New Option in Super Baby Alpaca

Eki Riva's pure Super Baby Alpaca is now available in Charcoal Grey, a great choice for both men's and women's garments and accessories.

For those who have never knitted in alpaca, you'll find it's very similar to wool in most respects, with a slightly fluffier finish.   Super Baby Alpaca is far superior, however, in terms of softness of handle, positioning itself between fine merino and cashmere in this regard.

Eki Riva's Alpaca Supreme is perfect for the discerning knitter with quality in mind, and is one of the best pure alpaca products on the market.

Damasco Print finds a new friend!

 

Just added to our Heirloom Damasco Print range is Shade 825, a wonderfully subtle blend of creams and greys.  As one of the best-selling shades of Damasco Print, Shade 825 is perfect for a range of accessories to complement any outfit without overpowering your overall look. 

For those of you who haven't yet experienced the yarn, Damasco Print is a multi-shade 8ply brushed mohair delight imported direct from Italy.  Brushed mohair yarns are fluffy and light in appearance, exhibiting warmth without bulk.  Brushed mohair is great for lacy or other open-weave patterns which allow the fibres to fluff up to their full extent; they're also great for simple beginners patterns without complex patterning, as their innate 'fluffiness' adds interest without the need for complicated stitch combinations.
