New Yarn

This lovely yarn was New in Stock last week...and I thought I had done a post on its arrival, but, no-oo-o. So, here you go, new to GBOW, Noro Taiyo yarns. Gorgeous colour.

New In Stock

That yummy yarn you've seen in the last few photos is a stack of Stampato 100% Australian Merino superwash wool.  Dk and Worsted weight, Tweedy look.  Lovely soft yarn and new in stock.

That's Claire's Chunky Galway sweater in the background - coming on nicely.

New In Stock

Oh, yummy!

Malabrigo Volcan (on back order a lo-o-og time)

Malabrigo Bobby Blue (also on back order for very long time)

Araucania - hand dyed from Chile.  Interesting. It is 100% Sugar Cane Viscose, and feels soft and drapey.

Fortissima Socka and Grundl Hot Socks.

Needle Felting Kits

These incredibly cute critters are made by needle felting. Never tried that? We have kits that are brand new in stock. Everything you need plus the instructions to make adorable little animals.  10 different ones to chose from. Or don't choose and make them all. Needle felting can be done by children (under supervision of course)....a great project for starting gift making.

New - "Tom & Ethel" Sock Pattern

 New in stock - Nigel's Tom & Ethel  sock patterns with his great toe and fantastic re-invention of the heel - (credit to Gina for the phrase).
Just to be clear...there are two socks for the Tom pattern, and two for the Ethel...maybe I am the only person who thought at first that this pair of socks was the two you see in the photo--one with an orange heel and one with a cream heel. Duh. 
Tom and Ethel were Nigel's parents. 

New In Stock - Chunky Marble

We've been waiting a long time for these colours of Chunky Marble--browns, greys and multi-coloured.  If they're what you're looking for, grab them now! They will go fast.
