October is full of exciting news here at Knit Picks HQ. We labored all summer long to bring to you, our favorite fiber fiends, brilliant new waves of Chroma, a new weight of Alpaca Cloud, and both new colors AND weights of Curio. There really is so much good stuff to explore, let’s dive right in! New Chroma Colors We’ve expanded our roster of color-transitioning superwash wool/nylon blend Chroma yarns in both fingering & worsted weights. That’s right! There are now 14 new mirrored gradients of color for you to explore. The only question is, which color will you use to make the Flight of Birds Shawlette? Decisions, decisions. New Yarn: Alpaca Cloud DK |
