Nashua Handknits announces two new yarns for Spring 2009:
Creative FocusTM Silk: We are very excited about our 100% bourette silk in a bright palette of fifteen shades. Creative FocusTM Silk knits at 5 sts to the inch with each 50 gram ball containing 120 yards. This yarn has a wonderful hand and shows textures beautifully! A medium sized short sleeve stockinette stitch garment uses approximately 7 to 8 skeins. Creative FocusTM Silk has its own dedicated pattern book with 8 designs for women.Our new web site gives all the necessary details on each design in the book (color used, number of skeins required, finished bust measurements) to plan your next project.
Daylily: With two tonally spaced-dyed strands, one matte and the other shiny, twisted together, Daylily glows with color and knits up at 4 sts to the inch. Perfect for easy, quick to knit garments, a medium sized short sleeve stockinette stitch garment uses approximately 9 to 10 skeins. Daylily has a dedicated pattern booklet containing 10 designs for women.
Here are two quick and easy doll sweaters (to fit an 18” doll) knit in our new spring yarns.
