Many New Colors of Sea Silk & Hip Knits

What's new this week?

We just reached our 1000th product! Hard to believe that we have that many items isn't it?!!

We had a very large shipment of Sea Silk Yarn come in from Hand Maiden Yarns. Just so everyone knows, the price went up slightly and probably will have to be raised again as it will at every other store that sells this yarn. Our exchange rate is really getting worse!! It is amazing the difference from only six months ago. Plus there was a price increase in the yarn itself. Still it is so gorgeous and when you think that two skeins make you a gorgeous silk shawl for around 65.00 or so that really is not expensive for a hand knit luxury item.

Straw is a new color for us:



Stone is a beautiful "newer" color


And many many customer favorites like glacier, are back in stock!


We also are currently uploading a new shipment from HipKnits in the UK. There are new self striping sock yarns spun from blue faced leicester yarn, and a luxury sock yarn that is 50% alpaca and 50% blue faced. Here is one pretty luxury sock yarn.


And then wow, look at this colorway. I am tempted to grab this for my own stash! This is a 90% wool, 10% nylon sock yarn and it is gorgeous!!!




Next week you are going to see a gorgeous new shawl pattern release by Pam Covert. The yarn is Lanas Puras Melosa and there is a crochet version and knit version. These shawls are gorgeous beyond words!! The GGH yarn and BRAND NEW Rebecca magazines for fall arrived today but we need a bit of web work to get them up! And many more exciting items.

Just an update for all of you. I hope you check our "What's New" page routinely and also put us on your bloglines blogroll

New Knitters Group! New Yarns!

I just wanted to let everyone know that we have a new "Knitters Group". It is set up like any Knit-A-Long and we hope that many of you will participate. It is a place to show off the yarns and patterns and projects that you purchased through One Planet Yarn and Fiber. It is also a place to ask questions and get support. Many of the designers who work with us are members of the KAL as well. Please sign up! If you are interested in joining, send an email to Connie Chang who is our new Knitting Group Coordinator. You can reach her at Connie@oneplanetyarnandfiber.com.

We just posted some gorgeous new yarns! Heather from Sereknity sent a new shipment of her brand new Sock Options yarn. She has a new fiber that is gorgeous. It is spun from superwash merino and bamboo and it has a nice sheen to it plus it is strong and machine washable. Heathers colors are so pretty. Here are two of our favorites All Hallows and Blue Hawaii.




We also received the most incredible shipment of yarn from Wooldancer in Australia. This yarn is hand selected pure Australian merino. This merino is processed without chemicals. Michelle, who is the fiber artist that owns Wooldancer is a talented artist. These skeins of yarns are so gorgeous, they look like watercolor paintings to me! I think they would make an incredible shawl or scarf in addition to beautiful socks. Here are two of our most favorite colors, Fairy Dust and Sacred Space.





Coming soon......a huge shipment from Hand Maiden yarns with many new colors of Sea Silk. We have trouble keeping Sea Silk yarn in stock for very long and the price is going up with this new shipment. Right now, all the skeins left of Sea Silk are still at the older price so if you want to take advantage, now is the time. We also have many new skeins of Lanas Puras melosa including new colors that will be going up this weekend and new patterns will be releasing next week! Please sign up for the One Planet Knitters Group and put the KAL on your bloglines list as well! Thanks for reading........
