One Skein Wonders

Posted by admin in Books

You will love the latest book by Judith Durant, Luxury Yarn One SKein Wonders . It features 101 patterns using a variety of yarn include silk yarn from Tilli Tomas.
	The Merino-and-Glass Love Bag is made from the soft Merino wool of the Tilli Tomas Flurries. The glass beads dress it up and give the purse added flare. You can not go wrong! I picked up the book at my knitting store and am adding it to my knitting library that I keep in the kitchen.
	Using Disco Lights, the Winter Windows Silk Scarf combines the luster from the sheen of the silk and the sparkle from the sequins in the Disco Lights, creating an absolutely beautiful scarf.
