New yarns

Hi everyone,
                New Noro Kirara is now here! Kirara is one of the latest additions to the Noro family. Kirara, a standard double knitting yarn, is a colour explosion in textiles with flecks throughout the wool which break up blocks of colour resulting in a softer, tweedy look to otherwise bold shades.

Made up of 51% wool with 29% cotton,with a luxurious addition of 10% silk and 10% Angora this yarn is something extra special!
As this is a standard Dk yarn it should work pretty well with a good many patterns but since it is so special I would personally opt for a Noro pattern, and a new book, Noro Passion includes a few juicy ideas to tantalise you....

also Zpaghetti is in. it is made from t-shirt wastes, so is quite literally like torn strips of t-shirts. resulting in one continuous strip. Ideal for a host of uses, DMC is selling it as a perfect starter yarn for crochet. used with a mega chunky crochet hook, this makes fantastic handbags for which we have free patterns but you could easily use this yarn for bath mats or even super open summer tops, comes in a cone! http://www.dmccreative.co.uk/Products/Crochet-Collection/Hoooked-Zpagetti/~/media/UK_images/New%20Pages/Z%20yarns/Z_yarns.ashx?mw=388
