I'm really loving the colors of the heather merinos also, and I like the way they knit up so light in a sweater. Almost no weight to them at all. Makes them an easy sweater to have around. I tend to like the natural fibers moreso than the man made blends with the exception of the cotton combos. Theres nothing like a pair of soft wool or cotton socks to make you feel loved.; ▶ Reply to This

I'm not finding it in your catalog now, I'm hoping it's not gone for good.; ▶ Reply to This

I didn't think of a baby sweater but I'll bet it's GORGEOUS! You have to post a picture somewhere!; ▶ Reply to This

All of the colors are on clearance until we sell out of them, so it's a good time to stock up. Also, we will be releasing some new yarns in the spring.; ▶ Reply to This
