Introducing the Brioche Kit

How exciting!! We are celebrating our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!! Did you get our Holiday Sales Newsletter? If you missed it, drop us a note at info@oneplanetyarnandfiber.com and I will send it along to you! It tells about all of our special celebration savings and new products.

We are super super excited to introduce a new sweater kit called BRIOCHE. Brioche was designed by our good friend and talented designer, Wendy Bernard of Knit and Tonic. Wendy's patterns are always so special and we have tried to make it easier for you to knit Brioche by offering a special kit as well as suggesting some alternative yarns for those who may not want cashmere. We have a special discount for you on the alternatives too. Just buy the BRIOCHE KIT if you want the pattern as shown, in Black Pearl Yarns DK cashmere in black onyx, or use the discount code BRIOCHE for one of the recommended substitute yarns. These are Artesano of England's fine Inca Cloud or Inca mist alpaca yarn, Jo Sharp Alpaca Kid Lustre, Silkroad DK Tweed or Alpaca Silk Georgette ,GGH Cumba yarn (merino and alpaca) or Sheep Shop Yarn Company's Sheep Three Merino and Silk.




We are also in the process of a new "KIT" section to the site. There will be some redundancy but for people who love kits, we wanted to put them all in one place, organized by the type of garment, so watch for that soon. We have started listing all of our own patterns and some others in kit form to provide a savings to you for buying a bundle of yarn along with the pattern.

Other new things coming soon? We have some gorgeous (and I mean gorgeous) handspun yarn from Felt Studio in England that we will be putting on the site this week. We are anticipating a new order from Yarn Pirate soon. We'll announce the date here. And we have two other brand new Indie companies which are incredible and we'll keep those a secret for right now!!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! And if you do not get the holiday sales flyer, make sure to let us know so you can see it!!

Flair - Lanas Puras Melosa a recommended yarn!

Have all of you seen Wendy Bernards new "Flair" pattern up at her blog? http://knitandtonic.typepad.com/knitandtonic/

Is that too cute for words or what?? NOTE that she mentions Lanas Puras Melosa as a substitute yarn!! I think we are going to actually order that yarn in chocolate brown in honor of this new pattern and call it Flair!! We are about to order some new solids anyhow, including eggplant, a pale pink and a pale blue. Plus we are getting a series of new colorways that we are designing ourselves.... A nice semi-solid chocolate might work great for that pattern too. Flair in eggplant? Fabulous....

Congrats on another winner pattern Wendy....!
Wendy is amazing. Isn't she a talented designer? She is a nice person too. What more can you ask for? Can you imagine what her book is going to be like??

We have so many yarns and things to post over the next week, keep your eyes peeled on the site........I'll show photos as we go along. We have lots of new spindles including new stone spindles and a new design in gorgeous glass. Wooldancer yarns from Australia are here and they are some of the most amazing sock yarns I have seen. Michele uses 100% pure Australian merino wool and you can just feel the quality. More aboutt his soon. We have a whole new load of Sheep Shop Yarns (including samples of the new Sheep 3 coming soon (merino and silk-yum yum) and some new patterns they are releasing soon. We ordered every single color since were are now the only online only shop to carry Sheep Shop yarns. Our new Lanas Puras Clarissa is here, and next week we will be introducing a new Yarn Botanika yarn line..... There are also at least two new patterns coming out in Februrary, maybe three!

Happy Weekend.....!
