Woolworks news for October

This is the time of year when knitters and crocheters think about the holidays and what they can make for loved ones. We have lots of ideas for you. Many new yarns for the season are arriving weekly if not daily. Here's the short list:
Cricket from Reynolds is a 52% rayon/48% wool, 5 sts/inch on a 5. (dk). This has a lovely subtle sheen and the rayon adds a nice touch and drape.
Marble now is available in baby colors in dk weight as well. Nice colors in all varieties, yardage is great and the price even better, wash and dry acrylic.
Kertzer Northern worsted acrylic machine wash/dry. 16 colors.
Kertzer Northern chunky acrylic, machine wash/dry, 8 colors.
Mission Falls 136 dk merino. Love this stuff. 14 fabulous colors.
Lana loft from BrownSheep is a 100% wool worsted/aran in 3 natural colors. Many more available. Ask to see the color cards.
Paradise from Nashua, 48% wool/40% baby alpaca/4%nylon. worsted weight in 7 lovely jeweltone colors.
On-Line supersock 100, 420 meters of sweet self patterning yarn so everyone can think you worked really hard on those socks. Wonderful colors, 8 to choose from.
New needle cases from Lantern Moon. Gorgeous silks.
Mini Mochi sock yarn from Crystal Palace is a very fun brighter self striping yarn with just a little more 'wooly-ness' for those that love winter socks. Fingering weight 195 yds and 12 colors to choose from. Makes a great hat or baby surprise sweater as well.
MMMMMM Malabrigo...chunky, worsted and sock! Yummy colors all here for the touching. Have to touch this stuff. This is a very popular yarn and hard to get from Uraquay. The fantasic cabled poncho in the window is made from this by Kim Mitchell. It's like wearing your favorite blanket.
Just in this week, to add to the chunky or bulky section, is Lei, a very nice merino. Come check out the super chunky, fast knit, cabled scarf/wrap. This is very soft and warm not to mention the latest in the fashion magazines.

We have a class on the jacket/kimono that I had published in the latest Knit N Style magazine. This is on Friday nights 6-8pm. There is still room.

Want to make socks? How about toe up? Two at a time? Tues at 10am. Join us.

yarny goodness from the State of Colorado.

blurry but yummy just the same, more sock yarn! Like I need more!



Lovely alpace/merino sock yarn and one of a kind dyed chunky for a lucious reversible cabled scarf.





Even the flowers were surprised!











This was the snowiest day! The flowers were in full end of season bloom, they didn't even have time to go by before the snow flew! The cows were huddled together and these had just ambled across the street in front of us, if we were going any faster we wouldn't have been able to stop.



Colorado Pictures for your perusal.

Above picture is up on Pikes Peak, left is Garden of the Gods with a rainstorm coming in.
to the right is scenery on the road. One of the Seven Falls, Flowers in a snowstorm in Breckenridge, and a lake on Pikes Peak.



Garden of the gods, more snow covered mountains, and the Yarn Studio where we met Kathy, the owner. We had a lovely time and have hundreds of pictures. We met some very wonderful people. God is amazing! and we only put 1200 miles on the rental car, imagine if we could see the rest of the state!

Come in and see the changes!

I have yet again moved things around. I do this with the help of my friends. I think you'll like the changes. Nice open space, bright and neat. All the books are in spin racks with the covers facing so you can easily see the variety. There are some new yarns in this week and we had to find space for them. Come on in and visit.

Most, if not all of the downtown shops are staying open til around 8pm to encourage all the diners to take a walk before or after dinner and see what Putnam has to offer. If we have to be open we'd might as well knit, right! come and join us, it's free and the air conditioning is on. Bring an Iced coffee or tea and relax we have plenty of chairs.
