It's difficult to keep a secret, so I'm happy that Yahaira has finally announced the opening of her new online knitting store, pureknits. I'm thrilled for her, and now I can blab about it all I want.
Her shop was the source of the Fable Handknit Pure Baby Alpaca that I used for the Aspen Neck Cowl. The baby alpaca was so wonderful that I recently placed another order for that yarn (in a lovely blue this time around).
In addition to Fable Handknit, she's currently carrying yarn from Habu and Tilli Tomas. She also has recycled silk and a house line of hand dyed bamboo. Make sure you buy lots of Amy, my namesake colorway!
Of course there are also cool patterns, knitting bags and more. Go check it out (and no, she isn't giving me a kickback for posting this)!





The Amy is a lovely color combo - what will you knit with it? I "had" to by the Amy Four Play color way from Brook Farms just because of the name but I love the colors as well - I don't know what it will become. :)

I didn't know there was another Amy yarn out there! I've long been a fan of pink and orange (my old namesake website used that color palette), and since some other hussy had already taken a pure pink colorway, figured it would suit me. I'm not sure what I'd knit with it. That wrap pattern from shibui knits is rather appealing to me.

What are you making with the new color Fable Yarn. The blue is awesome!
I got my Sundara Sock Yarn fix today. I think that I was harassing the poor girl about when she was opening the store today. Thank goodness I was on the special list. ;-)

I'm saving up for some DK silky merino from Sundara so I only bought a wee bit of sock yarn from PureKnits. But what great colors! And I soooo had to restrain myself when it came to the Baby Alpaca.

Thanks a lot for sharing the link - I'm afraid I could spend a fortune there :) The Fable-Alpaca looks so gorgeous, I can almost feel it in my hands, what a soft and heavenly yarn it seems to be!
