In our article, Know Your Yarn, Part 1, we talked about the different weights of yarn. Today, in Part 2 of this series, we’re going to discuss Superwash and Non-Superwash yarn. 

While My Sister Knits likes to carry local and regional yarn, we also like finding international treasures that not many other shops carry.

Wooldreamers has an intriguing yarn for spring knitting! Saona is a 50/50 wool-cotton blend, all from Spain. The wool is a blend of Merino and Manchega. The fun thing about Manchega is that it comes from Manchega sheep who are also the source of Manchego cheese! 

The Sophie Scarf, designed by PetiteKnit, took the knitting world by storm. They are all over the place! There are over 16,700 projects posted on Ravelry!

Just when we thought we had enough Sophies at My Sister Knits, we have one more that is almost a requirement for springtime or summer evenings!

A few weeks ago I wrote about giving your brain a break with a kit. Today, we’re going to focus on classes and making your brain work by learning something new!

We have a variety of classes in April to choose from:

My Sister Kits just received a shipment of Kelbourne Woolens DK weight Scout! Talk about a squishy yarn!

Scout is from the fleece of Highland sheep in the Peruvian highlands, a cross between Merino and Corriedale. The Corriedale adds strength and durability to the soft Merino.

Let’s talk about mixing up yarns for a pattern! Every pattern has a suggested yarn, sometimes even suggested choices of yarns. How comfortable are you with choosing a different yarn?

When you enter My Sister Knits you will notice an extra profusion of color! We’ve packed all 50 plus colors of our new Sensai mohair from Ito yarns into a dazzling display! It will take your breath away.

Meet Maarly, a colorwork cowl designed by Lucia Ruiz de Aguirre. After reading the title, you’re probably wondering why and how you might be motivated by it! Well, let me tell you……

Spincycle’s newest yarn, bulky weight Plump, has taken up residence on the landing on our stairs!

My Sister Knits has an exciting new yarn that we found when Julie, Diana, and I went to Chicago in June. It’s the whole purpose of going to a show like that, to find yarn we didn’t know about!

Pink! The world has gone pink! At least, the Barbie movie world has gone pink. Let’s join in the fun and jump on the pink bandwagon! Why not? Pink is joyful, exuberant, and playful. What’s not to love?
