Wow! Vicuña

Wow! Vicuña

It has been many years since we’ve seen any Vicuña yarn at TNNA. The vicuña is one of two wild camelids in South America, related to the alpaca. It is said that Vicuña fiber is the softest and silkiest in the world, and I cannot disagree. It is also very warm, which is of course how the Vicuñas survive in the Andes.

Read more about these amazing animals here.

The fiber itself is very rare– there are not many animals, they are wild and have to be gently caught to be sheared. The fiber itself has to be manually picked over to remove the guard hairs, which is very labor intensive.

Naturally, this means that Vicuña yarn is quite expensive, and we were quite surprised to see some available.

Try A New Yarn: Cyber Monday–hope you’ll visit us!

Wow! Cyber Monday!  This is supposed to be the day when those of you are still shopping on Monday, but online, make everything great for us online retailers.  But we do have a very special deal for you to try something new or just treat yourself for getting all that holiday shopping done!

It’s the Fifth (and last) day of the Try a New Yarn promotion from Handknitting.com.  Today’s Buy One Get One Half off coupon is for the yummiest new yarns from Lang:  Aiko, a multi-purpose chunky yarn,   and a great extension of Alpaca SuperLight, Lang Alpaca SuperLight Lamé.

       Aiko:  Use the coupon code    AIKOLUX     Lux because this is truly a luxury yarn.   One look at this yarn and you will be wondering where it has been all your life!  This yarn is a combination of so many desirable qualities:  fast and easy to knit, a little bit of haze from some mohair, depth of color and texture.  You will love it–try it now!

Alpaca SuperLight Lamé:  Use the coupon code OOHLALA

    You can use this beautiful yarn for any lace weight pattern that has a large enough gauge to handle the halo, or substitute for any pattern for Alpaca SuperLight in any of the Fatto à Mano books.  A fabulous addition to the Lang yarn line-up.  For those of you who like to experiment, this yarn is a great carry-along for a plain yarn.  The colors coordinate with all the other Lang yarns, so pair it with Alpaca SuperLight for a chunky knit, or with Aiko for a bulky.  Make yourself a one of a kind masterpiece!

This coupon will allow you to buy 2 skeins of  these yarns, with the second skein at half price.  You may mix colors, and you may use the coupon as many times as you wish.

GOOD TODAY (11/28/2011) ONLY.
