Alpaca Soft DK Shade 229 Vermillion

Update December 2025

The special offer on the Rowan Alpaca Sparkle will remain for a little longer.

September and October are always exciting as so many new yarns are launched. Rowan have launched Alpaca Sparkle which is a beautiful yarn with added sequins – just right for the christmas season! Sirdar have added to the Snuggly range with Snuggly Chunky which is sure to be popular for children’s designs. Also a new addition is Sirdar Soft Down which is a light , slightly fluffy DK yarn with long meterage.

We are extending the range of WYS Signature 4 ply stocked in the plain colours. They blend beautifully with the Country Birds range.

A great new knitting pattern book has arrived for fans of Shaun the Sheep called Baa-rilliant Knits! by Sachiyo Ishii.

Exciting news for sock lovers – Viridian have added a new shade ‘Sweet Pea’ to their own range from Opal. These shades are normally available to reorder. Also great for the cutest little baby cardigans. 

New arrivals this month include two baby yarns from King Cole – Little Treasures DK and Cutie Pie. Opal launches Showbiz and Funny Fruit.

Rowan Magazine 74 is here! Featuring a new yarn Fine Tweed Haze and lots of new designs using the classic yarn Felted Tweed. My favourite, thou, has to be the new Kidsilk  Haze Accessories book.
