New Yarn Highlights and April Classes

Makahiki KAL

How are you doing on your Makahiki? We are on Clue 3 and the March yarn is available for pick up. Be sure to join the Ravelry Group where you can ask questions, get sneak peaks, and see what others are up to.

Hand Painted Recycled Linen

Spring has sprung! And while we are finally enjoying a touch of winter, we know warm weather is on its way soon enough.

Last year we introduced Solo Lino -- a sport weight yarn from Lana Grossa that is 80% recycled linen and 20% new linen. It is so light and soft -- it is like working with linen that has been worn for a year!

We have brought in more colors of Solo Lino and are super excited to introduce the hand painted colors!

Uneek

We brought this amazing yarn in for International Women's Day and it sold out in two days! So we brought a ton more in -- and still sold through a colorway in a day... So come in quick to get your hands on this!

100% superwash merino, fingering weight, self striping. Urth plants a tree in Africa for every skein sold. We have 9 colors.

Cashmere

We have the From the Mountain Cashmere for one more week... Abby just sent us a new yarn -- two tone cashmere in DK. There is just a little yarn left...

This is the amazing company that helps Afghan women gain financial independence.

We love knitting jewelry -- especially those that are super helpful. Never search for a ruler again it will just be on your wrist!

Fixing Mistakes

April celebrates the LYS -- Local Yarn Shop. And there are so many reasons we should celebrate having a LYS available but the biggest reason is the expert help you can get.
