We may not be able to travel right now, but the Saltwater Collection might be the next best thing to strolling the windswept shores of Newfoundland. Christine LeGrow and Shirley A. Scott offer some of Newfoundland’s most beloved knitwear designs. They also reveal the cultural heritage of these distinctive patterns and demonstrate why they are highly valued by those who live on The Rock. Patterns are graded for difficulty and there is something for every knitter. Even those who just want to look at the beautiful photos.

Check out our new butterfly cowl kits! Made with two skeins of Urth Yarns, you can get three shawls from one kit! Christmas gifts, anyone?? Urth Yarns is a family-owned company specializing in hand-dyed natural yarns. Their yarns are dyed and prepared by women at their studios in Mersin and Istanbul, Turkey, and every skein of Urth Yarn purchased plants a tree in Africa through Urth Yarns’ partnership with TreesForTheFuture.org. Head on over to our website to order your butterfly shawl kit. Knock a few more Holiday gifts off your list, and plant a couple of trees while you’re at it.

Another wonderful fingering yarn to help you through these tough times. This is Opal Sock. It’s made from superwash wool and polyamid in a 75/25 blend, and comes in 100 gm. balls (420 meters). The colour range is simply amazing for this 4-ply yarn. Each ball makes a pair of socks, or a shawlette. Combine two balls to make a really colourful baby sweater or full shawl. We’re selling it at $19.99 a ball, and you’ll need to come to the store to see the full range of colours. Unfortunately, we simply can’t display all of the colours on our web site because the manufacturer in Germany continually brings out new colours.
