New Arrival: Cortina Nuvole

2011-09-21_CortinaNuvole

Skacel Collection: Cortina Nuvole
• 70% Merino Wool - 30% Nylon
• 55 yards per 50 gram ball
• 12 mm (approx. US 17) needles
• Approx. 2.5 sts per inch

Cortina Nuvole is mottled in color. Just like Cortina, it is created with an air-infused nylon core that is encased within fine Merino Wool, making it unimaginably lightweight while still having that great wool feeling. But with Cortina Nuvole the infused core is undyed while the merino surrounding it is colored. The voluminosity of the yarn allows you to knit complex stitch patterns quickly at 2 ½ stitches per inch, without adding extra weight to your garment.

New arrivals at YBD

2011-09-13_Techno

Techno by Blue Sky Alpacas:
68% baby alpaca / 10% extra fine merino / 22% silk
We are excited to announce the arrival of the long awaited Techno. A modern take on 1970’s neon and natural, the line includes seven groovy pop colors perfectly balanced with six granola-lover neutrals. Modern technology makes Techno a feather-weight genius: baby alpaca is blown into a mesh tube of silk for really fast knitting with literally no splitting.

This candy shop of color tempts with an array of sweet treats ranging from rich and creamy neutrals to scrumptious saturated hues. The palette is created with low impact dyes, and a funky twist gives our 100% certified organic cotton a light and lofty hand.
