well this yarn has been such a hit around here, that we ordered some others like it by the same company (Katia). These new yarns are so, so awesome and different, I think you will like them just as much if not more! All of these fun, new yarns I'm about to share take only one ball to make a scarf! That is a beautiful thing :) The first one is called Ronda. It is an acrylic ribbon that has little rectangle boxes on the top of it. When you knit using just those little boxes, it gathers and makes a pretty ruffley scarf like this...
So cute! I made this in one evening, sitting in front of my fireplace while watching "A Christmas Carol". I was so happy how it knitted up and how speedy it was, so I'm making a few for gifts! Even me with my busy schedule can fit this project in!
The next new one is called "Ondas". It's a "mesh like" ribbon yarn, and when you knit into it poking along the top of the mesh, it ruffles up like this...
Also very cute! Diane made this in, yes, one evening!! The Ondas has many color choices, and some of them have sparkles in them. Anything shiny or glittery always attracts me, like a raccoon. This is very simple to knit, a beginner can do it! The end result make you look like a genius!
Next up is another called "Park Avenue". This yarn is a fluffy soft knitted mesh that you knit by poking into one of the edges. The end result is stunning, and very fashionable I must say!
Of course, it only takes 1 ball to make! You are only working with 3 stitches on your needle! Super fast, instant gratification ;) There are 8 colors to choose from! I have been wearing this one around the shop for 2 days. It's been a bit chilly in here! Not only is it fashionable, it is also very warm.
Those are our new scarf yarns! I hope you love them as much as we do. You still have time to make everyone on your list something special. We have many quick gift project ideas that will give you much bang for your buck!
Along with all those fun scarf yarns, we also got in some other pretties this week! For all you Noro lovers out there...we have new colors of Kureyon! Kureyon is 100% Wool that self stripes in many bright, stunning colors....
Ooooh nice full bin of yarn! This yarn is great for just about anything. It even felts up beautifully! Joan knitted a really cute hat out of one ball. I wish I has a pic, its not quite done yet. The pattern will be a free with purchase.
There is also a new yarn by Debbie Bliss. It's called "Party Angel". It is just like regular "Angel", a silk & Mohair blend laceweight.....but now with sparkles! Yup, gotta love those sparkles! I made a pattern by Churchmouse Yarns & Teas called "Mohair Bias Loop" that everyone has just gone crazy over!

I must make another....with sparkles!!!
Yesterday we got in a new yarn by Joseph Galler called "Asana". Its a bulky weight half alpaca, half peruvian wool. The fibers are plyed together into a super soft yummy to-die-for yarn! It kinda has a hand spun look to it, sort of thick and thin to make a very nice texture. The price is very good too for such a fab yarn! Only 11.99 per ball, with 140 yards per skien! I think this would make a really cozy scarf and/or hat!
That's about it for this week knitting pals! Always more to come :)

So cool. I live in the Monterey Bay area. I was looking up your store hours, because I need to buy some yarn for mittens ;) :) You have a blog...that's awesome :) :) Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather :)
I'm in California, but more closer to San Francisco.
It's too bad for me, because I love that Katia yarn. I looked it up on Joann Fabrics website and they don't have it.
:(
