Where

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!

Happy Valentine's Day

We have yet again rearranged More new things in for your yarn addiction have arrived and have made it out of the back room. Lots of glorious colors and textures to touch. Queensland makes a lovely yarn from Sugar cane called Sugarush a Drapey, soft, fingering weight will make something sumptuous for spring. Also from Queensland is a fabulous cotton soy blend called Cotsoy that has the hand of a luxury yarn. Absolutely loved working with it. Great color pallet as well. Debbie Bliss Prima, merino and bamboo is very nice too and the pattern support in the new Debbie Bliss magazine for this yarn is good.
Another new yarn for us is from Debbie Bliss called Rialto dk, it's a super wash extra fine merino and there is a great book of patterns available to go with it. New Cashmerino Baby colors are in as well. Finally a red. We have stocked up on NORO too and have more colors to choose from in the Kockoran and Kureyon, silk garden and silk garden dk. There is a new yarn called Taiyo in fabulous bright kid colors. It's a wool, cotton, silk and nylon blend, chunky weight, really fun. We have also let the Mission Falls 1824 cotton out of the back room for the spring and summer. All the patterns for the wool are interchangeable in the cotton.

Dont Forget the Super Bowl Sale!

It's that time of year again! All you football widows out there want a project to do while the boys are watching the game? Now is the time to find one.

There will be a 'souper' bowl with tickets that you choose at checkout, the amounts range from 20-50% off yarn and 10-15% off books and notions. Last year we had a blast and everyone left with a bargain. Come in and join us the coffee will be on and unfortunately due to the volume we may not be able to skein your yarn or assist with pattern/knitting difficulties. We will however assist during regular business hours during the week.

End of the year Sale!

I know, I know it's not Super Bowl yet! Well I had an idea that if I had a sale now I wouldn't have to count the yarn. Inventory is a bear and I don't relish doing it, even with help. So why not come in this week between Christmas and Jan 3rd and get additional discounts? I promise it will be worth the trip. Of course the earlier in the week you shop the better the selection. Sale prices will be on present stock only no special orders please, I'm cleaning! This weekend was busy and lots went out already so if you are so inclined and need a new project now that the holiday stress knitting is over, come on in and visit for a while and maybe just maybe you'll see something you can't live without. Don't forget the samples are for sale too!
It's a great time to try socks, they are great small projects to bring to your kid's sports events or while waiting in the Dr.'s office, or just cozy in your chair at home. Start now for next year and you'll have a less stressful holiday season.

Afghans are also popular after holiday projects. They keep you warm while you knit or crochet .
How about that sweater you always wanted to make for yourself? Now's the time. With all you do you everyone else, it's time to think about you. There are so many patterns to choose from and lovely yarns to delight your senses. Happy Knitting and see you all soon.

Sample Sale!

We have finally decided to sell some of our samples! I know there are a few of you out there that had your eye on something, now's the time. We will sell the hats in the window if they are ours. There are a few that were gracously lent to us to fill the window. We have baby sweaters, womens sweaters, kids sweaters, mittens and hats. If we made the item we can sell it, with this in mind, we are unable to sell items on loan from yarn companies. Come on in and see what's available. You could make it yourself, but why?
