The yarn is a beautiful fiber, perfect for many knitting and crochet projects due to its resilience, warmth and softness.100% Pure Yak Down100 grams/164 yards, 6ply4 sts per inch/US 9 needleShokay is luxury with a story - one that draws on humanity and inspires purpose in the world of contemporary fashion.Hidden from most of the world by its remote location, Shokay yak down derives its unique origins from the mountainous Himalayan regions of Western China. Our fibers are hand-combed from the yaks that dwell there, whose ancient existences continue to serve as a life source for the Tibetan herders. From this down comes a soft and beaufiful fabric, unlike any other. We aim to source our yak fiber directly from Tibetan herders, enabling them to earn a sustainable living while preserving their traditional lifestyle. A portion of our profits is subsequently returned to these communities to assist the herders with local development needs in areas such as health and education. We believe that by investing and reinvesting our success into the local communities, we ensure the opprotunity of choice fro future Tibetan generations.At Shokay, we strive to bring forth a fresh and stylish fabric to the market in a socially conscious manner. Our philosophy is to dress timeless elegance with a touch of humanity and warmth.Weave Shokay into your world. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=610414 Sat, 10 Oct 2009 06:42:41 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=610410 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=610410"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/29208_product_2004183383_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> I love working in my garden in the summer, but after about 10am it becomes blistering hot.

Maybe the best. I'm bias though. For one thing, spring is finally officially here and the threat of snow storms is just about gone. Flowers are blooming and even better, it's the month of my birthday! There are many fun things to love about the month of April. Another fun thing is Easter, it's a great low key holiday that's all about bunnies and candy :) Who doesn't love plastic eggs filled with candy? I know I sure do! This month's zine is just as packed full of great fun! Projects from weaving to sewing to crochet. The history of the Easter bunny. And if you are interested, some great resources and ideas for Springing into Action with your crafting - crafting for charity is a great way to whittle down your stash and start out your summer projects.
