More New Things!

We have a gorgeous new pattern called the Garland Shell, which was designed by Connie Chang Chinchio. You might have noticed Connie's beautiful patterns, just released in Interweave Knits Spring issue. Connie is so talented and we are so lucky to have her working with us. She also helps out with our Ravelry group. The Garland Shell is knit in Black Pearl Yarns DK weight cashmere in Red Dragon. There is also a complete knit kit available.

We have a new shipment of Marion's Hand Dyed Sock Yarn from Germany. These are very pretty yarns, and we have done very well with them over the past year. If you love sock yarn and bright spring / summer colors, take a look at these. There are now two different fibers, 100% merino and a merino/nylon blend.

We are really excited to introduce a brand new company to One Planet. Cottage Fiber is a very unique fiber studio located in Kansas City. The fiber artist, PJ, is extremely creative and talented. We are carrying their incredible technospindles which are a must try for spindle lovers. CD spindles have been around a long time, but these are just incredibly unique!

We also carry their hand painted Feet First Yarn, a beautiful line of all natural hand painted fingering weight yarns.

Our own One Planet Luxury All Natural Knitting Hand Cream, was such a huge success that we have added two more fragrances. This luxurious paraben-free cream is now available in Grace, Essence of Lavender, Lemon Sugar and Roasted Hazelnut and Vanilla!

Make sure to keep checking our "on sale" section. We are revamping all the Lanas Puras colors and will be putting quite a few of the yarn at 20% off. We chose for the future 15 semisolid colors and 17 variegated colors that we will be using for the long term and for our wholesale sales. So, the discontinued colors, many of which are gorgeous, will be marked down. We are also discontinuing some other yarns for various reasons and they will be placed also in the sale section. So keep watching there!

Fleece Artist Fiber, Farmhouse Yarns, Be Sweet, More

We wanted to tell you about some of the items we have just added to the site. Many colorful and beautiful new things for yarn and fiber lovers! Also see below for a brief description of what is coming soon to One Planet Yarn and Fiber.

We just added tons of gorgeous spinning fiber from Fleece Artist-we have new very large 250 gram (8.2 ounce) balls of hand painted BFL and merino silk. Also the 50 gram braids that we have been carrying for awhile and sell pretty quickly. There are many beautiful colors, here is just a few.

We have many new patterns from Be Sweet Yarns, both for the gorgeous magic balls as well as for their bamboo yarns. We will be adding more kits as well as the incredible Be Sweet knitting bags in the next week and in the next month we will be adding more magic balls as well as their new organic cotton/bamboo blend. This is an incredible yarn for spring and summer!

We added some absolutely beautiful and funky knitting bags from Two Stix. These are each hand made from recycled sweaters-each bag is one of a kind. We also have the Two Stix needle holders.

Are you familiar with Farmhouse Yarns? What a cool company. The yarn is all natural fibers and simply gorgeous-all hand painted and one of a kind skeins. The yarns are all from local sheep! We added the Fannie's Fingering weight yarn and we will be soon adding some of their hand painted cotton/spring yarns and lots of patterns. Make sure to take a look at the beautiful hand painted colors.















Coming soon.......

An incredible new line of sock yarn called "Feet First" from a really cool indie company based in Missouri. They also have a unique line of fun and hip spindles called technospindles. We can't wait for you to see them! We have a new shipment of lovely sock yarn from Marion's Sock Yarns yarns from Germany. We will be adding another really unique company from Wales, called Fyberspates, and introducing her luxury hand painted yarns, fibers and knit kits. Also watch for yarns and patterns from Kaalund Yarns and Peartree Yarns, both from Australia. We have beautiful patterns coming from several new Indie designers. Many are willing to share their pdfs with us, which is wonderful for all of you, especially our international customers.
