We’re reviewing new yarns here at A Yarn Tale.   We thought it might be fun to showcase new yarns for the season as they come in and talk about why we like them, why we picked them, and give you some ideas about what you might do with them.

Next up: Rowan British Sheep Breeds Boucle.  I am dreaming of what do with this yarn and having a hard time choosing which one because I keep thinking of ideas.

This yarn is a super soft cuddly yarn that is wonderfully sheepy, but not rough and scratchy because it’s made from wonderful Bluefaced Leicester wool.

I'm leaning toward this one. Super cozy right?

So many possibilities with this yarn that knits up at about 2-2.5 stitches per inch. However it only comes in one lovely creamy color, Ecru.  This is the natural wool color and it’s beautiful.

Even though its a boucle, it still works great for cables.

All of these patterns are found in a new book this season from Rowan called Purelife Autumn.

This would be a quick knit and a great wearable piece.

Also thinking of this for a great cuddly hat, leg warmers or how about a fabulous knit toy! Buy it here.
