One of our customers recently purchased some Zealana Heron yarn and just sent me pictures of her work. Isn't that gorgeous? I love the cables in this short bolero shrug and the clever use of short rows for the sleeves.  Zealana Heron is a DK/worsted weight yarn spun from 80% Merino and 20% brushtail possum. 

Faye sent us this beautiful photo of her latest work - a cardigan made with Rellana Diamant.  Faye said the cardigan is beautiful to wear and easy to care for - machine washable! Thank you so much for sharing, Faye! Pro Tip: Rellana Diamant yarn is a cotton yarn blended with viscose. Viscose is a natural material made from woody fibres such as bamboo, sugar cane or soy. Viscose yarns were 'invented' in the late 1800s as artificial silk. They look beautiful but depending on how they were manufactured, these yarns can be prone to splitting. Use sharp needles for Rellana Diamant as this...
