Painted Desert – New colors and a special price!

Psst… Remember Knitting Fever Painted Desert Yarn? You might know it for its fun palette of variegated colors, and you may have already worked with it in patterns such as the [Sorry, item discontinued or temporarily out of stock] , which is free when you buy the yarn. Painted Desert is a beautiful 100% wool superwash, with plenty of yardage and a very soft hand. Well, I’m excited to announce that we have introduced three new tonal shades of Painted Desert! This is great for those of you who love variegated yarns but prefer to see the variegation happen within colors of the same family as opposed to all over the color wheel. That’s not to say these colors sacrifice brightness, though!

Isn’t that neat?!  More than one person has compared this to moss, and I don’t disagree. This is an elegant, earthy piece that would also be a great way to showcase a certain lovely shawl pin, as worn in the original pattern photo. In fact, this would be a good opportunity to browse the handcrafted shawl pins we carry from Maine artist Bonnie Bishoff! I like the [Sorry, item discontinued or temporarily out of stock] , or the [Sorry, item discontinued or temporarily out of stock] . The [Sorry, item discontinued or temporarily out of stock] would also be lovely, especially paired with the green shawl. There are a bunch of different pins – Beth wrote a blog post a while back about these guys; click here to check it out if you’re interested!

Needless to say, it’s always nice to have more color options. Try the Riblet Shawlette pattern in a more brightly variegated colorway, or see what it looks like in the new gray tonal- there’s a shade for just about anyone, any style. Something else that’s always nice?  Saving money! Catch Knitting Fever Painted Desert Yarn while it’s on sale, 10% off from now through next Saturday, December 17th!
