Mirasol "Sulka" (Nieuw in de winkel!) (New in our shop)
Some time ago I saw this yarn in a customer's pullover and it looked soo great... Especially the cable's stitch definition was stunning.
The brand is called Mirasol and comes from Peru. Of every purchase a portion is dedicated directly to the funding of a school for the children of the shepherds who provide the wool. This yarn is called "Sulka", feels wonderfully soft and has a tiny bit of silk shimmer. 16 stitches/4 " on 6mm needles. €6,95 per 50 grams, 50 meters.

Beautiful comment from Zimbabwe! Prachtige woorden uit Zimbabwe!
Hi Wilbert!
Horatio is clearly a cat of discernment! You should feature him more often :-) The rug is great! You must have strong hands to wield a 20mm hook!
I wanted to say how impressed my daughter and I were when we came to your shop in early November. It was a Saturday morning, and quite busy, so we didn't have time to chat, but all the shoppers were cheerful, and your service is excellent! I was SO amazed at the incredible range of stock you have! I stood in your shop and wanted to cry my eyes out, because I wanted it ALL! How I WISH we had been able to come to Hoorn at the beginning of our holiday, when my purse was full and my suitcase nearly empty! We had spent two weeks in Limburg, where there is very little going on in the knitting scene.
We came to Hoorn especially to come to your shop, and also paid a visit to the lovely Quilthuis Lieselotje, and I really do hope that I will be able to visit Hoorn again - it is a wonderful town!
In the meantime I will enjoy long-distance visits, through your blog.
Very best regards, Tracy in Zimbabwe
Klaar! Done!
