About a year ago I discovered a wonderful yarn from Ironstone yarn Co. called Harmony. It is a bulky yarn with a gauge of about 3sts = 1″ for garments. It is 100% wool done in a twist that reminds me of the old Lopi yarn of years ago… Harmony is soft and wonderful to work with. It felts like a dream.The colors are limited but they are wonderful..Harmony is great for jackets, sweaters,extra warm boot-socks, baskets and bowls…I am getting a head start on easter baskets with these beautiful colors. This yarn felts so well, even the cream/white felts ..try some felted bowls they are fun…..
What knitter, new or old, doesn’t want another reason to knit at least once a month? Between Stitches announces a different kind of sock club for you. You won’t be limited to knitting the same type of yarn; the Between Stitches Sock Club offers yarns of different weights and fibers! For example, superwash, merino, camel or cashmere in fingering to worsted weight hand dyed yarns!
Every other month you will receive a unique pattern and yarn, hand dyed just for us and not yet released to the public! Take a look at some of our past offerings:

These hand dyed yarns are only available to sock club members. Each distinctive skein is accompanied by a sock pattern designed especially to enhance the unique details of the yarn! As well, the patterns explore varied construction techniques with either double pointed or circular needles (not included).
