New Yarns & Colors from S. Charles, MillaMia, Filatura & Tahki

This month, we have a wonderful new yarn company to introduce plus two new yarns from S. Charles to share with you, as well as lots of new colors in a few of your favorite existing lines. To begin with, two inspired sisters from Sweden are partnering to bring us the outstanding yarns and designs of MillaMia. Katarina and Helena Rosen combine a love of knitting with a love of modern contemporary design and quality. That's why, as they put it, "Our patterns are inspired by the latest fashion trends, our colours are adapted seasonally and our yarn is made from the finest quality Merino wool." They also value their Scandinavian design heritage, and you will see this influence in their projects.
We highly recommend their sensational, easy-care Naturally Soft Merino yarn with its wonderful stitch definition and tight twist. In addition, there is sensational support in Katarina's and Helena's 4 books and 9 pattern leaflets easily organized into our MillaMia Books & Patterns department. Click through the books in particular and start planning your next project for the young ones in your family. Which ones are your favorites? And just as a teaser for next month -- a little birdie tells us that the MillaMia dynamic duo are working on designs for adults too!
Then for those of us who love exquisite Ritratto yarn, we now have a spectacular yarn cousin to enjoy -- superb Adele. As a lovely addition to his "diva" collection, Stacy Charles has created "Adele" as a beautiful tone-on-tone version that's even dressier than its relative. When Stacy decided to add multi-colored sequins to the base strand, we knew he had a multi-seasonal gem for elegant, sophisticated fashions. Also he's continued his sensationally coordinated color palette so that "Adele" blends effortlessly with Celine, Crystal, Luna and Stella in addition to Ritratto. And we love the fantastic designs featuring "Adele" in S. Charles: Soiree - Fall/Winter 2012 like the Adele Amelie Capelet, the Adele Amelie Hat and the Adele Anais Cowl-Collar Vest.

Enjoy Sensational New Kits from Tahki Stacy Charles, Jil Eaton and MillaMia as Great Gift ideas Too
|
|
|
Kits are always great gifts to give and receive and we have some wonderful new ones to share with you just in time for the holidays. First off, we have three new kits from Tahki Stacy Charles to share with you. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these kits will be donated to The Heart Truth campaign of the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health. To begin, beautifully crafted from 1 hank of 100% mercerized "Classic Cotton Lite," the Angel Face Beret Kit is a great gift idea to use as a stocking stuffer (it's just the right size package!). Or knit up this gem for yourself. It's the ideal multi-seasonal choice too because you can enjoy wearing cotton year round. The kit requires a wave lace pattern accented by a twisted rib edging, and the directions clearly explain how to knit these stitches.

Stacy Charles hits another home run by helping you add glamour to any outfit with this simple but eye-catching Kathleen 1-Ball Slit Scarf Knitting Kit. Crafted of just 1 ball of shimmering "Crystal," this scarf is created by combining garter and rib stitches, and the straightforward instructions help you be successful. Also it works as a gorgeous stocking stuffer for your favorite knitter!
Also how many times have you thought about passing on your passion for knitting to your children, grandchildren or nieces & nephews? How often have you been asked by a friend or family member to teach her or him how to knit? Well, now children's knitwear designer Jil Eaton has partnered with Classic Elite to bring you a fabulous kit to help you answer these requests. The Learn-to-Knit Kit comes with great directions plus everything needed to knit Jil Eaton's pom pom scarf. And they've even casted the beginning stitches onto the knitting needles -- isn't that a clever idea?
And last but certainly not least, we have in stock and ready to ship to you your favorite MillaMia Christmas Stocking Kit. All three designs are great -- the Candy Cane, the Cable and the Nordic Star, and be sure to check out the various color options for several of the stockings too. For these kits, all you need to add are the knitting needles and you'll be ready to knit up a storm!
