 Noro yarn is one of our favorites. Here are some of the samples knit from noro  yarn, including a number knit from sock yarn.  The sarf shown in the first image is an entrelac pattern knit from Kureyon sock yarn, color S185.  It is one of our most popular yarns.  Wendy knit this sample with a 9 block pattern.

All things felted

  There are some fantastic books on how to needle felt. One of my favorites is Embellish, Stitch, Felt by Shelia Smith.  The author covers how to use a variety of fibres & fabrics including wool, fusibles, lutradur, organza silk & cotton scrim. Excellent photographs and samples demonstrate hand needle felting, the use of an embellisher, and step-by-step instructions.
