Early May: special and limited edition Natural Dye Studio laceyarn with free patterns!
Natural Dye Studio made a special laceyarn in honour of the 65-year diamond jubilee of Queen Elisabeth III. The 150 gramm skein with 600 meter yarn is a mixture off 75% Bluefaced Leicester for softness, 20% zijde for strenght and glow and 5% stellina for the subtle diamond sparkle. The color is light natural/grey with just a tiny hint of lilac. The skeins are handdyed per 5 and no one is excactly like the other. We think they all are very subtle and beautiful. With your purchase you will receive a printed pattern in English for the knitted as wel as the crocheted queenshawl.
May: Austermann 4-ply Step Exotik and Holiday ánd new colours Sock-Stop
Austermann yarns always are supersoft because of the impregnated jojoba-oil and aloë vera. Step Exotik shows very subtle colorplay in the yarn and Step Holiday is fresh and fruity with different shades of the same color. Both collections are very yammie!
Some new, funky colors like purple and orange are coming as an addition to the existing ones of the latex
