NEW YARN: Artyarns

We've carried Artyarns before and love the silk, so when Lacy Little Knits came out, we stocked up on Regal Silk and a few more of her yarns in great colorways:


We have some of the Artyarns cashmere in a couple of colorways and Silk Rhapsody as well. Come see and feel the new Artyarns when Twisted Yarns reopens on Thursday, July 5th at 10:00 a.m.




Happy Knitting and Happy Independence Day!
