Tosh Merino Light: Tons of New Colors
A nice big shipment of Tosh Merino Light has arrived from our friends at Madeline Tosh, and we're swooning with color love (as usual)! Whether these gorgeous hues or their clever names call to you, we love to use Tosh Merino Light for almost everything. This fingering-weight yarn is singly ply, making it soft-as-all-get-out. Each supple skein is 420 yards and loaded with color, so you can use one to knit up a One Skein Wonder or grab a few to make a sweater.
Remember, Tosh Merino Light is hand-dyed in Texas with ethically sourced merino wool from South Africa. Each skein is 420 yards and $26. Click here to meet colors like Elizabeth Taylor, Then Luna Lovegood Fed the Thestrals, Night in Chile and to buy online!

We're focused on shawls and cowls for this week's edition - but even with that narrow focus we have a plethora of ideas for you. Click here to keep reading and to get inspired.
