Country Classic Yarn for Sox

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

This gorgeous yarn is spun from 80% Wool and 20% Nylon to make warm, comfy socks that are long-wearing. One 4 ounce/113g skein will make a pair of child’s sized socks, order two skeins for men’s or women’s sizes. Available in a wide variety of colors, Yarn for Sox knits up quickly on size 8 needles.

Be sure to take a look at the Country Classics Sox Patterns booklet, too. This versatile pattern includes a basic sock pattern in three sizes (child’s, men’s & women’s) and multiple variations to make your sock wardrobe even more interesting!

Through the end of September, SpinBlessing will include a FREE Sox Patterns booklet with each order of two or more skeins of Country Classic Yarn for Sox :-)

Christmas Stocking Kits, More KA products

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

Fall is just around the corner here in Oregon, and it has started me thinking about my Christmas knitting.
On my project list this year: new Christmas Stockings for the family..
As you can imagine, I was thrilled when the information on Christmas Classics came across my desk!

Christmas Classics Stocking kits are available in 18 designs, from Santa to Scandinavian. Each kit includes 100% wool yarn and complete instructions for knitting a gorgeous stocking.

Now I just need to decide if I want to start with the Children #102 or the Scandinavian Snowflake #301 :-)

More KA knitting products are being added to the website as well. Recent additions include: Bamboo Double Points in both 6 inch and 8 inch lengths, Split Stitch and Heart Shaped Stitch Markers, and Jumbo Bamboo Bent Tip Darning Needles. The 8 inch dpns are even available in a size 19!

I think I will need some of those cute KA heart shaped stitch markers for that Christmas Stocking project, too :-)

KA Bamboo Knitting Needles and Accessories

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

I am so excited about these KA circulars! The distributor sent me one to test out and it immediately became my favorite needle :-)

The finish really is silky smooth and the join couldn’t be better! I have had absolutely no catching on the join and the cord rotates freely, so there is no more fighting a twisted cord. AND they are available in those hard to find smaller sizes. Yay!

SpinBlessing is excited to offer these wonderful bamboo needles and will be adding the rest of the KA line over the next few days.
