Greetings Everyone
|
I'm home from Houston and have lots of new fabrics and yarns
to tell you about. Dragons are back! Alexander Henry has two large scale prints with dramatic looking dragons in two colorways - Purple and Orange and Black and Grey.
http://www.shiboridragon.com/AlexanderHenry.htm In the Mandarin collection you'll find Shanghai Dragons in Crimson, Black and Gold. |
|
|
There are lots of new fabrics in the Kona Bay
category. For those of you following the Kona Bay Nobu Geisha collection,
the fabrics selections are posted for November. This is the last selection
in this Nobu group and completes the beautiful collection.

| We have a wonderful new collection of traditional homespun fabrics. These fabrics have muted tones and soft woven textures perfect for garments and quilts. They mix well with Japanese traditional fabrics in greys, indigos and browns. There are solid colors as well and three with thin kimono stripe. | |
|
With cold temperatures on way, think Tropics!
We have a herd of turtles, orcas and blue whales, and a new Hawaiian patchwork.
Just take a look at the Tropical Fabric section. http://www.shiboridragon.com/Tropical-Fabric.htm

In the yarn department we've added a wonderful
fingering weight Shetland yarn. This yarn comes in 8 natural colors and 42
dyed shades. It's prewashed so it has a wonderful soft hand. The
yarn is produced in the United States by Elemental Affects and Judith MacKenzie. http://www.shiboridragonknits.com/Elemental-Affects.htm Also due to arrive this next week are 8 colors of Merino Lace yarn and 7 colors of Debbie Bliss Pure Silk, and 3 new colors of Snuggly Baby Bamboo. I've also added LOTS of yarns to the sale baskets to make room for the new yarn coming in.
