Some Booties to Cherish

Posted by | Mar 24, 2014 | | 0

These booties are quick & easy to make with our newest alpaca wonder: Baby Alpaca Cherish, which is a DK weight 50-50 Blend of Alpaca and Acrylic..that way it has the warmth and softness of Baby Alpaca, plus the durability of acrylic.  GREAT IDEA and it comes in stunning colors too!  I am loving this yarn….made a hat & booties from ONE ball.  I hope you like my pattern, which was told to me by a dear friend named “JJ”, and I am calling them “Dutch” Booties after her.  Thanks JJ.     ”DUTCH” BABY BOOTIES by Heidi Sunday...

Plymouth has some great yarns for...

Wearing something from a couple decades past, even though it isn’t particularly something bought at a vintage store, is super cool and chic. “What’s old is new” seems to be the motto! Hand knitters can really take advantage of this theme. Purposely adding patches or embroidery to a sweater, hat, afghan or even sock can make your well loved items refreshed. Foxy Patches and Native American neckline and  Take a look at these clouds For this month, I’ve designed a patched-up guernsey-esque pullover in lovely Grignasco Loden.

Neon NOW!!!!!

From the Desk of Cia Abbott Bullemer Spring is Springing! And after our trip across the country to participate in the Spring Show of The National Needle Arts event, we here at Plymouth Yarn are PUMPED! We had a tremendous response for our neon colors in Encore Worsted and our new sock yarn called Neon Now! After returning from Italy in July on a Yarn Sourcing trip, we witnessed the same about trends. Neon is still wildly out there!  It is hot, it is now, and it is available! Here are a few examples of neon for color combos.  I love the one below with the black and grey-see how it makes the orange pop but yet not read completely neon? LOVE THAT! And then putting orange and fuchsia together? Who’d have thought that worked. But it does! Tell us what you do with...
