Anzula

 Over the summer we fell in love with Anzula's Wash My Lace and Breeze yarns.  We are excited to introduce more of their yarns into our shop!  

 Oasis is a sport to dk weight blend of  70% silk/ 30% camel and 375 yards per 100 gram skein.  The combination makes the yarn light and soft, yet still warm.  The beautiful hand dyes create a gorgeous tonal effect that would show off well in lace to plain stockinette.  The silk gives this yarn wonderful drape, great for shawls or cardigans. 

 Colors clockwise from top left: Coco, Olivia, Emerald and Shiitake.

 Clockwise from top left: Curry, Arizona, Aurora and Avocado.
