Thought I'd do a quick roll call of my 5 favourite yarns at the moment:
Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino is pure luxury with it's fine cashmere blend & delicious softness
Manos del Uruguay Silk Blend yarn is a luxurious blend of merino and silk in a range of beautiful colours
Debbie Bliss Donegal Luxury Tweed Chunky new for 2009 and supported by some beautiful patterns in the new Big Easy book, this yarn is LOVELY to work with
Louisa Harding Willow Tweed combines the softness of merino with the lightweight fluffiness of Alpaca - we are currently working on some funky summerweight scarf kits - watch this space!
Araucania Ranco Multy produced by artisans dedicated to the art of dyeing natural yarns and fibres, this is THE perfect sock yarn

Debbie Bliss Amalfi
Busy day! Also in the delivery was Debbie Bliss Amalfi yarn
, a soft summer tweed yarn available in 12 subtle colours. A mix of cotton, linen, viscose and silk, it drapes beautifully.
Don't want to be too ambitious with my projects (must be realistic!), but I think I will knit the vest for the summer

Debbie Bliss Eco Baby

I wasn't expecting this today... My stock of the new Debbie Bliss Eco Baby arrived! It's gorgeous, in beautiful subtle colours that I am just itching to knit. but I can't! MUST finish off other projects first. Supported with a new pattern book, Eco Baby, there are some lovely simple projects to knit, ranging from blankets to dresses and cardigans. And best of all it's totally interchangeable with Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino and all those patterns

Crochet Hooks
I'm just rediscovering crochet after a long-ish absence - I added a crochet border to a knitted hat that was a little too short for me. It's so quick! After months of knitting baby garments on 3.25mm needles, I can tell you it is a welcome relief!
And for the first time I used the lovely Brittany Birch Crochet Hooks that we sell in store. I'm already a convert to the needles, and the hooks are equally as lovely, smooth to work with and very tactile!
