a stripy version of Calico. It has the same lovely blend of 60% cotton and 40% acrylic creating a soft, muted yarn, perfect for spring and summer hand knits. Rather than being space-dyed, Summer Stripes is a shaded yarn creating big blocks of colours, with random patterning meaning each piece you knit will be unique. The colourways compliment the Calico range perfectly, so you could mix and match the collections to knit any of the Summer Stripes or Calico designs for contemporary and flattering pieces. |
|  | Eco Baby Cotton Yarn by Debbie Bliss
Debbie Bliss began her Fairtrade Collection with Eco aran and here is the new arrival to the range - Eco Baby. The cotton yarn is a heavy 4ply/light DK (the same as her famous baby cashmerino). It has been manufactured from 100% organic cotton with an ecologically and socially conscious process through the Bio Re textile chain. The cotton yarn is dyed with non toxic, non carcinogenic dyes and the water is recycled and rendered drinkable by Idra (a non profit making organization). This dyeing process has given Debbie the opportunity to have a wonderfully vibrant palette still within the organic concept. Organic cotton yarns are notoriously difficult to produce, so it's brilliant to have a bright, colourful yarn with such ethical credentials. |
|  | Aimee by Louisa Harding.
**Unfortunately this yarn has now been discontinued - please contact us if you require stock details.**
Aimee is a gorgeous yarn created by Louisa Harding in a luxurious blend of 90% cotton and 10% cashmere. The combination has been spun into a DK (approx) yarn that is soft, fine and delicate with a light twist. The colours echo the rich and lacquered shades of pink and red combined with jade and charcoal, alongside faded and antiqued coral, bronze and opal. Louisa has created a fabulous collection of designs using Aimee, and its sister yarn Fleuris, called Chinoiserie. The designs are super-stylish with an oriental twist taking inspiration from motifs and shapes seen throughout the Far East. Knit a tension square first if you'd like to knit this yarn to other double knitting patterns. |

Crofter is a beautifully soft, standard Chunky yarn and the Fairisle appears before your eyes as you knit so you get a multi-coloured effect without the hard work! It comes in lovely, subtle, heathery shades with all the pinks, lilacs and greens found in the Scottish hills and glens. This thicker, but light yarn will knit up even quicker into fabulous garments and accessories for all members of the family. |
|  | Eco Aran Cotton by Debbie Bliss
Debbie Bliss has begun her Eco Fairtrade Collection with an aran cotton. It has been manufactured from organic cotton with an ecologically and socially conscious process through the Bio Re textile chain. The yarn is dyed with non toxic dyes in recyclable water which has given Debbie the opportunity to have a wonderfully vibrant palette still within the organic concept. Organic cotton yarns are notoriously difficult to produce, so it's brilliant to have a bright, colourful yarn with such ethical credentials. Now that Eco Baby has arrived, this original Eco has been re-named Eco Aran, so ballbands maybe different, but the yarn is the same! |
