…new in the shop
Last week, we received our first shipment of needle and hook organizers from Five to Six Organized Knits--and already a number of these beautifully designed and made cases have found their new homes. Molly Wiecks has thoughtfully crafted each type of bag, and Yarn Folk is absolutely thrilled to be able to stock these. To begin with, we brought in the DPN, Crochet Hook, Interchangeable Needle, Fixed Circular, and Interchangeable Cable organizers. I personally (currently) own the Interchangeable Needle and Fixed Circular cases, and my needles have never--not ever--been this organized. The Fixed Circular cases fit inside the DPN organizer, and the Interchangeable Cable Organizers fit inside the Interchangeable Needle cases. I'll also say that I have more interchangeable needles in the case than I should technically be able to fit.
Shop these wonderful organizers here!
…to inspire
We have another new yarn in the shop that inspires me to think about CABLES. Berroco's Millstone Tweed is a wool/rayon/nylon blend that comes in an array of exceptional colors. I love a soft, tweedy yarn, and I love it even more when it has a bright and balanced palette.
Berroco's pattern collection for this yarn leans into cabling, and we have a sample of Graves, the cardigan pictured above, if you would like to see it in person.
In addition to Berroco's collection, I think that Thea Colman's Ghost In The Orchard vest would be spectacular in nearly any color, and if you would prefer a smaller project, Jared Flood's Skiff beanie is a favorite of ours.

I was hoping to start the second sample I'm making for he Have a Ball Fall Crawl, but I really have (JUST) One More Stripe! I'm not usually a monogamous crafter, but if you have a deadline, you have a deadline! Still not boring--but the rows are loooong now.
