Every so often, we get word that one yarn company or another has developed new colors, broadening their spectrum and filling in gaps. When the word came recently from the Fibre Company, we put in our order right away for new colors in Road to China Lace and Knightsbridge.<\/p>\n

Road to China Lace<\/a> is a relatively new Fibre Company yarn for us, a\u00a02 ply\u00a0lace weight\u00a0blend of 65% baby alpaca, 15% silk, 10% camel, and 10% cashmere. Each 100 gram skein boasts 656 yards, enough for a good sized shawl. These four bright new shades bring a certain whimsy to the Road to China Lace color palette.<\/p>\n

Knightsbridge<\/a> is a soft and fuzzy blend of llama, merino, and silk, a light worsted weight yarn that knits up comfortably between 5 and 5.5 stitches per inch.<\/p>\n

Knightsbridge also got four new colors, but they’re more muted and rustic, in keeping with the existing selection.<\/p>\n
