Happy Fall....it's knitting time, well, it's always knitting time.

News on the Woolworks front...New stuff..What's new? There's always new stuff to stimulate the senses. This week, oh my, we have sock yarn from Pagewood Farm. Just lovely and going out of the shop like crazy. I'd tell you about the 500yd hanks of Adirondack fingering weight in gorgeous colors but THEY ARE GONE already. I have to order more. I'd show you the lovely colors of Mission Falls 1824 Wool and 1824 Cotton but they are in the back room in the packages because there is NO ROOM to put it out... did I mention I have an addiction? There are some really cute kid patterns and interesting adult patterns to go with this yarn and both the cotton and the wool can be used interchangeably in the pattens. Really nice for those that can't use wool to have that option. New to us also is the Ella Rae Classic wool, worsted weight with really super nice pattern books, not too expensive either. Ellyn Cooper Yarn Sonnets in the superwash handdyed are also in, lovely.
New to the sock world is Happy Feet in a dk weight for all you chickens that are afraid of fingering weight and size one needles. This is very pretty stuff. Plymouth also introduced recently Happy Choices, a dyed scarf that you Un-knit into a sock or hat or whatever you choose. Much like the Conjoined Creations and around the same price. You can buy 2 and have a matching scarf and make something to go with it with the 2nd.
Harry Potter sock yarn is finally here, (Not like the movie is yet but oh well) Fun stuff. You can have your socks made and ready to where to the movie whenever they actually decide to release it. We ordered this stuff from Opal about 6 months ago in anticipation, they recinded the movie release but we didn't have a choice for the yarn. It was coming no matter what. So...here we go, lets knit some socks people! KNIT ON!

MORE NEW STUFF and CLOSEOUTS

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.

Ellyn Cooper is here!

Lovely to look at and can't wait to use it. The worsted weight wool and the sock yarn are gorgeous. If you like hand dyes and would like to use a locally made yarn, Ellyn's yarn is for you.

Jil Eaton, Minnowmerino

Coming Soon...Mission Falls and Ellen Cooper Yarn Sonnets!

Keep an eye out for the new lines coming in. We are very excited to add these lovely yarns to our inventory. The colors of the Mission Falls are just gorgoeous and not like any other. The 1824 Wool and 1824 Cotton are interchangeable as far a gauge. 18 stitches in 4 inches and 24 rows. Very cool! The pattern support for these yarns is wonderful, lots of childrens patterns that are unique and colorful. The wool is a very soft superwash merino! Yippee! Superwash.
Ellen Coopers yarn is LOCAL and this yarn can sell itself. Her colorways are interesting and the fiber options are numerous. I had to hold back on buying, Icould have taken all the colors. I have chosen the superwash in a worsted weight. There are many others to chose from and I am open to getting more when we see how this goes.
This week we recieved some items from Knit one, Crochet too. Some lovely hand dyed Ambrosia, a delicious blend of luxury fibers for those very special gloves. "Linus" is a new yarn for them and the pattern I chose is adoreable. Check out knitonecrochettoo.com for the fish pattern," Gone fishing", I have all the colors for this sweater and the yarn is a merino, acrylic and alpaca blend.

Berroco, Lots of Berroco, Debbie Bliss too!

New Ultra Alpaca colors just in. Also Berroco has introduced the same yarn in a Bulky weight, called Cuzco and a fine weight called Ultra Alpaca fine. Both have the hand of the original but with more versatility you can make anything, sock, shawls, sweaters and chunky items as well. Don't forget this wonderful yarn comes in a 'light' dk weight too. In the same shippment was the Inca Gold that I used to make the Eastlake in the Norah Gaughan vol3. Loved working with the Inca Gold, merino and silk. I have the newest Berroco books in stock to accompany these yarns and samples of sweaters to touch.
Some new colors in the Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Baby arrived and some new books. Seems we can't keep the baby books in stock. The patterns are so cute. I have some Sirdar books that have some 'to die for ' kids patterns that you can use the cashmerino to substitute. These are really nice traditional arans, swing style updated sweaters and great boys pattterns that are sometimes hard to find. Watch for the new superwash Merino from Jil Eaton. I can't wait til that comes in. The colors are fabulous and I got them all. Soft as can be and really cute pattern support.
In the HALF PRICE sale bin this week.....Plymouth Baby alpaca brush. Going fast at half price! Also added was the Plymouth luxury Bamboo. Lots of colors and some full bags.

Sale of the week.....Aspen from GGH Muench, a bulky weight merino and acrylic at 30% off!
