Rowan Offer

Remember the Rowan offer ends at the end of this week

and the Manos offer finishes at midnight tonight!

New Arrivals

We have had a busy few days with several new arrivals.  

Some new styles have arrived for our Mafana Bag range, take a look at these beautiful bags for knitting or shopping… 

We also have the new Interweave Crochet Spring 2011 – I may even be tempted to attempt the gorgeous lace shawl using Manos Del Uruguay Lace. 

And the latest Studio from Rowan Number 23, with some funky summer patterns using Panama, Savannah, Lenpur Linen and Shimmer.  Keep an eye on the website for these to be uploaded….

The Ultimate Book of Baby Knits from Debbie Bliss has also arrived with Debbie’s inimitable style of fashionable and useful knits for Babies and Toddlers.

Manos del Uruguay Maxima has arrived

Yeah, the new Manos del Uruguay Maxima has arrived.  Another beautiful array of colours now lies on the table in the middle of our shop, just adding another sight for sore eyes as you enter!

Watch out for the patterns as they are on their way.

Arrivals

Hi, the Debbie Stoller Stitch Nation yarns have arrived…. and they are gorgeous.  I need to decide which one to take home and play with.

Next week could be exciting as we are expecting Debbie Bliss ‘ magazine number 5, and the Manos Del Uruguay Maxima too.

Maxima

Maxima is the new yarn from Manos del Uruguay, which we are eagerly waiting for not only because it looks scrummy on the shade card but also our very own Charlotte Walford has designed a beret and some fingerless mitts with it.  Maxima is 100% extrafine merino which has been kettle dyed in a range of gorgeously rich colours.  I can’t wait to see what shade #7164 Ultra Marine looks like in the flesh? skein? 

It knits as an aran on 5mm so will be ideal for a cosy cardy!  Or whatever fab pattern they have designed. Hopefully the mid- September delivery date will be sooner rather than later!  You can pre-order to be on the safe side!

Rowan Lace Workshop proves a great success!

 

Just a small selection from the luchtime buffet

Yet another successful Rowan Workshop at Stash Fine Yarns last Friday 16th April. Heike Gittins introduced the ten eager ladies to the wonders of producing beautiful fine pieces quite simply by using the finest quality yarns, in this case Rowan’s Kidsilk Haze knitted on some of the World’s best needles, Addi, Knit Pro and Signature. Hand made chocolate cookies went well with the tea/coffee for elevenses, followed by a freshly prepared buffet lunch at 1pm…ish.

Lesley brings in the much awaited Manos Del Uruguay Lace

Every one was very chatty, making new friends and sharing their passion with like minded people. A delivery of the brand new Manos Del Uruguay Lace and Manos Del Uruguay  Lace Patterns caused quite a stir, hardly giving us any chance to get this delicious yarn out of the box! It really is quite gorgeous, 12 shades made of 75% baby Alpaca , 20% Silk, 5% Cashmere with approx 439yds/400m per 50g skein. One skein will make a scarf – all for £11.95! Fantastic!

The afternoon was finished off with some more hot and cold drinks and iced donuts! Everyone had left by about 5pm, armed with their new knowledge and clutching their 10% discounted purchases, eager to get home and try out their new skills. Thanks go to Heike for sharing her skills with everyone. The next workshop, a ‘Tunisian Crochet’ workshop is scheduled at Stash on Friday 7th May.

Which Manos Lace pattern? They’re all just so gorgeous!
