Ohhhh, I am selling some gorgeous, soft, smooshy yarn! Right now I only have a little bit listed to see how it goes. I will also be adding some kits for sale as soon as I get everything together. I will have more listed soon!
All of these are hand dyed in a unique, one of a kind color. No two hanks will be exactly alike - once they are gone, they are GONE! I am not keeping my color 'recipes', because I love creating new, unique colors with each batch of yarn. How fun it is to throw some dye into the pot and see what happens!
A few more pictures of my luscious yarn. Right now I have some 100% merino wool and a 50/50 baby suri alpaca yarn. Both of these are lace weight yarns. So soft and scrumptious, I've loved knitting up samples and hate to see it go!
These are the new Tipping Points from Susan Bates, and the cool part is, you get three different tips for each needle size. There is a Sharp, Medium, and Blunt tip that you can change out depending on the yarn you are using, or whatever your preference is.
Pros:
Easy to change tips
Smooth join
Light weight
Cons:
Expensive
Too much 'stuff' to keep track of - all those tips, the rubber grip, and locking key
No organizer/carrying case available
A bit of a nuisance getting them in and out of the box they come in
Tips tend to come loose during use
You will shell out $24.99 to $29.99 for each needle, depending on what size you buy. Each needle comes with the three tips, a locking key, and rubber grip to loosen/tighten the tips. These ten inch needles come in a variety of colors, and are made of anodized aluminum. The locking key and rubber grip is to keep the tips from coming loose while in use, however, for me, I find they come loose regardless of how tightly I've screwed them on. I've tightened the tips with and without the rubber grip - no difference. It's no big deal to tighten them as I go; I don't know if it is just how I hold and use them, or if they tend to come loose as a general rule.
I like them ok, and think they make a good addition to any die-hard knitter's collection.
I've used these in a few of my recent stitch videos - Wavy Rib or Feather and Fan for example.
I have only seen these at Jo-Ann's, or you can buy online HERE. Keep an eye out for coupons to use at Jo-Ann's - I got mine at 25% off, so the cost wasn't too bad.
