Where does the time go? Summer seems to fly by after the fourth of July. If you are lucky enough to have a vacation you are probably looking for a knitting project that you can complete quickly. Have a look at Booklet #281 devoted entirely to our new bulky yarns.

Cuzco™ is a 50/50 blend of the best animal fibers from Peru. Superfine Alpaca and Peruvian wool combine to create a 2 ply, quick knit yarn with a luxurious hand. It is available in 13 beautiful fall shades including a grey heather and natural.

Peruvia™ Quick is a 2 ply twist of our favorite Peruvian Highland wool. For a wooly quick knit in rich heathers and clear solids it’s available in 13 best selling shades.

Booklet #281 contains some great fast projects including a coat, a cardigan, a vest, a throw, bags, scarves and other knit and crocheted adornments.
