What's New in Yarns
Serenity shown from left in:
America, America, Black and Gray in a Rainbow World, Red Bluff and
Topsail Island.
Serenity
- is available in seven warmed
up colorways in limited
quantities and priced at $32/8
oz./700 yd. skein. Undyed/natural is priced at $16. Suggested
weaving sett is 10-14 EPI. Knitting gauge is approximately 6-1/2
st./in. over stockinette on a size 4 U.S. needle. More
colorways coming soon!
Cloud
9 - available in 14 colorways plus natural for those
of you who want to dye your own.
The fiber content is 50%
cotton/50% rayon with a hand as light as a cloud. The rayon
content gives the yarn just enough weight and sheen and the cotton
content helps the finished item hold its shape. The contrast of
the unmercerized cotton and sheen of the rayon is quite nice and gives
depth of color not seen on yarns of 100% of either fiber.
Cloud 9 is priced at $24 per 8 oz./832 yd. skein (1664
YPP). Gauge is approximately 6-1/2 st./in. on a size 5 U.S. needle.
Suggested weaving sett is 8-12 EPI.
What's New in Painted Warps
The
silk/rayon
that we loved in the skein is available in six
meter warps, enough for two scarves and available in eight colorways
including new Choctaw Ridge and Red Bluff. Look for pictures soon.
Pop one of these warps on the loom with
no painting, no winding. Just beam and weave! This could
almost be called a weekend project if you are a fast weaver. The
silk/rayon warps are the newest of the Heritage painted warps.
They are 6 meters long (6-1/2 yds.) although the labels will state
6 yards. So, there's plenty of room for two scarves
and an evening bag. Weave a scarf for yourself and one
for a friend. There are 180 ends with suggested sett of 14-18 EPI
or a width of 10-12.9" inches in the reed. Weave off with
mill dyed tencel shown on the same page. And, to make life easy,
pick up a pattern while you're there.
