Please Remain Calm(er)

The staff at Ivelise is so excited about the newest arrival in the store: Calmer from Rowan.  Calmer is a 75% cotton/25% acylic microfibre blend that sets the standard for all cotton yarns.  This yarn gives you the breathability and durability of cotton, while the microfibre adds the flexibility that is often missing.  And if that’s not enough, the colors are absolutely gorgeous.  Shown below are calm, coral, slosh, kiwi, freesia and cloud.

Calmer knits up at 21st/4″ on a US 8 needle.  Each skein has 175 yards. 

And of course, we have also stocked up on pattern support.  Check out Rowan’s Calmer Collection:

This book includes 15 patterns from well-renowned designer Kim Hargreaves:

For those of you familiar with Knitty.com, you’ll also find this Tempting II  that calls for Calmer.  You can also check out one of the 2959 projects currently featured on Ravelry.
