Life's a Stitch

Even after my recent Fleece Artist project fiasco, where my Garter Stitch Jacket reacted to blocking with steroid-like growth, it is my favourite yarn company. I have made their narrow fringed scarf and the Garter Stitch jacket, and am starting another Kid Silk multidirectional scarf. My stash includes their Triangle shawl kit. Most of their products appear to be sold in "kits," that is a hank or two of wool with a pattern printed on the yarn label. For hand painted, quality yarn in Canadian dollars, the price is still reasonable enough to use for other projects. The yarn they sell in hanks comes in large enough quantities to complete a project with very few knots and ends to weave. The colours are beautiful and the textures luxurious. My next Fleece Artist purchase will be their 2-ply cashmere for another Rippling Waters scarf. When can you have a 100% cashmere scarf for $33 CDN?

Another favourite is Manos del Uruguay. This is a photo of my daughter modelling her Manos multidirectional scarf (pattern link on sidebar).
