New Yarns in the shop this week

This week has been fun. We have just received our newest shipment from Cascade. We now have Cascade 220 Superwash and Greenland in the shop.

Cascade Superwash is exactly like regular 220 but it is washable and comes in balls not hanks. Acutally I think it is softer than regular 220. It is a worsted weight 18-20 sts. = 4", the cost is $10.00 per ball and yes it has 220 yards per ball just like regular Cascade You can see the picture to the left here. It is so lovely!

The other new yarn that has arrived is Cascades Greenland. Greenland is 100% Merino spun nicely for little pilling. The gauge is 16 sts. =4" or 4 sts per inch. A heavy worsted washable yarn that boasts 137 yards per 100g ball at a cost of $12.00 per ball, not bad for pure merino. You can see this yarn on the left. I will get these up on the web site hopefully this weekend or early next week.

Next week we are planning to receive in Blue Sky Alpacas, dyed cotton and Alpaca Sport. I am so excited to get this yarn in, we have never carried Blue Sky in the past, so this is a whole new brand for us. I just love their cotton yarn, it is really the best cotton on the market, that I have seen anyway.

Other news in the shop is that Tara/oregonknitter on Ravelry is down with phnemonia, please send her well wishes and prayers as she recovers.

Elizabeth/harpbardknits on Ravelry is now working part time at the shop. Be sure and welcome her.

One last thing is that we are having a contest at Nestucca Bay Yarns group on Ravelry, post your finished projects and once a month we will vote for our favorite FO. The winner will receive a prize compliments of Nestucca Bay.

Now off to join the knitting group!
