| If you have been away from knitting for a few years you will be in for a big surprise. The synthetic yarns look nothing like what they looked like years ago. When synthetics first appeared the research was directed towards keeping the look and feel of wool yarn but produce a yarn which was more tolerable to home washing. Those yarns are still on our shelves but we will show you a few of the "new look" in knitting. | ||

| Some Scarves from the New Yarns | |
 |
 |
| Scarves made from some of the new yarns have been very popular with both young and old. The knitting with such large needles (#10-15) makes an easy knitting project as it takes so few stitches to make a scarf. They are popular with beginners because the mistakes are almost impossible to find. | |
