Timeless Tweed

November 29th, 2008 by admin

luxury-tweed-alex-jacket-080110-140042There is nothing more timeless or stylish than tweed.  Tweeds have been the favorite of English kings and Irish nobility.  Durable and moisture resitant, tweed was most often used for warm outerwear.  However, the new tweeds are softer and are wonderful for indoor sweaters, as well.

We are currently carrying a variety of weights and colors, in addition to several pattern books from perennial favorites Debbie Bliss and Jo Sharp.

Bring the past into your life with a lovely tweed sweater or vest.

High style that’s quick and easy

November 21st, 2008 by admin

 

You’ve seen those cute little sweaters knit in bulky yarns in all the stores and thought to yourself:  “I can knit one of those in no time, if I only had a pattern.”  Now you can!  Ivelise is excited to introduce French Girl patterns.  We have 3 sweater and one hat pattern that all call for Rowan Big Wool, which we also stock in several fashionable colors.  Knit on US 17 needles, you will be high stylin’ in no time.
