SEPTEMBER "MAKE IT WITH WOOL" SALE!

It's SO HOT out there...but the stores are full of Halloween decor and you know what that means....it's going to happen. It really truly will be cool again very soon.

And what happens as soon as you realize that wearing your favorite hoodie is right around the corner? The urge to knit/crochet hits and you need a project! 

(Drum Roll) Enter our biggest sale of the year: the annual MAKE IT WITH WOOLD SALE. Everything, and we do mean EVERYTHING, with any wool (or alpaca!) in in at all is at least 20% off through the month of September! There are some great products that will be discounted up to 50% off during this yearly event, but you can count on at least 20% off everything in the store that contains wool or alpaca. So, does that include the Raven Frog hand dyed yarns? YES. How about spinning fibers? YES. The locally produced alpaca yarn from Kath's alpacas in West Mountain? YES. Every one of them? YES. And yes, as a matter of fact we do know that most of the yarns in the store contain wool or alpaca, so this is a huge sale for us, and we love bringing it to you. And we freely admit that park of the fun of the annual wool sale is finding new, fun products to bring to the store. This year we are introducing some fabulous new yarns from BLUE SKY FIBERS that will knock your socks off (it's OK, you can just knit another pair!). The fabulous pallette and the stunning pattern support will have you happily hunkered down with your new project before the first frost! Another fun introduction are some great yarns from Lopi, again with show stopping pattern support that will get all those creative juices going, just in time for cider season! Also, new fun additions from the Urth Yarns collection will have you self striping to your heart's content! Don't miss this annual opportunity to save big and get lined up with great projects for the upcoming "hunker down and knit" weather that is fast approaching. It's September! It's FIBER season! it's 20% or more off of everything in the store with wool or alpaca in it! 

WHY WOOL?

Because it's amazing, that's why! Serving mankind for thousands of years, wood has supplied us with clothing of all types: heirloom baby clothes and fine lace to rugged winter work coats; all sorts of home decor from carpets to afghans to doilies; even becoming the shelter itself in the form of the magnificent traditional Tibetan yurts. Breathable and insulting, it is truly a 3 season choice. Soaking wet wood insulates at 80% of what it does when dry, making it invaluable for sloppy , cold weather conditions, it is a fiber of nearly limitless potential, and no, you are not allergic to it. Even if you think are you you are probably not. Multiple studies have show that wool is not an allergen, and less than 1 person in 100,000 is actually allergic to wool. So, if wool bothers you, what is the problem? it is either that coarse,  scratchy wool makes you itch, or you are reacting to something used to clean/process/dye the wool. Come on in and let us show you the lovely, super soft options we have in the finest wool on earth so you can benefit from all those lovely qualities with no further delay. And...at least 20% off everything containing wool the entire month of September!! 

120TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIALS
For September, we look back at what people were knitting and crocheting and tatting 120 years ago. And the answer is, lace. Lace was the rage. In September, take 10% off any lace project you purchase here. Just show us what your plan is to turn that yarn/thread into lace and take 10% off!

Winders/Swifts: Every longsuffering companion to a yarnster will be thrilled to learn that there is a TOOL that holds those skeins of yarn (you know how you hold your hands up while they wind? A swift does it for you!) AND ball winders that create center pull balls of yarn in a matter of seconds. A gift for them that is really a gift for you too!
