|  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. |
