Rose Pink, Electric Blue, Canary Yellow and Pumpkin Orange are all welcome additions and we're sure you have a key project this year that will deserve a bold and intense colour such as these.
Mercerised cottons are popular for their finish and lustre but also for it's strength and how successfully it dyes, which is how we've achieved these intense shades. Knitshop's mercersied come in fabulous ranges of colours from primary colours to more unusual colours that can really help make knitting and crochet projects more personal and bespoke.
We offer around 15 shades in the cotton 4ply including scarlet, leaf green, coral pink and silver. These new colours will certainly war-up the collection and the shop is certainly bursting with colour at the moment!
Rose Pink
This light and yet hearty pink is ideal for girl projects from baby knits to girls hats, boleros, and more. The girls here are loving the pink option, of course, and we have a variety of projects underway with this pink cotton involved. We suggest blending it with the Pumpkin Orange.
Electric Blue
We know this blue will be used widely within projects as it is bang on trend this 2012. A very bold yarn, if you're not confident about using this within projects, perhaps think about using it as a stripe and not a block colour. We think this would be suitable for many of Susan Crawfords vintage knit patterns found in A Stitch In Time volume I and II.
Pumpkin Orange
Another trendy colour for the season, we just love this new addition. Almost sour, this again is intense and bold but fantastic to brighten darker shades such as greys, silvers and charcoals. A very uni-sex colour, we think it's an all round success!
Canary Yellow
Who does not like yellow? This is such a beautiful shade of yellow, it takes all the best of yellow and pours it all onto this cotton. Bright, intense, cheerful, what more do you want for a yarn. We suggest Tropicana by Just Call me Ruby.
The mercerised cotton 4ply is sold in pull out skeins of 50grams at just £3.90 for each ball!
Cotton Special offer:
£2.90 per ball if you buy 20 per colour or more. And £3.00 off if you buy 10 per colour online!
Keen to get stuck in and use these new yarns? We have a perfect pattern for you. The Lily Jacket pattern is available instore and soon online. A girly jacket, all the girls here are desperate to use the Rose Pink!
The Lily Jacket pattern designed by Meg Crowther from the knitshop.co.uk was first seen in Knit Magazine last year. We've been inundated with keen knitters writing in with images of their Lily Jacket project knitted up with our Mercerised cotton. Julieta's colour choice: bordeaux, oyster and pastel pink, making the jacket rather smart-looking. We're keen for more knitters to try their hand at the pattern and incorporate the new yarns.
Best of luck with the 4ply mercersied cotton!
