It was quite a day at WoolWinders. We spoke in the morning to a wonderful group of knitters at the Smithsonian in Washington, and then raced back to the store to discover six very large boxes delivered by Scott the UPS Guy who has returned to us after paternity leave. We were beyond oohs and aahs when we opened the boxes marked Westminster Fibers, the distributor of Rowan and Jaeger. In addition to our wonderful Friday staff of Kate Ann, Janice, and Karina, Adrian and Marietta just happened to drop by and EVERYONE went to work. By the end of the day, all was unpacked, inventoried, priced, and put into their waiting bins. We now have gorgeous spring/summer offerings in delicious colors of (from fingering to chunky weight): Jaeger Siena, Rowan Cotton Glace, Summer Tweed, Cotton Tape and Linen Print. Matching pattern books accompany most of the yarns, and some are heavily featured in spring and summer magazines. Come see these beautiful yarns for the ultimate in spring knitting!

And if that were not exciting enough, we also received backordered Manos in ten colors, the ever-elusive SHORT WOOD NEEDLES IN SIZES 11, 13 and 17 (gasp)!, an additional color of denim silk and six colors of Sizzle, the popular one skein scarf yarn from Berroco. Whew! We all went home tired and extremely happy. Stay tuned for tomorrow's blog; we received a box of books from Unicorn Press that remains to be unpacked.......

I am just starting to rediscover knitting after many years of quilting. I live in a small upper-midwest town with no local yarn supply. then I found your web-site, I love, love, love it check in a couple times a week and anticipate ordering something from you soon. Keep up the great work!

Like Sue, I love all the enthusiasm about the new arrivals! Wish I could just run by like I used to, but look forward to seeing all of you soon. I'm getting excited about making fun things for spring and summer, thanks to all your blogs!
