A gentle reminder: beginning this Saturday, April 2, we will be open 11-6. We will be holding classes and lessons from 9-11 and appreciate your cooperation! Thanks.

You asked for it, we have it....CASHMERE. And not just any cashmere. Joseph Galler Pashmina Cashmere. Truly luxurious, this sport weight yarn features 170 yards/skein and feels like...we are speechless. A cloud? A kitten? We can't find the words so we won't try. This is a true luxury. One skein for a fabulous scarf, two for a pair of gloves or socks, or go for the moon and make a sweater like Lew is going to do. It will be worth the price!!! We ordered beautiful, workable, neutral colors. Come see them.

And continuing in our luxury trend, we feature a new line, JUDI and COMPANY. Judi's yarns are glorious in color, interesting in fiber, and just plain fun. All hand dyed (some of the most beautiful colorways we have seen!), the yarns are unique and perfect for spring scarves, wraps and ponchos. We have her patterns as well, and some are free with the purchase of yarn.

So feeling like treating someone you love? Like yourself? What could be better than cashmere or hand dyed ribbon?

It has been raining here for nearly a week, but our dampened spirits were lifted somewhat when Walter the UPS Guy arrived with two favorites. First, we have some fabulous new colors (and some restocks of old favorites) in Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece. This wool/cotton blend has everything going for it. Great price point, great washability, and great colors. Use it for children's sweaters, afghans, and grown-up items as well (ask Lynne if you can see her blue sweater!). It shows stitch work beautifully as well.

And Rowan Wool Cotton, another blend, is back in stock. Soft, cozy, washable, with fabulous pattern support. This is a personal favorite of ours. Two skeins make a newborn sweater that is really special. And a bag can make a really special sweater for you!

Lynn and I decided today that there is little we like more than seeing full needle racks. Thanks to Walter the UPS Guy and Crystal Palace, we are very happy today. No matter what your scarf or baby sweater project, we have the lovelys short bamboo needles for it!

And we received reorders of the very popular Berroco Glace. If you have not knit with this luscious spring ribbon, take a look at our cabled shell hanging in the window! This yarn is fantastic. Beautiful colors, beautiful drape. Use it alone or with another yarn for a fabulous scarf or shawl, or take the plunge and make a quick spring shell.

To all, a very happy and healthy Easter holiday. We are open 10-5 tomorrow, closed Sunday.

Walter the UPS Guy confessed today that NO ONE on his route is ever as happy to see him as we are. Since he brought us part of our Lantern Moon order, we were positively gleeful today. So come check out our new small baskets and supply of needles in Ebony and Rosewood.

when we take our days off!! We arrived at the store around 3:00 PM today to unload two ENORMOUS boxes from Knitting Fever and Rowan. Within? First the new Debbie Bliss Cathay yarn, a luscious DK Weight blend of cotton, silk and microfiber (making this yummy yarn machine washable!). We of course took every color as well as the pattern book!

And from Rowan? New colors to complete our palette of Linen Print and Cotton Tape. Perfect for spring sweaters and shells.

Please remember that we are closed Sunday in observance of Easter. We will be open regular hours on Good Friday and Saturday.

...that was hanging in our window caught everyone's eye! So of course we ran out of the pattern book. But today, our hero Walter the UPS Guy brought reinforcements. So maybe we'll return the jacket to the window! It is made of Colinette Giotto and is incredibly fun to knit! Just ask for the pattern book La Bella Vita.

And at the same time we received spring colors of the fabulous Vintage kit for ponchos and shawls, and some of the ever-popular Isis chenille.

Not to be outdone our pal Judith came through with more Stria. We literally cannot keep this 5 to the inch cotton in stock. We now have all the colors except Pistachio (what is it about green this season????. And if you haven't checked out her latest pattern book to accompany this yarn, Cotton Collection 2, make sure you give it a once over. Fabulous.

Please note: The BABY OWL SWEATER Class will be held Monday, June 13 and 27 (not 20th) from 6-8 PM. If you signed up and have a problem with the new date, please give us a call!!!

We were gone for a few days to check up on the folks in Florida, and in our absence LOTS of great spring yarns arrived. Thanks to our wonderful staff: Adrian, Pat, Martha, Kim and Karina, most of it is already out on the shelves! So come see restocks of Schaefer Yarn's beautiful Pima Cotton Laurel yarn as well as her phenomenal one-of-a-kind afghan kits. And we took the plunge and ordered two heavily requested yarns: Crystal Palace's Cotton Chenille and Rowan Yarns CashSoft DK.

Cotton Chenille is a cozy, ultra soft chenille perfect for year round wear. Be aware, though, that this yarn, although bulky weight (3.5-4 stitches per inch) knits on a size SIX needle. Why? Because for chenille to look and feel as it should, it must be knit on a small needle. Big needles cause a reaction called "worming," whereby the yarn turns on itself and forms icky big loops! Knit Cotton Chenille as it should be and you will be in love with the final product.

Rowan CashSoft Baby DK is a much anticipated and much needed yarn. Comprised of cashmere, wool, and microfiber, this MACHINE WASHABLE yarn knits at the perfect DK gauge-5.5 stitches to the inch. Since we are phasing out our acrylic Sirdar yarn but love the patterns, this yarn will be perfect for those children's projects as well as any other project you can envision. We ordered, of course, every color.

And here is our report on Florida yarns. We stopped at a funky store in the Festival shops in Pompano. Fun novelty yarns abounded, and everyone was knitting scarves and ponchos. We fell in love with one brand, Great Adirondack Yarn, which we are now researching to order. Isn't it fun to scope out other stores????

Walter the UPS Guy brought us a box of the elegant, gorgeous, and unique Prism "stuff" yarn. If you have an affair to attend this spring, look no further for the perfect yarn for a dressy shell, top, or shawl. Laura Bryant puts together exquisite colors and yarns to create her novelty yarn. The difference with Prism? It is unbelievably easy to work with; winding, knitting, finishing-all go quickly. Come see her jewel tones, neutrals, elegant blacks/navys..you will love this yarn.

And we also have back in stock the popular Klutz Learn to Knit kits. Perfect for teens and adults, the kits come with yarn, needles, notions and really cute, funky patterns. Success is guaranteed with Klutz kits!
