Meet a new yarn we're excited to tell you about!

We have a brand new yarn in the store that we're excited to share with you. Cotton Lux is like a fun, new, BFF to hang out with all summer.

This yarn has a lot going for it. It is a lightweight, cotton yarn that self-stripes AND has a little bit of sparkle. The colors are fantastic! With a sport weight gauge and plenty of yardage, this yarn is super versatile. I couldn't resist it when I saw it and I think you're going to love it too. The photo above shows 4 of the 5 colors that we have in stock

Here are some project ideas for Cotton Lux...

The Rock It Tee from Tanis Lavalee is a simple v-neck tee that would be perfect for Cotton Lux. The pattern calls for using 3 different yarns but you could just use a single strand of Cotton Lux and let it do its stripey magic.

The Love Your Sweater (LYS) top from our friend Becca Anderson is another top that would be lovely in Cotton Lux. Again, the pattern calls for using a second yarn in the yoke but I would just skip that and use Cotton Lux for the entire project. This top is so fun to make that I've knit it twice!

Laines du Nord created a shawl pattern for this yarn. We have a sample shawl in the store. If you are local, you can check it out the next time you come in. It's a pretty shawl with an interesting shape. The design is pretty simple, which shows off the yarn nicely. The pattern is available for free on the Laines du Nord website here.

For Crocheters the Granite Yoke tee is simple and sweet, which is perfect for Cotton Lux. The yarn will make this top something special.

Also for Crocheters, the Lisanne Shawl would be really nice in this yarn. The pattern is simple enough that it will let the yarn shine.

All of the patterns I've shared are available in our store or on Ravelry, except for the Cotton Lux Shawl from Laines du Nord which is only available on their website. Let me know which is your favorite!
