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.

The Cascade 220 is here!

Today more boxes to unload! Wow! We received some just fabulous alpaca yarn in 'eco' undyed colors as well as some dyed. Amazing hand! With that also came the new wool/linen blend from Italy. This 'Rustic' is very light and lofty but not fuzzy. I would make a wonderful man's sweater with cables. The swatch I saw was cabled and so light and airy I thought of my husband being too hot in a traditional wool sweater. It''s got a heathery tone in gray, black and brown.
Also in this batch was the 30 top selling colors of Cascade 220 worsted wool. Lovely colors! and some other EcoWool in large hanks, fewer ends to weave in with the larger hanks. These are undyed.
Last week we got some wonderful dye-able alpaca,wool and cashmere blends in natural aran color from Plymouth. Why not try your hand at making your own colors with cool aid? It's great fun!

There are some great deals in the shop now, everything not already marked down is 25% off! We will only keep the sale on til Saturday so come in now for best selection!

My addiction problem could be a boon for you. I've decided to try to make you all happy and at the same time move enough yarn to be able to walk in the back room. Yup, I did it again. Anyone notice the Encore wall was looking a little sad even pathetic? Well not anymore! New colors and bags of the stuff. Do you have plans for an afghan? Now's the time. 25% off.
Actually everything is 25% off if it's not already marked down! There are some good deals to be had here, Where can you get Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran at 30% off? (just for a couple of days) The Reynolds Kids is still on special. I am closing it out so the books and the yarn are 50% off. I really like the line but it's still here. It's great especially with the pattern support.
Besides the Debbie Bliss there are other surprize markdowns but just for this week.
I have met with the Cascade rep and my order will be in on the 24th. Help me make room! I bought the top 30 colors!
