I still haven't used any KnitPicks yarn, and I decided to get color cards, but they don't have any color cards available for their older yarns anymore! Oh, welll, I'll take the plunge one day.

I am curious about Shine and Merino Style, in particular. They're the right weights for some projects I have in mind. Have you used either? What did you think?

The color cards are back, but hard to find directly. All of them can be found on this page now.

I haven't used Shine yet. It's soft and pretty and looks like it will knit up quite nicely, but I'm not sure how well it will wear compared to something like Tahki Cotton Classic. I bought some Merino Style and it's pretty nice, though I haven't gotten further than a swatch.

Actually, I checked that link (after having looked the other day), and I couldn't find either Merino Style or Wool of the Andes color cards.

Hmm, you are so right! I hope it's just a temporary outage, or maybe they're planning on adding more colors to those and are redoing them?

Stripy sweaters! Those sound like so much fun. Which colors, out of curiosity? And Hyrna Herbogar is beautiful. The scallop designs especially attract me.

The two darker purples, the two greens, and then one of each of the next two rows of colors (the doubles being the deep blue and the red in the middle of said rows)
