|  The Bite
Delving into the details of your next knitting project? Before you needle one more moss stitch border diamond, grab a skein of yarn from Lorna's Laces new Green Line. The yarns are made from naturally dyed, 100%-certified organic merino wool that's softer than the regular stuff, and comes in nine cool colors with feel-good names like mirth (dusty pink) and courage (deep orange). Plus it's pesticide-free and more renewable than its synthetic counterparts - and hip enough to show off at our local stitch 'n' bitch. The verdict? More knitty, less gritty. |
| | Wanna Try? | | Arcadia Knitting, 1613 W. Lawrence Ave. b/t Paulina St. and Ashland Ave. (773-293-1211). Lorna's Laces worsted wool, $21/skein; DK wool, $16/skein. |
