Kumara by Classic Elite — Free Pattern and Gift Idea

One of my favorite yarns I saw when I was in Columbus OH earlier this year at our yarn retailers meeting TNNA, was Kumara by Classic Elite.  I could not stop smoothing this yarn as I walked around the show and found myself coming back to it again and again as I poured through my samples upon returning to the shop.
It’s now on the shelves and I think will be a favorite for many of you too.

This yarn is 85% extra fine merino, 15% baby camel with an amazingly marshmellow-y handfeel and lovely bloom, but will also have fabulous stitch definition.  The 50g ball has 128 yards and knits at 4.5 stitches per inch on a U.S. size 9.

To celebrate this yarn, I thought I’d share with you a great quick project and wonderful gift idea that you can surely get done before the holiday season.

Kumara Hand Wamers Free Pattern

These hand warmers only take two balls and are a reasonable little piece of luxury.  If you’ve never knit with Camel fiber before it’s incredibly soft with a micron count as fine as some cashmere’s.  Seriously great yarn!
