If you are hankering to make a fabulous sweater or wrap for the coming cold weather (we PROMISE it WILL get cold eventually!) but don't want to work in wool, come check out two new yarns from BLUE HERON. Both are fast knits (2.5-3/stitches to the inch on 11-13) and both are cotton or cotton/rayon blends. Great for kids, as they are machine washable, or for any adult who doesn't like wool. And we know you are out there, because we've heard your requests. We didn't want to stock just ANY cotton during the winter; these yarns are spectacular. BLUE HERON hails from EASTON, MD and we love supporting local fiber artists. And if you want something really special in a lighter weight, we have a limited supply of their RAYON METALLIC. Two will make a gorgeous holiday shell or wrap. We are starting ours as soon as our PRISM top is done. Which may be tonight!

Also in today, restocks of the LOUISA HARDING BOOKS and IMPRESSION yarn that has flown off the shelves. Check out the beautiful wrap that adorns our model, KNITASHA. She looks lovely in it, as will you!

And finally, two new books: CROCHET FROM THE HEART and BIG KNITTING. Lynne is checking them out as we write this!
