look what the cat dragged in!! the new SPECIAL ISSUE of Interweave Knits Crochet. It is AMAZING!

ADDENDUM ....

my apologies, the Big Print is $6.75/ball, not $4.80. sorry!

Big print is a great yarn for kids to learn how to knit with. It is very colourful (very important for kids), very affordable, fully washable, and the perfect gauge for little hands - it goes great with the kids knitting needles for 4 bucks
