Heritage Yarns Newsletter #36
On Cloud

September 30, 2005
Hello everyone,
We have been relieved to hear that some of our ROC
Day friends in southwestern Louisiana suffered no loss of livestock on
their farms from Hurricane Rita and are praying that the remainder of our friends are O.K.
I have been working on a dye project
of which a portion will go to aid those affected by the hurricanes.
Look for an announcement soon.
Until we meet again,
Margaret <><

Atlantic Moonglow, Rose Garden and Spring at Rocky Springs
Heritage Yarns is celebrating a new
name for the Cloud yarn -
Cloud 9! As part of the celebration, you will receive a $2 price break on
each skein for 9 days, September 30 - October 8.
Knitting gauge is approximately 6-1/2 st./in. on a size 5 U.S. needle.
The yardage is high as a cloud on this lofty yarn or 832 yds. on a 8 oz.
skein, enough for two of many laceweight scarves or a shawl.
Suggested weaving sett is 8-12 EPI. An 8 oz. skein is enough yardage
for a narrow woven scarf or warp a little wider and weave off with mill
dyed tencel.
Regularly priced at $24/skein, your price for 9 days is only $22 and
available in 14 colorways. Stock up now at Hand
Painted
Yarns for gift giving and future
projects.

Featured HeartStrings Patterns
Shown from left in Cloud
9: Reversible Lace Cables in Atlantic Moonglow, Diamond Lace
Dress-It-Up in Rose Garden and Triangles-within-Triangles in Spring at
Rocky Springs
These are only 3 of the many
HeartStrings patterns suitable for Cloud 9 .
The equal fiber content, 50% cotton/50% rayon, is the best of both worlds
for lace knitting. The cotton content lends a soft, light hand and
stabilizes lace patterns whereas the rayon content gives a nice drape and
sheen. Because the two fibers take up dye differently, there is the
added benefit of depth of color not available in a yarn of all one
fiber.
Currently on the needles is the
Triangles-within-Triangles Shawl in Magic Carpet Ride Cloud
9 and the Elegantly Simple Triangular Shawl in Bird of
Paradise Cloud 9 .

Thanks
for your response to 200 pounds of this wonderful yarn. Shown
above is what's remaining.
These
are the very last skeins in 20% Silk/80% Rayon and so sorry to
see it go. It has a wonderful drape and slight sheen and
ideal for any garter stitch-based pattern. Yardage is high (1050/8
oz.) for this laceweight yarn. Suggested gauge is approximately 6
st/in over stockinette on a size 5 (U.S.) needle.
Weavers,
this is the same yarn as in the silk/rayon warps. There is
sufficient yardage for warp for two scarves. Suggested sett
is 14-20 EPI. Weave off with 8/2 tencel. Price is only $24.
