Our return policy is changing as of June 1st. Returns on yarn will be accepted for 6 months from date of purchase instead of 1 year. Yarn bought before June 1, 2012 can still be returned withing one year as per the old policy. Full details are in the newsletter and will be on your sales receipts.

We've been meeting with all of our yarn reps to see the fall lines so new lighter weight yarns are arriving weekly right now. Come by and see what's new!

Great shawl for Houston!

When the rep for Blue Heron yarns showed us this shawl, we loved it from the moment we tried it on! The limited issue Blue Heron Cotton Rayon Flax yarn has a bit of metallic glitz that isn't overpowering and the Wavy Rib Wrap pattern by Carol Eddington is easy to knit and lovely to wear. Not too heavy or hot, but keeps the air conditioner's chill off of bare shoulders. Come by the shop and try on this great summer accessory for Houston's weather!
