New Manos Alegria Superpool Kits! | |
|
Manos Alegria is a Superwash Merino/Polyamide sock yarn from our dear friends at Manos del Uruguay. The Alegria Superpool Kits come with one 100 gram unique dyed skein that yields stripes and pools, as well as a 20 gram mini skein dyed in a coordinating color for heels and toes.
They're obviously designed for socks, but we think a hat, a cowl, or a shawl would be wonderful with this yarn!
| The Racimo Cowl, shown here, is made with just one skein of Alegria! It's knit flat then seamed. You can edge it in the alternate color, or add color stripes throughout the piece. Let your creativity run! We think the pooling would be very interesting, understanding we haven't knit it. Life is an adventure, right? | |

Hand-Dyed throw kits from Mountain Colors | | |
|
|
Hand-dyed in Montana by our friends at Mountain Colors, these throw kits are made up of a variety of yarns to achieve a soft, beautiful texture. You can knit or crochet these fabulous throws as they come with 2 knit patterns, and a crochet pattern. The patterns support a wide variety of skill levels, so we know you can do it!
We were back ordered for a long time for these special kits, so if you see one you like, we suggest getting it before they sell out.
We know you'll love them!

Berroco Renew is an eco friendly yarn made from recycled wool, cashmere, and nylon. It also contains sustainably produced viscose. (Viscose, as you probably know, is fiber made from plants)
It's so soft and luxurious, you'll forget how environmentally friendly and value priced it is.
Ludlow, the beautiful cabled wrap shown here, is knit with 5 balls of Renew. And, it's free! Never knit cables before? It's easier than you think! Contact us if you'd like to schedule a lesson on-line or in person.

This beautiful cowl is a simple K2, P2 rib stitch and takes just two skeins of Madara, a soft, tweedy yarn from Noro that is a delightful blend of Alpaca, Silk, and Wool. Madara gives you that classic tweed look without the scratch factor of a traditional tweed.
| Buy 2 skeins of Noro Madara and ask us for a free copy of the Veronika Cowl pattern! | |
Would you rather use Silk Garden, one of Noro's original yarns? The same pattern with a slightly different stitch pattern can be made using 4 skeins of Silk Garden! For even more fun, use different color ways in one cowl for an even richer color story! | Buy 4 skeins of Noro Silk Garden or Noro Silk Garden Solo and ask for a free copy of the Veronika Cowl pattern! | | |
|
A very similar and also easy to knit cowl is made for just one ball of Noro Ito, a colorful and beautiful wool yarn that comes in a huge 200 gram ball! | Buy just one skein of Noro Ito and ask for a free copy of the 09 Color Rave Cowl pattern! | | |
|
|
Noro Malvinas is a pure blend of 100% merino wool from La Islas Malvinas in the Falkland islands off the coast of Argentina. It works up to the same stitch gauge as many popular Noro yarns such as Ito, Silk Garden, Kureyon, and Madara. It comes in a range of brilliant colors that are also found in many of your favorite Noro color ways.
This beautiful blanket is crocheted with 6 balls of Malvinas.
| Buy 6 skeins of Noro Malvinas and ask us for a free copy of the Koko Circle Blanket! | |

The time has come for the next chapter in our lives. We’re looking for the next owner of the Ball & Skein. Yes, the shop is for sale.
Don't expect huge changes right away. And yes, new yarn is still coming in. We're still here and committed to providing the same quality of service as always.

In 2009 we took a big chance and moved from our beloved neighborhood just outside Boston to run a yarn shop in a small town on the coast of California. It’s been an amazing experience, full of memories we will treasure for the rest of our lives.
We’re grateful for each and every one of you that have supported the shop for all these years and we hope the legacy of the Ball & Skein continues for many years to come. It’s been a great pleasure to be a part of one of the oldest, and we feel, most loved shops in the country.
We've been amazed at the interest we've received already! But remember, even if someone said "Yes" today we expect this process will take some time, so fear not, we're still here to serve you!
If you, or someone you know, is interested in being a larger part of this history, please contact us at info@cambriayarn.com
Thank you one and all.
Kris and Oz
