August Yarn of the Month


  

Araucania Unan Hand Painted

Dimensions
Length: 219 Yards; Yarn weight: 4 Worsted & Aran
Materials
Primary fiber: Cotton
Secondary fiber: Alpaca
Description
50% Tanguis Cotton; 50 % Alpaca. 219yds. Needle Size U.S. 7-9; Crochet Hook Size I9-K10.5.

This blended yarn is a wonderfully soft combination of cotton and alpaca. An excellent choice for an heirloom baby blanket!!

The uniform long staple Tangis cotton outstands for its whiteness, strength and softness. This one of a kind cotton is highly absorbent and can retain 24 to 27 times its own weight.

Clothes made from Tangüis cotton are breathable as it rapidly absorbs and releases perspiration.

Alpaca fiber is naturally water resistant and water repellant. It wicks water away and absorbs very little. It's the softest part of an adult Alpaca (usually the chest), not the age of the animal. Alpaca fleece is soft and silky. It is lighter in weight and up to 7x warmer than Sheep's wool but very breathable

Retail: $18.00   On sale for: $14.40

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!

Chemo Caps - Part 2

Please share this pattern with anyone who would like to knit a hat for someone in need! You can download your pattern here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/gia-chemo-cap
