Sometimes our life gets crazy and we feel like we are spiralling in circles. What better way to face these times than to wrap a luxurious alpaca spiral boa around your neck. Life may be crazy, but you'll look and feel so good that you'll take on the challenges with style!
This boa is deceptively simple and works up quickly. Don't let the large number of stitches in the last few rows daunt you. You'll be through them in no time!
Finished size is approximately 150 cm (60") long.
This kit is available in an array of both natural and hand dyed colours.
My motto in designing this shawl was the KISS principle - Keep It Simple Silly. Sometimes, we just want a no-brain project to keep our hands busy while we sit watching TV, listening to music or enjoying our family and friends. The end result though, is a lovely shawl that feels as good as it looks, thanks to glorious alpaca. This shawl is made with our Moore House Premier 2-ply Sport yarn, a gorgeous blend of 85% alpaca and 15% bamboo.
You are offered a choice of patterns. The simplest is the main body knitted in easy garter stitch. If you are a bit more adventuresome or desire a fancier shawl, try your hand at adding some eyelets. Instructions for both are included in the pattern.
Prices (tax incl.) $27 Natural fawn $29 Hand painted colours (black, grey, rich burgundy - all gorgeous)

"Elegance-in-a-Day" Easy Lace Scarf
Intermediate (Beginner Lace)
One of our most popular kits...........
Nothing says "Elegance" quite like beautiful lace and when it is made from luxurious alpaca and wrapped around your neck, you especially feel like a prima donna! The beauty of this pattern is that it is deceptively simple and the scarf works up so quickly that it satisfies the craving for instant gratification. Choose the narrow width for a scarf that works as a lovely accessory to evening wear or day wear. The wide width is typical of the size of most scarves worn with coats and jackets. Either size will add elegance to your day or night! Choose either our Moore House Royale Lace Yarn which is a luxurious blend of our alpaca with silk or our Moore House Premier Lace which is 100% very fine alpaca. Either yarn is pure heaven!

The wavey design of these socks was inspired by my daughter Elizabeth, who as a younger child, loved the dizzying past-time of jumping in the waves at the beach! Now she is a "too cool" teenager who has traded in the beach waves for "so cool" wavey socks!
The rippley pattern in these socks is nicely accentuated by the striping effect of our MH handpainted yarns. With so many colour ways from which to choose, you too can make a fashion statement in "so cool" socks while your feet enjoy the incredible warmth and comfort of alpaca!
We offer this yarn in a multitude of colourways (too many to list here). Please specify your preference and we'll do our best to accomodate your wishes!

Garter Rib Comfort Socks
Intermediate (Beginner Sock)
These top down socks are made with either Moore House Classic Wooly Sock yarn (60% wool/20% alpaca/20% nylon) or Moore House Majestic North Sock yarn (70% alpaca/15% merino/15% bamboo). They are a cinch to make and are ideal for those who are embarking on the sock knitting voyage for the first time. The garter stitch rib is a little faster to knit up than a traditional k2p2 or k1p1 rib sock since every other round is completely knit, yet the garter rib preserves the needed elasticity. Your feet will love to be cuddled up in these socks wherever they are put to work whether it be out hiking, working outside, or carrying out more domestic pursuits about the house!
Please specify Colour and Size.

Walking the dog or gathering your mail on a frosty winter's day was never so cozy or fashionable! Because this headband is worked in the round, it is very comfortable as there is no irritating seam. The added bonus of course is that there are no seams to stitch or graft later!

Sliding your hand into a pair of thrummed mittens made with bits of alpaca roving is heaven... amazingly toasty and the alpaca adds pure luxury! Thrumming, a knitting technique used in Atlantic Canada, uses wisps of unspun fleece or roving, called thrums, that are knit into your project at regular intervals. The ends of the thrums are kept inside the mitten forming a fluffy inner lining that felts with wear. This helps the mittens form to your hands and gives your hands a cozy refuge in especially cold weather.
Our thrum mitt kits contain enough hand-dyed Moore House lopi alpaca blend yarn (70% alpaca/30% wool) and Moore House carded alpaca (100% alpaca) to make either size Small (ages 8-teen), Medium (Ladies), or Large (Mens).
Please specify Colour and Size. (Colours of yarn and thrums may be interchanged.)
