Autumn brings lots of changes.  The weather is cooler, there is a hint of color on the trees, and it’s time to think about new knitting projects.  To keep up with the cooler weather, Ivelise is introducing three new yarns for your knitting pleasure.

First, there is Donegal Chunky Tweed by Debbie Bliss.   Use this lovely yarn to make hats, mittens, scarves and sweathers to keep you and your loved ones warm.

Check out the new Debbie Bliss magazine with jacket patterns that are perfect with this yarn.

If you’re looking for a tweed yarn with a little less bulk, we also have Andean Tweed by Reynolds.  Come in and see our sample Tabard Vest made with this beautiful yarn.

Another favorite just added is Como by Debbie Bliss.  This is a merino/cashmere blend that knits up on size 15 needles.  We also carry the Como pattern book with 16 patterns, several of which will knit up in just a few days.

In other news, did you know that your favorite Addi Turbo needles will soon be available in an interchangeble set?  The new Clicks set will have tips in sizes 4 - 15, and cables in 24″, 32″ and 40″, and will retail for $149.95.  This means you can basically get over 300 needle combinations for a fraction of the cost of buying individually.  Pre-orders are being taken now.  Don’t wait long…these are the hottest new item to hit the knitting world in quite some time.
