New Newsletter and Class Calendar

Our newsletter and class calendar have been updated for the months of June through September 2011. Simply click on the links to the right of this page. There are several new classes on the schedule, including the fun to knit Eyelet Twigs Hat, a Granny Square blanket for beginning crocheters, and the Stitch Sampler scarf for beginning knitters. The Basic Beginner class and the Sleeveless Shell class have been revised. If you want to do more with fiber, remember that we also offer Beginning Spinning, Beginning Weaving and Nuno Felting classes. If you don't see a class that fits your schedule or if you need help with a specific technique, we are happy to help you with a private lesson. And as always, you are welcome any time to sit and knit and relax! We look forward to seeing you this summer!

Rozetti Marina yarn is here

Just arrived! A new scarf yarn from Universal Yarn Company, Marina by Rozetti. This honeycomb yarn ruffles as you knit it. We have a nice selection of colors for fun summer knitting. There also is a nice YouTube video which demonstrates cast on to bind off. Come in soon for the best selection!

Filling the shelves!

We have been busy the last few weeks meeting with all of our yarn reps and looking at the new yarns and yarn colors for fall. And now, some of those new yarns are arriving at the shop! Here is our Manos wall with a new supply of the super soft Maxima yarn! These bright colors will make an awesome snowboarder hat for that young person in your life.

Our Plymouth Encore wall has been replenished with a large assortment of colors! If you need to make an afghan for a new grad, new baby or newlywed couple, now is the time to come in for the best color selection!

One of our favorite customers was singing the praises of Cascade Yarn's Pacific and when the yarn rep showed it to us, we had to agree! This merino wool and acrylic yarn is so soft and pretty! It is a worsted weight yarn that knits up to 4.5 to 5 sts per inch on a US 7 to 8 needle and has 213 yards per skein.

Also new in the baby yarn section is Cascade's Cherub DK and Cherub Baby. Both are nylon and acrylic blends for easy care and they are oh, so soft! The Cherub DK has 180 yards and knits to 5.5 to 6 sts per inch on a US 4 to 5 needle. The Cherub Baby has 229 yards per skein and knits to 6 to 7 sts per inch on a US 3 to 4 needle.

Oh, my! What's this in the box we just opened? A new supply of Madelinetosh's Tosh Sock yarn! Last year's Sock Club members used this yarn in one of their kits and we sold out very quickly. Each of the different colorways is so beautiful that it is hard to choose for a project! Come by a take a look. We'll be getting these onto the shelves today!
