Blog Give Away


Okay... we are going to do a "Blog Give Away". Anyone who comments on our blog between today and Thursday, November 29 will be entered into a drawing for this lovely Mountain Colors & Hanah Silk Scarf.

Design II

Another Design II class has ended and as usual the students have done fabulously! Robin designed a V-neck, all-over-lace tunic sweater and she finished it beautifully! Robin, you did a great job!

Design III, dealing with color work in top-down sweaters, will be on Saturday mornings in January. Design I will be starting Thursday afternoons 2-4 in January. Design II will be in February, Thursday afternoons from 2-4! If you would like to take a class, give us a call. Christina only takes 4 students per class so they fill up fast!

Prism Lace Yarn


We just received some beautiful Prism lace weight yarn. When I first picked it up I thought it was Alpaca because it was so soft -- but it's 100 % wool! There are 1460 yards in one skein. A picture does not do justice to the beautiful hues of purple and green.

Art Felt

Early in the week Lin surprised us all with this beautiful Art Felt table runner for fall. Lin said it is a quick, easy and fun project. Instantly I thought, "Hmm... quick Christmas gifts and Christmas hostess gifts..."

Make sure to ask Lin about workshops... I think some are in the works!

Jo Sharp Shipment

Wednesday the UPS truck rolled up to the back of the store and dropped off our big fall shipment of Jo Sharp! It seemed as if we would never get it processed but... a day later it is done. Now, finding space for it was quite another feat to accomplish!


The shipment included Alpaca Kid Lustre, Silkroad DK Tweed and Classic DK Wool!
Just in time for those wonderful fall & winter sweaters, wouldn't you agree?

Staff Weaver Competes in Sheep to Shawl




You may have met Lisa on a Saturday at Stitches & Scones. She is one of our very hard-working teenagers who helps in the store. Lisa was a team captain this year in the Sheep to Shawl competition. She wove this beautiful shawl from the fiber spun by her team. Fortunately for Lisa, her grandmother bought the piece. Congratulations.
Lisa plans to teach weaving classes at Stitches & Scones this fall and winter. Watch for her class times soon.

Koigu Arrives


The first part of our latest Koigu order is here. The rest of it is scheduled to arrive soon. Variagated and solids are available.
