DEBBIE BLISS BABY ALPACA SILK
We love when the new Fall yarns arrive. Boxes and boxes are delivered, ripped open and we fondle the new yarns. But once they are entered into inventory and placed in our bins, our true fun starts: walking our customers over to the bins of our new yarns so they can pet the yarn too!
While we have lots of new yarns to touch, this season the "early favorite" for yarn of the year is Debbie Bliss' Baby Alpaca Silk. It is 80% Alpaca and 20% Silk and knits up at 4.5 stitches to the inch on a size 8 or 9 US needle. Each ball is 75 yards. We carry it in every color.

What makes this yarn so appealing is not only does it feel unbelievably soft, Debbie has created some terrific patterns for the yarn. Here are just a few (click on the thumbnails for a larger picture):






And there are other pattern to drool over as well. So, if you want a break between trips to buy back to school supplies and clothers, drop by WoolWinders and fondle some yarn!
