Good write-up on the yarn: “We are very pleased to announce that Claude Monet joins the world of Opal Sweater and Sock yarn. Oscar-Claude Monet was born in Paris on the 14th November 1840. His early work, which included the work “impression, Sunrise’, gave his name the entire movement of Impressionism. The visible reality loses its corporeality and the representation of the light and the mood become the main painterly task. He is considered an exceptional artist who has shaped a whole epoch. His most important stages of life were Paris, Le Havre and Giverny, here he died on 5th December 1926. His main subjects include the haystacks, water lilies, travel pictures of Venice, London and Norway and motifs of his beloved garden in Giverny. “The beauty of the atmosphere between the object and the artist” – as Monet called it, we have captured from eight of his artworks and converted to our Opal Sweater- and Sock yarn. Monets colorings are wonderful foundation for your lovely needlework. Engage the mood that arises between you and the colors of our Opal Claude Monet.”

Audrey is a Needles and Knits customer and has been attending the Knit Therapy Sessions for a long time. Audrey recently discovered Fairgrounds DK at Needles and Knits Wool Shop. It is an acrylic yarn with the feel of merino and it can be washed. One would never guess it is an acrylic. Seriously! It creates a fair isle pattern when knit. Here are the six beautiful shades that are available.  Six shades of Fairground DK yarn She purchased a couple balls of the Fairgrounds DK and decided to knit up a few cowls. They turned out fantastic! Here are the how to's for Audrey's Cowl:
One ball of Fairgrounds DK With 4 mm circular needle cast on 110 sts for smaller blue cowl and 130 sts for orange cowl (Audrey cast on 140 for the one she knit but thinks 130 sts would allow for a nicer drape). Place a marker at beginning of round and purl 3 rounds. Knit in the round until desired length but leave enough yardage to finish. Purl 3 rounds and cast off all sts. Sew in end  Rowan Pure Silk is now in stock at Needles & Knits Wool Shop! It is 100% silk yarn and comes in 50g balls. It has a beautiful drape and stitch definition.
