Now that Winter is definitely upon us,  it is the perfect time to think about using wool. Knitting is a lovely pastime and a very fulfilling when you have a beautiful finished garment. You can knit for the family, or make things to send as gifts as Christmas is approaching us. You can hand pick your Wool and Patterns here at Calico Laine as we have just introduced a section where you can see a popular selection of different patterns for babies, children and adults in a range of different designs to suit all different tastes. We try to cater for all of your Wool needs and have a choice of Double Knitting, Aran Wool, Baby Wool and Chunky Wool so depending on what sort of pattern you are using, you will find the perfect wool for you.... If you are wanting a luxuriously soft and warm wool, the Chunky would be an ideal choice! We have a selection of different finishes and colours with one of my personal favourites being the 'Life Super Chunky' in Damson which is a beautiful mix of purples and mauves to really warm up your outfit! This wool is made from 75% acrylic and 25% wool and is available in 100 g balls. Using this wool with the Knitting Pattern 8648 is a perfect combination, which will not only keep you warm through these colder months, you will also look very stylish! Of course we have many different wools to choose from in some wonderful colour choices so come and have a look at our new and improved section! We also have Knitting Needles in a variation of different sizes and our Knitting Accessories section is full to the brim of everything you need whether you are a beginner or an accomplished knitter!
