Chunky Bunny Moss Beach
Bungalow Farm has new yarn! Chunky Bunny is a luscious, cushy two ply heavy worsted/chunky yarn blend of 50% German Angora and 50% Rambouillet/Merino wools. The Rambouillet and Merino are both domestic, as is of course, the angora. Spun by Zeilingers. It just came in a few weeks ago, and since then I have been dyeing and knitting like crazy. And designing a few new patterns as well. The cowl, shown below is made with one skein of Chunky Bunny:
Chenilles Laineux Cowl
The Chenilles Laineaux (woolly caterpillars) is a fun, easy to memorize and quick knit. Roomy enough to pull up over your ears on a cold day.
Chunky Bunny is put up in 4 oz. skeins with approximately 265 yards per skein. With a gauge of 3.5 to 4.5 stitches per inch (size 7 to 9 needles), it is quite a versatile yarn.
Another new product we have here is pin roving made with the same blend as Chunky Bunny:
Angora/Rambouillet/Merino Pencil Roving
I haven’t had much time yet to work with this, but it will make a great addition to a felted project. Either as structure or as embellishment. The possibilities are endless!
Both new products will be available at the Lamb Festival in Dixon, October 1. Look for my booth there!
You remind me of my old knitting memories… Nice Post.
Thanks for Sharing.

Did you have a lovely time at the Lamb Festival? What is the weather like in your “neck of the woods” now, Erin? Do you like to knit more in winter than summer-time, or doesn’t it matter?
Kathy, the Lamb Festival was a lot of fun! The weather is lovely. Rain and cold temps last week with a chill in the air! Warming back up though this week. Summer’s last gasp (I hope). But I am off to Ontario again where I hope to see some fall color. I will take knitting with me of course and hope I don’t get delayed or cancelled long enough to make much headway knitting an airport. I like to knit anytime of year, although I have to admit, when it’s really hot knitting isn’t top on my list of things to do.
