In this issue...explore Universal Yarn Nymph, an irresistibly soft chainette yarn in DK weight. In sampling Nymph yarn, we're knitting a lovely collection of lace pattern swatches which in the end make up a soft lacy blanket! Check out the essential tips that give the blanket a professional finish!

We also dip our knitting needles into sampling five Lion Brand yarns for you: Mandala Baby, Feels Like Butta, Hue and Me, Wool Ease, and Wool Ease thick and quick. Most of these yarns are ideal for knitting winter projects – quickly.

And, we've demystified yarn weights! If you ever thought it confusing how some yarn weights are described, then read Cynthia MacDougall's piece on the many ways of naming yarn. Enjoy the issue!
