Has anyone else heard of this> I tried to go to the Lion Brand website and couldn't find it. I did see in the lastest Vogue Knitting, so maybe it's due out by the winter?

Hmmm. I don't see Organic Cotton either. If a new pattern is calling for it, it must be a new yarn that they're bringing out.

I hope they make some sportweight non-novelty wool and maybe bring back Cotton-Ease or some equivalent!

They are going to bring back Cotton Ease, but don't think it's the same as Organic Cotton. Unless they've renamed it and since it's part acrylic, that's not too organic....

I did find this the other day. The site says it'll be available late November. Hope this helps!

That yarn is really nice, thank you for the info. But I am not sure if anyone noticed the other new yarns from Lion Brand. They are way too expensive, for me anyways.

OK, so the first and the last are 39.95 a skein and 19.95 for the middle. I heard that that is actually a pretty good price considering that the cashmere is 5 ply. I don't know, I'm sure it looks great once knitted. I'd like to see what patterns they attach to it though!
