Charcoal and Grape

New Yarn

New Yarns
By popular demand we now have our own beautiful charcoal boucle. 80% alpaca and 20% merino -the colour is definitely now.
We have been tweaking the colour of the Grape Boucle, which is now back to our original tones, with the rich grape highlights over the natural black/brown base. Looking good. I can't wait to knit it.
