RDYARNS Arrives at Mont Tricot and knitting is no longer the same

RDyarns comes in different packaging ;-)

Today we had an excellent delivery unlike any other we have recieved. From the moment we got the boxes, I knew there was something different. No other yarn arrived with fun little drawings and scribbles.

When I opened that box, my jaw dropped open and seriously thought I might start hyperventilating. The colours are to die for and the softness of the merino is oooh so yummy. I quickly thought of the don't squeeze the charmin commercials not that you would want to be using this yarn on your bum ;-)

This yarn is 100% merino fingering yarn in 225 yard skeins. It has been handpainted by none other than fibre artist and world renowned creator of hand dyed yarn, Richard Devrieze in Ontario. To top it all off, the merino fingering yarn is machine-washable. Come see these delicious yarns and colourways at Mont Tricot. Available soon in our online boutique.

I can't actually wait to try it out. The difficulty will be in choosing the colour!! I want to knit with all of them!! I know my knitting just won't be the same once I start knitting with it. Stay tuned for lots of project suggestions in the upcoming days!!!

15 COLOURS AVAILABLE - 15 COULEURS DISPONIBLE

Based on the principles of Fair Trade. By purchasing these natural, precious qualities you are supporting the children of the Peruvian shepherds. Add to this the winning designs of Jane Ellison and you have an unbeatable combination.

"Sampa" from Mirasol is naturally dyed, 100% organic cotton which is certified. Available in a cascade of solid shades, "Sampa" is produced in a remote region of Peru with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of this yarn going directly to education of the shepherd's children. This organic cotton fiber is commonly used for throws, pullovers, cardis, boleros as well as for baby blankest, hoodies and booties. 

  Leafy Baby Blanket (takes 8 balls) It’s a lace pattern that uses left and right slanting decreases on both right and wrong side rows. The pattern has both charted and written instructions.

 Yggdrasil Afghan (9 balls used)
An afghan worked from the center out, beginning with a square panel. Borders are worked out from the center, allowing for three sizes in the pattern—baby blanket, afghan, and large counterpane bedspread. Cables, grafting, and charts.
Lisa Jacobs draws on the myth of the World Tree to pattern the Yggdrasil Afghan. A central grove of four trees grows into braided and leaf lace patterned borders -- as in the old Norse stories, all things are interconnected.

This gorgeous shawl knits up quick and easy!










Tussie Mussie

We usually call the purl side of a garment the wrong side. In this sweater, it's the right side. There's a humble beauty to reverse stockinette, enhanced here with a nosegay stitch pattern.

Woodland, part of the Verde Collection of environmentally conscious yarns, is a combination of wool and environmentally-friendly nettles. Each of these fibers takes the dye differently, giving both the neutral and vibrant colors of Woodland a heathered look.
Nettles are a perennial and require low levels of water and little or no pesticides. Nettle fibers are similar to linen and hemp but produce a softer, silkier fabric. Nettles show color well and when mixed with wool add lightness, minimize shrinkage, and are breathable.

Regular Price $10 per ball
Prix Regulier: $10 par balle

Turtle Cowl

•  Druidess Beret  (2 balls needed) This slouchy beret is knit in dk yarn and features a cable and bobble pattern. The beret is worked from the bottom up, with a cabled ribbing band that becomes the cable pattern in the body of the hat.

• Turtle Cowl (3 balls needed) This cowl begins with a ribbing, to keep it close to the neck, and then increases to an unusual lace pattern that drapes well. The ribbing pulls the lace in at the top, giving the piece a gentle A-line shape without any shaping in the lace section. Woodland could not be more perfect for this project because it has body to help the cowl stand up and it blocks beautifully.

• 

  Woodland Shawlette

•  Woodland Shawlette (4 balls) To keep shoulders warm until the furnace stops running, this triangular shawl designed by Brenda Lavell in Woodland, is the perfect choice.
