Market Weekend Sale

The semi-annual TNNA Market is taking place in Washington, DC this weekend and while we will not be attending, we've been meeting with yarn company reps and choosing yarn for the upcoming season. As we begin our long transition to cooler weather, we've selected a few yarns to mark down; we'll also have some non-advertised surprises in store for people who visit the shop Friday and Saturday, June 10-11th. Keep reading for details and descriptions!

At 20% off, we have Filatura Di Crosa Tempo (cotton/acrylic/nylon) and it's great for knitting or weaving. The most popular pattern for this yarn has been the Lido Scarf/Shawl, which you can purchase at Twisted Yarns. (Check out Debbie's and Susan's on Ravelry).

Leonie Pullover Knit Along

We can't get enough of this new summer pullover and we're having so much fun putting together combinations that we thought we'd offer a free Friday afternoon (1:00 - 3:00) KAL for the month of June. Alisa finished hers with Knit One Crochet Too Batiste and DanDoh Cotton Fine and has been wearing it for a while now. Olivia has knit two of them -- one with Louet Euroflax Sportweight and one with DanDoh Cotton Fine and Bio Sesia. Ann just cast on for her Leonie with Knit One Crochet Too Soie et Lin and DanDoh Cotton Fine. The positive ease paired with the larger needle size ensures that this will be comfortable top for a Houston summer.

Let us help you choose yarn for the Friday KAL! It begins on June 10th at 1:00 p.m. and will meet every Friday through July 1st. While we won't have a dedicated instructor this time (hence the FREE part), there will always be at least one staff member every Friday who is either finished with her Leonie or ahead of the KAL members. Please sign up though! We want to make sure we have enough yarn and patterns.
