Debbie Bliss Angel

Angel is a gorgeous new laceweight yarn from Debbie Bliss. It is 76% superkid mohair/24% silk and so luxuriously soft you just want to cuddle it. It knits up on a range of needle sizes from 3.25mm - 5mm with a tension of 18-24 sts and 23-34 rows to 10cm depending on the needle size. It will knit to any laceweight patterns for shawls and scarves and has it's own book (also called Angel) with 9 stunning designs, see here. Both the yarn and book are due in stock this week at http://www.kangaroo.uk.com/

Exciting combinations of colour and texture will make something totally unique that requires minimal sewing up.
The workshop is at Kangaroo in East Sussex and can be booked here. Participants are also entitled to 10% discount on purchases made on the day, so come and browse through our selection of yarns, patterns and accessories and take advantage of the sale.

Happy New Year!

Emma a knitting kit using Fleece Artist yarn
The yarn sale at Kangaroo is in full swing - I am back to the UK tomorrow to get all the Christmas orders out and change all the prices for the VAT increase (groan..) However, to make up for this there are further reductions on many of the sale yarns. Bargain of the day - Fleece Artist knitting kit Emma is reduced from £36 to £22.
My book is nearly finished, I thought I would never get to the day when I could say that, but only 2 projects to finish off today and get to the pattern checkers, then just the remaining text to write..........
