Manta Wrap Rare Yarns Knit Kit

We want you to be cozy and crafty now the chilly Autumnal weather has arrived so we’re dropping the price of our range of Rare Yarns (Essential 8ply and Endare 4ply) from $13 down to $10 a ball. Rare Yarns are a beautifully soft mix of merino and alpaca in a range of colors inspired directly by nature.

Rare Yarns comes from the simple idea that people are passionate about yarns that are beautiful, out of the ordinary and lovely to touch.

The Rare Yarns Company use the finest natural fibers and colors of alpaca, llamas, sheep, camel and goats from New Zealand, Tibet, Peru and many other places to create beautiful natural yarns.

Our commitment is to preserve the diversity of rare breeds, rare colors and rare yarns.

We support farming and breeding practices that are environmentally responsible, humane and contribute and contribute to the sustainable futures of indigenous peoples and their lands.

We are pleased to share with you some additional yarn colors in our Heirloom range for 2013. In the Merino Magic range we offer a peacock blue, a bright pillar box red, a terra-cotta orange, a medium eau de nil green, and a slate grey. In the Colorworks range the new shades are a soft grey, and the perfect shade of orange! Come and stock up on these fabulous new colors!

If you were in one of my 2012 crochet classes, you may have heard just how much I love my Clover Amour crochet hooks, now at last they are available outside of Japan and we have some in stock. The Amour hooks are the most comfortable crochet hooks you’ll find. They feature a soft, color-coded silicone handle that include a flat thumb rest for a comfortable grip. As with all Clover products, the manufacturing quality is outstanding and the hook glides smoothly as you work – never catching on the yarn or splitting the ply. I guarantee you’ll love crocheting with these hooks – and they’re so colorful!
