Whilst I'm feeling sorry for myself, full of a head cold, shivering in a NZ Winter, I need to remember that not everyone is feeling the cold. 'Up North' the Spring is making way for Summer & those in equatorial or tropical climes only fluctuate between wet & dry. So part in homage to those who live in these locales & in remembrance to my recent (but now seems like a distant memory) holiday to a South Pacific island, I thought I would get busy & load up a selection of beautiful, plush, soft, easy wear easy care cottons we have in store. These are pure
Egyptian Cottons which are totally squish-tastic - we have had the Naked Cream available for some time (currently sold out - but on order), but we also have 3 neutral shades & 2 gelato shades. They are amazing value as they come on 125gm 'wheels' with a massive 225m per wheel.

Cotton is perfect for warmer climates as it provides light coverage & is easy to wear & wash. A quick Ravelry
Search unearthed a variety of patterns, from bags, cloths & wraps, to baby designs or quickly whipped up tee's. My personal favourite was Iced (pictured top) published in
Knitty Fall 2010. A versatile jacket that would work up quickly & easily become a front of the wardrobe pick. I would do mine in Silver, but you could also lengthen the jacket to make a short robe to wear after the shower or by the pool.

So if you are looking for some knitting to do over your 'Summer' break - check out our cheeky cottons.
