Quality and Quantity Abound: New Cheap Yarns.

Lion Brand, one of the giant manufacturers of commercial yarns, has recently announced a new "Luxery Collection" of yarns, which feature organic wool, organic cotton-bamboo, a delicious super-wash merino wool, an incredible wool stainless steel, and even cashmere.This makes me gush because while they are as pricey as many of the other fine yarns, it is along the lines of KnitPicks--affordable, but genuine. The organic wool, at $10 a skein, is absolutely drool worthy, particularly in the toffee, avocado, and redwood colors, and I must must must pick some of these up (once I save some coin).The yarns are only available at the LB Studio in NY or online, so you can order up or take a gander at their collection here. The prices range from $5 a skein to $15, depending on the luxery type and weight.I can already envision the projects I want to make with these yummy new additions. What do you think? LB Luxery good or gimmicky? Methinks its a nice alternative to Knitpicks, no? Especially when you own everything KP already has to offer and you're a broke library student and parttime writer.But, while we're mentioning geniune but cheap yarns, KnitPicks has just changed their set of self-striping sock yarns again. Start saving those pennies my sock yarn sluts. Wantsies, wantsies, wantsies. Be mindful, kittens. Some of the old stripes are now on clearance. Calling an order needed for the "Gelato".
