Week of Dec 11th-2006-What's New!!

Many new items are being added this week so please keep checking back! If you click on the What's New section in the top navigation bar of the site, most new items are shown there for a period of time.

We have quite a few new Yarn Botanika Traveler Sock Kits and sock yarns. These are always very popular. The Traveler kits make great gifts for another person or for yourself! They include a sock bag, yarn, double pointed needles and a pattern. This one turned out beautifully.........



Handwoven shawls and bags from India are here under the area in the store called Unique Finished Items by Monsoon Winds. These are absolutely gorgeous. Every one of these items is handdyed by artisans in India. The bags work great as small sock or knitting project bags.... The shawls are wonderful wrapped around your shoulders on a cool evening. Look at this adorable hand quilted bag.


Two more Black Pearl Yarn patterns are being released this week. One by Ivete Tecedor and another by Melissa Wehrle. Please keep your eye on the Black Pearl Yarns blog in the next few days.

We had a huge shipment of yarn from South America of Lanas Puras yarns and we will be unpacking these and listing them in the store over the next week or so. In addition to more lace weight and fingering colorways, we received a shipment of worsted weight yarns. Watch in January for patterns to be released in this yarn. We have some really neat kids sweaters coming by Wendy Bernard of Knit and Tonic and also Melissa Wehrle as well as some felted items and other patterns. We love this yarn and so do you from what we are hearing!


We also will be adding quite a few lace and sock patterns from Heartstrings that work well with Lanas Puras Lace weight and fingering weight yarns as well with many of the other yarns in our store. These patterns will all be available in download form which is very convenient!

Thanks for looking!

Yarn Pirate Yarns are Here!

The wonderful Yarn Pirate yarns have arrived and are being added to the store this morning.

They are gorgeous!! And they are very different from the other Indie yarn artists we have in our shop, so that is great! It really is amazing how each fiber artist really has their own unique style.

Yarn Pirate uses a different superwash merino. It is a bit thinner than some of the other fingering weights and has a gorgeous tight twist to the plies. Her colorways are very bright but in a beautiful way-the colors really go great together.

Here are two of my favorites: Panema, because I am a total blue green lover and Punkinhead (WOW!)! You can see all the other colors in her store section of One Planet Yarn and Fibers here!

Two New Black Pearl Yarns Patterns

We have two more Black Pearl Yarn patterns. These are great gifts for knitters since both patterns use only one or two skeins of cashmere yarn.

"Feeling a spring in your step and a verse bubbling up? Knit up Haiku Flower socks...and surround your tootsies in lacy cashmere comfort!"

Introducing the Haiku Flower Sock Pattern. This pattern uses only one skein of Black Pearl Yarns 100% cashmere.
This pattern was designed by Gina House, and we are proud to announce that this is first professional pattern! She has several patterns coming out in 2007 using Yarn Botanika merino and tencel and sock yarns! We can't wait to see them.....:) Make sure to check out Gina's blog and her new podcast.
Available at One Planet Yarn and Fiber in either a hard copy or download version.


The socks are shown in the colorways blue topaz and jasmine pearl but of course any colorway would be gorgeous!!

The second pattern released and available today at One Planet is the absolutely gorgeous Milanese Lace Glove pattern by Sara Lucas. Please make sure to check out Sara's Yarn of the Month Club. We are members and it is so much fun to get the yarn samples and pattern each month. We really look forward to getting it!

"Cold hands, warm heart? How about a cozy cashmere treat to warm both?! Elegant and sassy, these lace gloves enable your hands to stay warm while typing, writing, or even knitting. Includes instructions for two lengths in tipless versions for both gloves and mittens."

The pattern uses only one skein of Black Pearl yarns cashmere for the short version and one or two for the long version depending on your hand size. They are shown in Chai Tea and Jasmine Pearl, but would be beautiful in any colorway.


Available at One Planet Yarn and Fiber in either a hard copy or download version.
