Rico Restock and Bounties of Yarn for Spring!

Rico Restock and Bounties of Yarn for Spring!

Finally! The Rico restock we’ve all been waiting for has arrived! We’ve got some old favourites as well as some new exciting yarns that we can’t wait to share with you.

Rico So Cool + So Soft Cotton Chunky yarn

So cool and so soft? You can say that again! Brand new Chunky Cotton yarn is a fab and funky concoction that has us jumping for joy. This wiggly texture is created by wrapping a fine thread around soft-as-a-cloud chunky cotton yarn, resulting in a yarn that’s as fun to knit with as it is to look at. With a breathable, open texture once knit, stitch definition for days, and a lovely drape, this is your go-to yarn for statement pieces this spring and summer.

One of the best things about Rico is what a great addition it is to your collection of stash yarns — or as the foundation for a stash if you’re just starting to build yours. And there’s no better way to kick start your stash than with a Ricorumi Box Set. Rico’s box sets come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from the Spin Spin box of 8 to the Spray DK box of 10, to 20-piece Cotton DK and Baby sets, to the amazing Cotton DK set of 60! These yarns are great for colourwork projects as they allow you to mix and match hues without worrying about gauge and they’re always great to have on hand to add splashes of colour to whatever you’re working on.

In addition to the stash-building boxes, we have loads of Cotton DK available for a-la-carte purchase for spring knits! Organic Cotton Aran, Merino Aran, and Spin Spin are all stocked up as stand-alone skeins, plus we’ll be adding 60 colours of Baby Cotton DK with a new pattern book within the next couple of weeks (stand by for news on that!) We love Rico so much and we know you do to. It’s so wonderful to have so much of it in the shop just as the season for cotton knits is starting to blossom!

Matilda Sweater

How darling is this sweater designed by Laura Menéndez? The Matilda Sweater is everything a gift for a little one should be — super sweet yet warm and wearable, and of course made with love.
