Embrace the Winter Weather!!!

We just received a sport weight yarn called Serena by Manos de Uruguay that would make a lucious scarf. It's a blend of baby alpaca and pima cotton and if you can imagine how soft those are by themselves, multiply it by two when they are put together! We've selected several patterns that would complement this wonderful new yarn, or, of course, you can do one of your favorites.

Super Scarves Volunteer Project

We have blue and white Cascade 220 in stock for the Super Scarves volunteer project. The scarves need to be both blue and white and can be any unisex pattern that you choose. The yarn is 40% off for this project and when you purchase it, we will record your name and number and ask that you return your finished project to our store. Scarf dimension details are on the flyer that you will receive when you purchase yarn and there are even a couple of suggested patterns included.

Heart Shape Pom-pom Makers

New heart shape pom-pom makers are perfect for Valentine's Day crafts. The large size creates a finished heart of approximately 2-3/4 inches and the small size makes approximately 2 inch hearts. Also, we received Triangle Stitch Markers in size (XS) that may be used with needles sizes #0-#4 US.

St. Patrick's Day Scarf Idea

We have just received a shipment of the popular Trendsetter Frivola yarn in Mossy. Giant, sparkling, smooshy soft puffs of fluff on a binder string make the creative possibilities endless! Use one skein to chain a scarf, or two to knit a scarf so that the puffs stack up.
