Kat's Riverside Studio 2nd annual Pre-order Advent Yarn Calendar.  
Available at 9am EST Monday July 12.

Come check out our newly added Sale section on Feb 26th 9am. We are discounting many yarns that we have discontinued for one reason or another. They may be on a base that we no longer carry or we may have changed the size of the skein.  We have many lovely skeins that just need a happy stash to nestle down in. Come check it out for some great deals. And check in often as we add new things.

I love the combination of kidsilk base and a variegated silk yarn smock stitch. The possible combinations are endless. As soon as we heard from Stephanie that this pattern would be published and it used our silk fingering we got to work dyeing up beautiful combinations. Check them out in the Shop under Limited Editions. There are very limited quantities of each colour. It is one of the few bases...

We have just added some incredibly luxurious Kidsilk Lace in fun and popular speckled colourways. Soft and light as a cloud, the silk gleaming through the haze of mohair this yarn epitomizes luxury. One of my favourite projects that would work perfectly for this yarn is Birds of a Feather a gorgeous shawl by Andrea Mowry. Another shawl pattern I have in my Ravelry queue is Down by the River by Virginia Sattler Reimer. All that is needed is one skein of a nice variegated fingering weight yarn like Cobalt and Rust with one of Fen in Kidsilk.One pattern I will definitely be knitting this...
