August's New Colors

Posted on August 18, 2016 | 0 Comments

We have three pretty blues for the dog days of summer.  From left to right the colors are P446, P409, P303. They are 15% off until August 24th.

Color P446-0003 is gorgeous, I would make something that I could look at while I wore it, like gloves or a shawl. 

Color P409-200 is beautiful, it's very close to a Koigu blue that I used for my Clapotis scarf. 

Color P303-0002 is hard to photograph. There is more of a brown/violet cast to it, not beige or yellow.  Pretty, muted and subtle would be the three words to describe the color - it would be a gorgeous sweater.

As the summer winds down, we are finalizing plans to be at the Indie Untangled Rhinebeck Show (October 2016) as well as Vogue Knitting Live NY (January 2017).

And we're excited to have our projects bags find a home at a new Brooklyn yarn store (more about this tomorrow)!

Introducing Bulky and Lace Merino!

chiagu.com Koigu Bulky and Lace

At this year's Vogue Knitting Live customers asked if Chiagu would carry Koigu Bulky Merino and/or Koigu Lace Merino. I then posed the question to the newsletter subscribers.  In each instance the responses ran about 50-50, there was no clearcut winner.

After playing with sample skeins of each weight, I decided to get a small amount of yarn in both bulky merino and lace merino. I have 3 colors in each weight and they are in limited quantities. You can find them here and they are 15% off until July 31st.

I hope to order more of each, let me know what colors you would like to see.
