Knitting Kits Now Available at KYBM!

Readers of our newsletter 'Nimble Fingers' were recently given the opportunity to purchase our exclusive 'Pagoda' small handbag pattern as part of a yarn kit. We were overwhelmed by the enthusiastic response of our readers to the new 'Kit' format. As a result, we have now made our 'Pagoda' bag kits available for purchase through our Knitting Yarns By Mail website. Also available now is our Inverloch Cardigan Kit. The 'Inverloch' is a wonderfully cosy, stylish cardigan with ribbed collar, knitted in beautifully soft, multi-tonal Heirloom Picasso brushed mohair yarn. The kit allows you the flexibility to choose your favourite shade of Heirloom Picasso, and comes with seven buttons to complement the shade of yarn you've selected.





















Knitting Kits are perfect for knitters who can't wait to get started; the pattern, yarn and any accessories you will need are all included in your kit. And there's no more running around looking for matching buttons or zips to complete your project (how often do you end up putting your almost-finished work aside for months for want of these final touches?!). It's all delivered right to your door.

We plan to add more knitting kits in the future. To view the kits currently available, visit Knitting Yarns By Mail and select Knitting Kits from the left-hand menu.

New: Heirloom Baby Silk 4ply

4ply knitters will love this latest addition to our range. Heirloom Baby Silk is a blend of 88% wool and 12% silk, making for a smoother, softer handle yet retaining the practicality of being machine washable (a feature which parents and grandparents alike will appreciate). Whilst the palette is ideal for baby knitting, Heirloom Silk Touch is not just for kids! The neutral shades are ideal for adult garments and accessories.


Heirloom Baby Silk is available now from our Knitting Yarns By Mail website.

Now available: Heirloom Silk Touch 8ply

Have a look at this terrific new yarn. Combining 85% fine merino wool with 10% alpaca and 5% silk, Heirloom's Silk Touch is luxury with an affordable price-tag. In a range of refreshingly delectable shades, knitters with an eye for design won't be able to resist.
