Shibui recently expanded their color palette for Twig, a unique yarn that has become a staple of our sport weight section.
Twig is a slightly textured, sometimes tweedy blend of 46% linen, 42% recycled silk, and 12% wool. Each 50 gram skein has 190 yards, and it knits up at a sport or dk weight gauge into an open, draping fabric.
Twig has a crisp feel and a plant fiber’s tendency to stretch rather than cling, qualities that make it ideal for warm weather garments and accessories like Shibui’s “Slope” and “Tier,” or Churchmouse’s “Simple Tee.” If you like a little more elasticity, consider holding Twig together with Cima, Lunar, or Pebble, as in Shibui’s “Apex” and “Crete,” or Julie Hoover’s “Wintour.”
Look for Shibui Twig in the sport weight section here at the Hillsborough Yarn Shop – we hope you find inspiration here!

Will be in Saturday or Sunday for the Echo you are holding for me.
Any worsted hat patterns to use Nest in Tyrian?
Julia on said:
Nest is a DK weight, and would make a great hat – here are a few pattern ideas: “Rikke Hat,” “Jul Hat,” “A little lonely cable,” and “Cashmere Beret.” We look forward to seeing you this weekend!
