WOOL SALE! NEW YARNS AND CLASSES!

MAKE IT WITH WOOL!
It is our biggest sale of the year – the MAKE IT WITH WOOL event. The entire month of September is dedicated to singing the praises of wool – AND everything in the store with any wool in it at all (spoiler alert – we count alpaca as wool) is at least 20% off! That means everything from our best selling workhorse yarn  Encore worsted to Luxe, the decadent new hand dyed merino-yak-silk, is at least 20% off the entire month of September. Special orders on wool yarns placed in September? 20% off! And check out our clearance section with mark downs to 50%! We love wool for so many reasons… remarkable to wear, sustainable,  versatile and yes, EASY TO CARE FOR. If you have fallen victim to the bad rap that wool often gets, let us dispel the myths and make you a believer. Just ask us when you come in, and prepare to be amazed.

NEW YARNS!
We know this sounds like a cop out but we are serious – there are too many new yarns to cover in this newsletter. We have been clearing shelf space and moving out discontinued yarns and new yarns are arriving basically every day. They are a wide variety of fiber contents and in every weight, from lace to mega chunky. One yarn we are very excited about is the introduction of Vintage worsted in about 70 colors. This yarn has been requested for years and we are thrilled to have it here for you. A blend with 52% high quality acrylic, 40% wool and 8% nylon, Vintage worsted is the big sister to Vintage DK, a perennial best seller. You are going to  love the sophisticated color palette and the rich heathered tones of Vintage worsted, and it is 20% off in September! Come see all the new yarns – self striping, gorgeous tweeds, even Footsie, the elastic sock yarn perfect to knit beautiful compression socks. And… we want you to let us know what you think of what we are doing around here!
