Kokon Merino DK
We are delighted to have Kokon Yarn at Wool & Grace. This magical yarn has garnered attention among indie designers over the past several months. Now that has arrived, it's easy to see why. Kokon Merino DK is a round, squishy yarn with tons of twist. It flies off your needles and is a absolute joy to knit. It's subtle hand-dyed solids give knitted fabrics a hint of depth and texture.
Isabell Kraemer has just released Mariechen (pictured below), a seamless cardigan pattern with a textured front featuring Kokon Merino DK. Click here to check out the Ravelry information on this delightful pattern, or stop by Wool & Grace to see the pattern and this wonderful yarn. Get ready to be inspired!
Kokon is a Dutch yarn company. Made from mulesing-free sheep raised in South Africa. Each skein of Kokon Merino DK is a joyful 201 yards and $30. Click here to learn more and buy online.

A Tale of Two Sweaters and Some Knitting Notes
This week's blog is a smattering of knitting notes. Read along with us as we discuss loving our knitting projects from casting-on to wearing-it-to-bits, or the delayed-gratification of a truly lovely but challenging project. We also talk about two sweaters that look very similar - one technically challenging while the other is (by comparison) a walk in the park.
