Another exciting new yarn has arrived to entice us: meet Dovestone Natural Chunky!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dovestone Natural Chunky is the latest from Baa Ram Ewe, a small yarn company out of Yorkshire. Their noble aim is to revitalize the textile industry in their region by sourcing and spinning their yarns entirely in the UK.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dovestone Natural Chunky is made of the same good stuff as\u00a0Dovestone DK<\/a>\u00a0and Dovestone Natural Aran<\/a>: 50% bluefaced leicester, 25% masham, and 25% wensleydale wools, spun into a soft and fuzzy single ply. It\u2019s delightfully wooly, quick to knit at a suggested gauge of 3.5 stitches per inch, and comes in 5 undyed colors, the natural shades of the sheep.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There’s a beautiful new book to go with it, too – Learn to Knit at Home<\/em>, by Alison Moreton.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Aimed at new knitters, it covers the basic stitches and techniques, then offers a variety of beginner-friendly patterns for accessories, home goods, and even a few garments, all knit with Dovestone Natural Aran and Chunky.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Learn to Knit at Home<\/em> is a reminder of how very beautiful simple knits and purls can be. It would make such an excellent gift for an aspiring knitter, along with a few balls of Dovestone yarn to work with!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Come by the shop to see what’s new from Baa Ram Ewe, and to peruse their other yarns, as well. See you there!<\/p>\n
