Nine Rubies Knitting

Looking Forward to Fall

June 26th, 2008

Like many of you, we are devoted fans of Interweave Knits. In particular, we love Eunny Jang’s designs, and it’s great to see them reach a wider audience (she’s the editor now). Eunny favors Fair Isle projects (designs like the Ivy League Vest (pictured here) and Autumn Rose that use two colors per row), and we’ve just received the perfect yarn!

Jamieson’s Spindrift is a fingering weight yarn that comes in a ton (and we mean a ton) of solid and heathered colors. It’s designed to be used in Fair Isle projects because you carry more than one color acros the back, and a fine yarn won’t be too bulky.

We’re working on a class for fall that uses this yarn and introduces advanced Fair Isle techniques like steeking (actually cutting your knitting)! We’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, we have lots of Fair Isle project ideas (some simple and others more complex), so come in and chek out this great new yarn. Don’t forget, it will be on sale over the 4th of July weekend.
