Manos Fino Bundle + Shadow Cowl

You might remember that as part of the Zinnia-palooza surrounding last April's Local Yarn Store Day, we had Manos del Uruguay dye up this gorgeous zinnia-themed Fino Mini Skein Kit just for us. They sold out in a heartbeat, but MdU dyed us up another batch, and thanks to your overwhelming demand for it, that batch sold out as well......but we're happy to report that the Haus Zinnia mini-bundle is BACK IN STOCK! Thank you so much for loving this little Haus zinnia-inspired color bundle as much as we do!

Fino is a blend of silk and merino, each bundle has five mini skeins totaling 490 yards of light fingering weight yarn. Each kit contains five 20g-mini skeins of a Merino/silk blend fingering weight and also includes a pattern for the Shadow Cowl (pictured above).

The Haus Zinnia Manos Fino Bundles (along with SEVEN additional gorgeous combos) are available HERE! The pattern for the Shadow Cowl is free with Fino Bundle yarn purchase.

Want more inspiration for the Fino Bundles? Keep scrolling! Although the 3 Color Cashmere Cowl (below) pattern is actually written for, ummm, three colors, we veered outside the lines and knit ours with five (the Beatrix colorway is shown)...it's an easy pattern to change up! Live a little! The Fino Mini Bundles have more than enough yardage for you to play around with placement of color and we've got eight different bundle options in-stock and ready for you to get your hands on!

 

New and Re-Stocked!

  • Marking a reference point: Progress keepers can be used as a reference point to mark a specific place in your work 
  • Keeping a stitch safe: A progress keeper can be attached to a stitch to keep it from unraveling

New! The latest issue of Noro Magazine has hit our shelves. This one contains thirty-two patterns; mostly sweater patterns (knit and crochet!) but there are a few hat, throw, and shawl patterns as well. You can preview the available patterns HERE! We're especially smitten with the Tabard Short Story pattern, knit using Silk Garden Solo. Short Story features deep ribbed hems and side ties, making this a quick and easy topper to wear year-round as temperature dictates.
