COTTON FLAKE YARNS HAND OR MACHINE KNITTED

Our cotton flake yarn can be hand or machine knitted. I knit using 1 strand on the standard machine. I also knitted 2 strands on the bulky machine tension 3-4. My hand knitting customers love this yarn and knit using 2 strands. Machine wash and dry. We have a nice selection of bright colors just in time for summer knitting.
Tropical green is an Emerald green color, The tangerine is a bright color, so is the Lime Green, those of you looking for a nice yellow we have sunshine in the cotton flake. We also have Navy, and a few other colors. The yarn is only $5.98 a lb. (that's 16 ounces) or close to $0.37 an ounce. 100% Cotton. Go Green. Machine or Hand wash and dry. Yarn can be purchased from Stephanie's Studio and Yarn http://www.sumi-soft.com/yarn/

Bolero a Cover-UP for that Sleeveless Dress or Top

 I knit the bolero or cover-up for my sleeveless dresses that I made for summer. The blue bolero was knit using 2/17 acrylic yarn and the Red marl bolero was knit using our 3/15 acrylic yarn. Pattern will be in our next newsletter.
