We will be open Friday, July 3rd from 10am to 5pm We do have Open SP-IT at the shop this afternoon from 2 - 5 pm. If you are off of work due to the holiday, why not stop in with your knitting or spinning project and join us? (Sorry - there is no SP-IT Nite tonight at the shop).

We are closed on Saturday, July 4th.

We are back to our regular hours on Sunday, July 5th and will be open from Noon - 4 pm. Don't forget Open Knitting at the shop on Sunday from 1 - 4!

Happy 4th!

I promised a few folks that I would post when the Zauberball is back in stock and IT IS HERE!

(Crazy Zauberball is scheduled to be shipped sometime this month.)

Well - I think we've been keeping Mr. UPS busy this week!

Another box was dropped off this morning - this one full of BOOKS!

I know we've got quite a few sock knitters, and quite a few of you are fans of two-at-a-time. We just received the new book, Knitting More Circles Around Socks. What's nice about this one is you can do Toe Up or Cuff Down! Patterns for men, women and children.

I mentioned last week that we would be receiving our Berroco Fall order and it showed up today - All 4 big boxes of it!


Of course, we have the latest books from Berroco including the Norah Gaughan Vol. 5 and Norah Gaughan Men.
And did I mention that we have YARN????

We brought in Blackstone Tweed which is a lovely worsted weight tweed yarn without the harsh tweed feel - this one is super soft.





Vintage Wool is another worsted weight yarn. At first glance, this one looks almost like Cascade 220 with almost the same yardage. However, unlike Cascade 220, this one can be machine washed! It contains wool, acrylic and nylon, but feels extremely nice to the touch (and without the acrylic squeek, if you know what I mean).

Another new one is Sundae for your instant gratification projects. The recommended gauge is 2.5 stitches per inch on a US #15 needle, so any project with this yarn will be quick. Don't forget to check out the pattern book that goes along with this yarn.





For those of you that just can not wear wool, but would love to wear hand-knit socks, we have some Comfort Sock yarn in stock. Great self-striping sock yarn, but there is no wool content what-so-ever!

Of course, we've added more colors in Ultra Alpaca, Peruvia, Peruvia Quick, and the Comfort yarns.

(Or Feet up, as the case may be!)
More Zauberball will be arriving this coming week!

Keep checking the shop blog - I'll make sure to let everyone know when it arrives.

We got in a long-awaited box of Pagewood Farm yarn yesterday at the shop. (Of course, those that were at the shop for Friday Afternoon SP-IT got to raid the box and bring some goodies home with them!)

This time around we brought in a different sock yarn from Pagewood Farm - Denali. This one is supersoft, 80% Merino Superwash Wool, 20% Nylon, and 450 yards per hank.

We also have more of their Willow Creek laceweight in the 8 oz. hanks. That's 1350 yards of nummy lace weight yarn for your summer lace project!
