Crystal Palace Panda Cotton

I spent today getting to know some of the newer yarns in the store.  I needed a store sample of the Crystal Palace Panda Cotton.  I now have a very pretty sample of lace and the start of a sock.  Panda cotton is more stretchy than you would picture cotton to be.  It has 25% nylon content.  The color changes are very quick so there is no pooling potential in your usual plain vanilla sock.  A lace pattern shows nicely, even with the color changes.  One of the nicest parts of this yarn store starting is being able to try lots of different yarns.  The hardest part might be choosing which color to start with.  Come on by if you need a new project for Fall.   We have lots of interesting patterns and yarns to start out on.
