When: Saturday August 12, 5 - 6 PM
I nstructors: Tamara Nichols and Kris Gregson
Cost: Only $5!




Brushmere Shawl

Brushmere
 
From Cardiff, a small family owned mill in Italy that only spins Cashmere, comes Brushmere. This is an incredibly soft cashmere yarn with a great 'fuzzy' texture to it.

It's a bulky yarn that knits on a US 11, but because of the construction it's very light.  Just 4 balls make this beautiful, easy to knit shawl.

It's Cashmere, you know you want to work with it!

Auntie Wooly Says...

Dahlings!

Continental is a great technique that Tamara is excited to share with you all! There are many that say they get more  consistent gauge when knitting this way. Once you're used to it, it can be a faster way to knit as well, if that is important to you. We hope to see some of you at this workshop!


Until next time...

Happy Stitching!
