Knitter's Review May 5, 2005 At the beginning of this year, Knit Picks rocked the knitting world when it bypassed its vendors, went straight to the mills, produced its own yarn, and offered it directly to knitters at stunningly low prices. The company recently released its second batch of yarns, this time focusing on warm-weather cotton blends and novelties. I was eager to get a closer look and see if Knit Picks' winning streak would continue. Join me for an in-depth review of Shine, a supersoft cotton blend that is the anchor for Knit Picks' summer yarns.        In the KR Boutique: Gift Enclosures Do your knitterly gifts justice.
