DECEMBER NEWS

DECEMBER NEWS Christmas is coming so all of the adverts on T.V. tell us, but here at Purlessence customers have been buying yarn for months furiously knitting, crocheting and sewing gifts for Christmas. Lots of ladies have been knitting like crazy with Scarf yarns. We have a great selection of scarf yarns i.e. Cancan/Cancan Glitz, Triana/Triana Lux, Cha Cha Cha, Ruffles, Starlights, Pompom, Shaggy, Tango Glitz, Rizos, Big Bamboo, Loopy, Mini Pompom, Romano Chunky and Garland. Our Ladies have not just been using Cancan/Cancan Glitz for scarves, they have also been making frilly handbags which look amazing and at £9.99 it’s great value for money especially as one of the main stores in the city are selling a very similar bag for £65.00!!! We have just taken delivery of the following: Rico Big Moment, a 200g ball with a massive 480m of yarn. It is 67% Acrylic/14% Wool/10% Polyester/9% Mohair and knits up lovely. Paula has knitted the Wrap knitting pattern for Big Moment that appeared in a recent Woman’s Weekly – it’s worth doing girls as you can wear the wrap in many ways - £14.50 per ball. Adriafil Soffio Plus, a 50g ball that knits up to DK and which is 50% Acrylic/40% Mohair/10% Wool, a combination that is so soft and a joy to work with. We have ten colours: Pale Lemon, Black, Pale Blue, Navy, Pale Pink, Burgundy, Grey, Green, Cream and Purple. There is lots of yardage so it goes a long way – approximately 6 balls for a garment - £3.50 per ball. Adriafil Zephir 50, a 100g ball of lovely Lace weight yarn with 1200metres of yarn to play with. It’s a 50% Wool/50% Acrylic mix in Burgundy, Blue, Cream and Green. Come on lads and lasses, time for some shawl knitting. You would easily get a shawl out of one ball and at £5.50 per ball – it’s a BARGAIN!!!! King Cole Galaxy, a luscious 50g ball of yarn that has sequins sewn on to it. Both Dulcie and Paula have played and knitted hats with it (using less than one ball would you believe!!) and love it!! We have all of the colours including the new winter Red, Purple and Fuschia. £3.50 per ball. Adriafil Kid Mohair, a luxury 50g ball with 230m. It is 80% Mohair/20% Nylon. Now ladies, if you love Kidsilk Haze, you will love this especially as it is only £5.50 per ball. Sirdar Bohemia, an easy knit scarf yarn in 6 lovely colours. It is 66% acrylic and 34 % wool. 100g and 45m. Dulcie has knitted a scarf in this using 15mm and NOT 20mm as the pattern stated, she said it’s lovely to knit with and only takes a couple of hours to knit a scarf so instant gratification for just £8.50 per ball!! New Patterns, we are constantly updating our patterns from Sirdar, King Cole, Stylecraft, UKHKA, Patons, Rico, Rowan and Adriafil. So whatever pattern you require, please call us and we are happy to post it to you and the same applies for yarn.
