New Fall Stuff Part Deux: Chunky/Bulky Season Is Here

What supply chain shortage (she says glancing around our well-stocked shop!)? You know you're ready for 4Q when you overhear customers say upon entering "wow....no shipping delays in here!" Time to start crafting, shopping and finding perfect gifts for everyone on your holiday lists. Scroll to end: ntroducing new Maisie Kits of shop favorites! 

New Awesome Yarns!

Remix chunky had us squealing with delight when our lovely Betsy our Lovely Berroco Rep pulled the sample out of her bag last spring. Bet you can imagine the stereo sound of Megan and I bouncing in our seats, clapping excitedly, giddy as schoolgirls that there was a C H U N K Y Remix! 

My hot water bottle seriously needs a wardrobe upgrade! Scroll down for kit details 

Moving on our Chunky / Bulky theme, we now head over to Super Bulky Macro. 

 

No new intro needed for Macro. It's long been a shop favorite for years. In fact we opened up fall sales meeting asking Betsy.... Please, please tell us Macro not gone? And it wasn't....Hurray! We love how super super bulky (#17-19 needle) and awesome colors. It's F....A.....S.....T!! Easily can whip up items in hours to a few days for a blanket. 

Since it's been around many years Macro has loads of perfectly fast, gift knitting patterns available. She even paired up last year with another bulky yarn Coco for some innovative uses of solid + multicolor techniques to jazz up things a bit. 

Of course Berroco always great pattern support with lots of freebies too! Love the tree skirt and holiday stockings! Just sayin' it's getting to rapidly be the season! 

New Kits! 

Macro Pillow Kit 

Never underestimate the power of pillow knitting! It's one of Kim's passions....just ask her family (who regularly mutter no more pilllows! as they toss them off the couch to find a seat). There's just so much potential with pillows. Usually fairly quick knit, great for learning new techniques or stitches, much less committment than afghans or sweaters. Any scarf can easily become a pillow when you realize there's no way you'll  finish a whole 60" long scarf! Presto-chango....bind off and you've got the makings of a pillow instead. 

The Macro Cable Pillow Kit is super fast and easily cranked out for that perfect gift. Takes just 2 hanks on a #17 needle. Wowza! Hardest part is deciding which pillow form to shove inside. Hint: 18" crams into this 16" knitted cover nicely! Love a good negative ease.....LOL

 Yowza Blanket Kit

Yowza is a family favorite. Megan made several wonderful lap blankets over the years. Of course Kim's cat Mr. Fritzi totally thinks the blanket is his....but that's a cat for you! It's such an easy project: Grab 4 hanks Macro and #17 circular needle (32" or 40") and cast on 52 stitches. Then settle down on couch, binge watch favorite shows before you know it.....one blanket done! Purchase Kits Here
