Australian knitting yarn price war - great for us...

Australian knitters have you noticed there's a price war going on? And it's definately to our advantage....If you're a bargain yarn knitter you'll have bought some of K-marts 30% off yarns over the past week or so - we stocked up a little and tried some of their "Palette Series" yarns.

Now we see Crazy Clark's have jumped onto the bargain bandwagon and dropped the price of their Pearl of the Orient "Blink" yarn down to 66c per 50g ball beating similar K-mart's Palette Series 017/219 on sale for 69c.

funky fur yarn
Here's the type of yarn we're discussing.

We need to point out Crazy Clark's "Blink" is not as soft as Moda Vera "flurry" (the edging material feels a little stiffer) and I probably wouldn't choose to wear it next to my bare skin in a scarf, however it's perfect for hats or bags.

We've used this type of yarn for several of our hat pattern designs.
This one is knitted in the round using 2 balls
top down hat
You'll find the pattern and more information here in a new window.
Or
1 ball each of this type of yarn and 8ply acrylic or wool and a pair of straight needles makes this hat pattern.
 flurry hat pattern

pattern details here.

Although both of the above hats illustrated were created with Moda Vera Flurry they could easily be knitted with the discounted yarns we're discussing, and whatever name you use for this type of yarn
- eyelash, funky fur, flurry, blink or feathers -
we're sure you'll find it versatile and easy to knit with...so grab a couple of balls while it's at this price.....
