Woolworks news for December
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. It's like wearing your favorite blanket. This makes great snowborder, earflap style hats. Also Magnum from Cascade is available for a one skein hat or scarf in a super light bulky yarn.
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.
Want to make socks? How about toe up? Two at a time? Tues at 10am. Join us. We will be starting a Great American Afghan class soon. I will post or you may call the shop. It will be sometime after the Holidays.
Sale of the week for Dec 14-19....Tweeds, any and all weights and fibers. We have tons! bulky, worsted, alpaca blends, wool, wool/acrylic blends, all beautiful and tweeds are really 'in' right now! Come in today and plan your relaxing project for after the holiday rush! You'll be glad you did and you'll save 25%. How can you loose?
Here we go again. All the fall yarn that was ordered in the spring and summer (that I forgot about) is coming in now. I just received a large order from Knitting Fever. Lots of Noro, Debbie Bliss in colors I didn't have and new yarns like Eco wool and Big Softee. Got some Ella Rae too. Really nice stuff. It's all in the back room as there is no room out in front. I do have a 50% off sale right now that some have already benefited from. Lots to go in closeout. There is Heirloom, a superwash wool in a braid, not twisted. Nice for stitch definition. Anything from Needful is going at half because they have gone out of business. From them we have some Joy, a %100 wool that is self striping, sort of chunky but can be used as a worsted for a tighter knit. They also make a lovely merino, Autrailian merino in tweedy colors. Nice stretchy dk. Bunny hop from Crystal Palace is in the back room at half as well. Loved this yarn, we just need a change. I can still get it but would special order if needed. Take advantage at this price you can make some baby items for little cash. In the front of the shop we have some cotton blends that are going out of season so for all you 'allergic to wool' people, there is another option. Plymouth Bradford and Somerset, worsted weight pima cotton and nylon and pima and silk. Good buys. Come in and see what deals are in the making and help me make room for the new stuff. We like to keep you guessing and offer great deals on great yarns. Thanks for your support and helping me stay in business.

Mike believes that keeping you in business has become a sole mission of mine. He may be right. Thanks for offering such awesome deals that my addiction can continue.
I'm so glad you are feeling so attached to the shop. Press on the mission soldier and KNIT ON! Love you.
