The latest Opal Yarns have started to trickle through Customs and I'm happy to share that we expect that by the end of the week we'll have all these new collections to share with you!
First, the new Schafpate collection. This is the 16th year for this sheep-to-shop completely German produced yarn.
It's named the "Portrait Series" and each color is named after one of the sponsored sheep. Cute, right?
The next 4ply collection is named Favorite Place. Each color inspired by what might be your favorite place to knit, relax or explore.
Then there's the newest 6ply DK collection named Festival. I features bright, addictive self patterns on the yarn base that's 50% thicker than the normal 4 ply. And it comes in 150g balls, so there's still over 400 yards, which is perfect for large feet like mine.
Even though it's been nearly 50 degrees here in Indiana, I just can't seem to get warm, so I'm in great need of this next collection.... the rare 8ply worsted weight sock yarn. I really, really like these colors and I can't wait to see 11431 and 11435 in person. I love the colors in 11431, but I love the gradient rainbow stripes of 11435. I hope they are as vivid in color as these posters show!
I do hope these arrive by the end of the week, because I would love to spend the first weekend of the new year knitting one of these. Wouldn't you?
Yes! Opal is still one of my go-to yarns. Look forward to these being in stock!

I am still finishing a gift from last Christmas. It’s really turning out nicely but difficult. It took me four days to get it on the needles. Mistakes and plied yarn. But my friend will love it.
