New Yarns Streaming In

The past few weeks we have had lots of new yarns come into the shop. We have the Classic Elite fall yarns. Most of these yarns are wool or wool blends and range from solid colors to tweed and semi solids. These yarns are also in many weights from Dk to worsted and heavy worsted. Each of these new lines also came with their own pattern books. We also had some beautiful Dk Frog Tree solids come in as well. From Trendsetter we recieved new Dune in white, It's really pretty and would make a very pretty shawl or sweater for chritsmas. There are also some great varigated yarns as well. Vigna is another of their new yarns which looks like chenille but its wool and acrylic. The most beautiful scarves have been made from this yarn as well as another that has a bit of gold glitz within the yarn. This is great to dress up a nice jacket or outfit as a scarf or shawl. It would also make a great and beautiful sweater.

In the wonderful world of baby we also recieved a new shipment of the Splash Dk in 7 different colors, this makes fabulous baby blankets and sweaters both knitted and crocheted. We also have some Spot on baby dk in 9 different colors. This one knits up as spots. Also makes great sweaters and blankets for the little baby in your life.

Calling all the washcloth lovers we have 25 new cotton colors from Swedish Yarns. One skein is usually enough to make 2 washcloths. The next free washcloth class will be November 20th from 3 to 5pm.
