The nights are getting cold, and the change of seasons is palpable.
Perfect time to get back into the knitting spirit. Start a sweater, or a lovely afghan to snuggle under. A cool breeze reminds us of hats, scarves, and mittens.
We have some great new yarns to inspire you.
Rowan Cocoon is a plump, lofty singles yarn with 80% merino, 20% kid mohair. Even if you think you don't like mohair, give this yarn a squeeze. Rowan uses the softest kid mohair I've ever felt.

Also new from Rowan, Colourscape Chunky is Kaffe Fasset's latest contribution. 100% lambswool, this singles yarn comes in a range of eye-catching colorway.

Scottish Tweed Aran is a great two-ply 100% wool, perfect for sturdy and warm sweaters.

Fairisle and stranded colorwork just got more exciting! Whether you have been knitting in pattern for years, or are just dipping your toe in, Natural Shetland Fingering is a great yarn.
