Artesano Definition Sock yarn. 75% Merino
The new Artesano Definition Sockyarn arrived here finally yesterday after a 2-month wait! It is beautifully spun for maximum stitch definition for all knit and crochet projects. Really amazing colours which is no surprise from Artesano. Ideal for kids clothes also. It is a blend of machine washable Merino wool (for softness) and 25% polyamide for strength. It comes in 100g hanks which are each 400m long so most sock and small projects can be made from one hank. There is also pattern support with sock patterns and accessories. This yarn is also ideal for children’s garments, being soft and strong. In short, a really versatile yarn.

Michael "T" Higgins knitted tea cosy
This little guy was designed and made by Veronica Costello who very kindly lent it to us for the duration of our Tea Cosy Competition. Veronica gave one to the President and apparently he loves it!
You could visit him and, at the same time, come and view the over 60 tea / caffetiere / mug cosies which were entered. They were knitted, crocheted, felted, sewn and the imagination and craftsmanship exhibited is astounding! We would love it if you would vote for your favourite – we have voting cards here in the shop. All the proceeds of the competition go to St Brigid’s NS.
