Port Market this Sunday

For the Adelaide Fibre Addicts:

Fab new 8ply pure merino in new colours, including: The Loaded Dog, a new lot of McLaren Vale, and misc. florals. You won't want to miss this selection. $20.00AU for 100gm/200m

Lots of new 4ply superwash merino -- for scarves, gloves, and of course, SOCKS. This is a lower-micron count of merino that was custom spun for SIOz. Don't miss this one! I promise pictures updated on the blog as soon as the dyeing is done for the Sock Summit. Yeah -- the shipment has gone to the US -- it is resting comfortably in the show warehouse. But I just couldn't resist dyeing just... one... more dyelot!!!  *laugh* Can't blame a woman for trying!

SIL's new toe up sock in SIOz premium 4ply superwash merino

80/20 Premium Sock Wool in Winter Florals

Premium SIOz 4ply merino wool in dark mermaid colours

There are a few luxury hanks of boucle left from the BSWS -- you have to touch this yarn to believe it! When it's gone, there will be no more of this yarn as the mill has closed. :-(

Ltd supply of the extremely popular Uruguayan lace merino will be at the Port. This is so soft and lovely to knit with. There are still a few hanks in winter florals, in the blue and green range.

Above, new colours of hand-painted Australian merino top -- a superfine 19.5micron version and the regular, everyday type ($20.00 and $15.00 per 100gm). Both are easy to spin and a pleasure to knit and crochet.

Webpage: this is being seriously upgraded to make it easier for customers to order and pay online. Thank you to everyone who has continued to buy, despite the manual mail order process. The webpage may be out of commission from time to time whilst my IT guru programmes all the bits and pieces. Guru = partner Richard. 

Above you will find mataharimau (Ravelry) wearing her gorgeous Caricia knitted in Stranded In Oz Nepalese Singles (McLaren Vale).  She's a fab knitter. I wanted to steal that shawl!!! Thank you for sharing it with me. 

CU at the Port! Melissa
