Introducing Amano

We are bringing in a new yarn line called Amano!! You can read more about the company on their website: https://amanoyarns.com/

For thousands of years, the people of the Andes have made offerings to the Inca gods. The richness of this mystic land and its bounty holds true wealth, ancient wisdom, and luxurious fibers. At Amano, we build on these past treasures with our collection of contemporary and luxurious yarns, rooted in the rich depths of Andean tradition. Amano® is luxury in its purest expression. Find an Andean tale in each strand, each fiber gift from the Inca gods. Taste the Andes with Amano.


There are many bases within the Amano line, but we have brought in just a couple to start with!


Mamacha
70% Baby Alpaca - 30% Merino Wool



Mamacha in Quechua (the native language of the Incas) means loved and eternal mother. For Amano, Mamacha represents home, love and of course – Mother Earth. Experience the squishy classic merino wool and baby alpaca in a chunky weight, in four new beautiful melange colors.
Composition
70% Baby Alpaca - 30% Merino Wool
Weight: 100 gr
Yards: 55
Meters: 50
Needle size: 10 - 15 US

There are some lovely patterns on Raverly that use this yarn, but I was thinking this cozy cowl would be perfect to show off the squishy fabric this yarn makes!!

Warmi Journeys
70% Baby Alpaca - 30% Merino Wool




Introducing our very First hand-dyed Baby Alpaca and Merino Wool blend, Warmi Journeys celebrates the luscious flora and fauna that the Andes offers. In eight new shades, each color has been inspired by the wonderous, rich plant and Floral life which grows in abundance in the Andes. Each skein has been painted by hand, bringing a unique and delicate color story which transports straight to nature.


Composition: 70% Baby Alpaca - 30% Merino Wool
Weight: 100 gr
Yards: 164
Meters: 150

This is a newer yarn, so we don't have as much pattern support for it, but I think it would make an AMAZING hat like this one...

Karen Chemo Cap 5th Anniversary Makeover

I had someone ask me about the Karen Chemo Cap Fan Stitch and I decided the video and pattern were both in need of a make-over! Especially when I noticed this year is the 5th anniversary of publishing this pattern. When my mom had chemo I made her a few different hats because honestly it felt like the only thing I could do. I designed this one just for her, and was super excited when it was her favorite! After she passed I wasn't sure I wanted to release the design, but with a little time...it felt like the right thing to do! You can download the pattern for free here (please give it a favorite over on Ravelry so that it gets a little Ravelry love!!!):  Ravelry: Karen Chemo Cap pattern by A Little Knitty Designs You can purchase the yarn we used here:  Cumulus by Juniper Moon Farm (alittleknitty.com) Here is the video if you need help with the fan stitch!
