THE EVERLASTING APPEAL OF NORO

I have seen a lot of yarns come in and out of style. Just like most things, what our hands want to knit with changes with the seasons. All I can hear in my head is Heidi Klum's beautifully accented phrase "One minute you're in, and the next you're OUT"

That statement does not apply to Noro. No matter what time of year, what size needles you like working on, or whether you're making an adult sized cardigan or a baby afghan, Noro always seems to have a skein of yarn that will do the trick. For that reason, I make sure that the shop is always well stocked with this amazing yarn. For that matter, we just got a huge order in to satiate your Noro cravings.Don't worry!! I won't take pictures of every cubby full of Noro!
But I will show you a few examples of the various things we've made with Noro at the shop!

Hope you're inspired to knit up some beautiful, colorful, yummy things! Happy Knitting and Crocheting, and have a very Happy Easter!!
