Cascade...
We're in the process of unloading three huge boxes of Cascade yarns. We're restocking the 220 plus adding more new colours; we've also got the more Aplaca Plus and Eco-wool in some new heather colours. And...non Cascade related ... we've also got in some Bully Woolly: a super soft, varigated yarn that knits up big on 10mm needles. Come in and check it out!

Schaefer Sock Yarns
We just got a restocking of the ever fabulous Schaefer sock yarns in.

We have in an assortment of amazing colourways in the following yarns:
nichole“Nichole” (80% Extrafine Merino, 20% Nylon Superwash);

heather“Heather” (55% Merino, 30% Silk and 15% Nylon); and

anneweb“Anne” (60% Merino, 25% Mohair, 15% Nylon).

But don’t limit your projects to socks…mitts, neckwarmers, shawls & hats are other great projects that would work beautifully in this yarn.
Help for Haiti
Like many people, I have been saddened by the watching the effects of the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti – this poorest of poor countries.

In an effort to help we will be donating a percentage of this week’s total sales receipts to the relief efforts…

So if you’re around or in town this and have a chance to stop in the shop, a portion of your purchase $$ will be going to the relief effort. Thanks!
A good 'guy sweater'
Looking for a new project to start the New Year? The Nantucket Pullover by designer Barbara Selsnick is a great 'guy' sweater that is easy to do -- especially if it's your first sweater -- and it knits up quickly in a worsted weight yarn.

The style is a simple drop sleeve with an easy stitch pattern that adds texture and visual interest. We've got the pattern and lots of worsted weight yarns to choose from. This sample was knit in the always wonderful Cascade 220.
