Thanks to our pals at WESTMINSTER FIBERS, we are now restocked with ROWAN SUMMER TWEED, a yarn filled with personality. Comprised of raw silk and cotton, the yarn has great texture and despite what it says on the label IS machine washable on gentle. In fact, it softens up considerably after a quick cycle. It is, truth be told, one of our favorite summer yarns. And the accompanying pattern book has some terrific and inspiring ideas.

Speaking of inspiring, we are about half filled for our MARCH KAL—DESIGN YOUR OWN SHELL. Don’t pay to learn how to make a shell! Join our free program that runs every SATURDAY from 2-4 PM. Here’s how it works. Bring in a favorite top, preferably sleeveless. It doesn’t have to hand knit, it just has to fit you REALLY WELL. Pick out some yarn (we’ll help you) and a stitch pattern (ditto). After you swatch your yarn, we will produce a pattern tailored to the measurements of that favorite top and get you started. And you’ll have four Saturdays to knit with some friends! Give us a call if you want to participate-we limit the group to 12 so everyone has a place to sit.
