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.

 | Sirdar Snuggly Baby Bamboo
Sirdar Snuggly Baby Bamboo in my humble opinion is not a very good name for this gorgeous yarn. Babies love the soft feel and gentle lustre, but so do us grown-ups! It's a DK, spun from 80% bamboo and 20% wool making it perfect as a summery yarn to knit into tops and wraps, with the wool providing that bit of warmth on a chilly evening.

A new member of staff decided Bizarre was a good name for this yarn as he thought it was quite wacky. We think it's fairly wacky too, but not as unusual as some yarns that go into our variety bags or a yarn like Cosmic, but he hasn't been working in textiles very long, so we'll let him keep the name!!

 | 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.

 | Reflection Angoragold Batik with Metallic DK by Creative Yarns
Unfortunately the company who supply us with this yarn are no longer trading, so when it's gone, it's gone I'm afraid. We still have stocks of all the shades shown and we'll try and keep the website up to date as we sell out of shades.
This is a fantastic double knitting yarn with a light, soft, hairy feel spun from 10% mohair, 10% wool, 75% acrylic and 5% metallic. Fine mohair yarns are brilliant because although they knit as double knitting, they have the meterage of a much finer yarn (nearer a 3ply), so you only need a couple of balls for a garment! Reflection is a shaded yarn that gradually changes from one colour to another throughout you project, so you get a subtle and interesting effect without any effort. This metallic version has a fine twinkly thread running through it to add a bit of bling to your knitwear! Knit to the exclusive Creative Yarns designs or to any DK pattern, but check your tension first.

 | White Rose Mohair by Texere Yarns
This is a glorious, smooth and lustrous 98% mohair yarn (with just 2% nylon that's added when spinning) that has never left Yorkshire! The angora goats live on a farm less than 50 miles from Texere Yarns and live a happy life roaming around the farm getting shorn twice a year when their hair gets to about 150mm in length. (This is as free range and organic as it gets!) There are no air miles here, just a little journey round West Yorkshire as the fibre is scoured and carded in Halifax, spun in Bradford, dyed in Huddersfield, balled in Wakefield, then it's sold from our mill back here in Bradford! The yarn has a lovely handle - it's soft, strong, warm and nowhere near as hairy as traditional brushed mohair. Knit or crochet to most DK patterns, but just double check your tension first.
