Yarn of the Week Sale

Another week has passed and that means another yarn is featured for this weekend through next Friday!  We have chosen all James C. Brett yarns in the store for a 20% discount.  Here is the excerpt from our e-mail flyer listing all the yarns available and color codes.  Click HERE to access the flyer and you will have all the links describing the yarns and view the colors available.  

We hope to see you in the shop!  Remember that you are always welcome to sit a while and knit or crochet on any project.  The weather should be nice enough to sit outside on the patio!

Swans Island Yarn

Lori's has a small selection of the beautiful organic hand-dyed worsted weight Swans Island Yarn.  You can read the Swans Island Yarn story here.  The yarn is absolutely gorgeous especially my personal favorite: Beetroot - a purple tonal yarn.  Four patterns from Swans Island are available as well and three of them only require one skein.  A quick look on Ravelry revealed so many positive remarks about knitting with this yarn.  So drop on by to see and touch for yourself!

New Yarn for the New Year!

Meet two of our newest yarns in the shop!  They are Sateen and Sunseeker by Cascade Yarns.   These are both machine wash and tumble dry making them perfect for baby projects.

Sunseeker is a soft, light & drapey cotton mix (47% cotton/48% acrylic/5% metallic) with a touch of sparkle.  It knits up at 22-24 stitches over 4 inches on US 4/5 needles and has 237 yards for skein.  This would work well for projects requiring DK weight yarn.

Yes, the yellow & white have sparkle too!  A picture does not do them justice - a must see and touch for yourself!

Sateen is a soft, smooth & silky 100% Acrylic DK weight yarn and has a generous 300.7 yards per ball.  Sateen comes in pre-wound center pull balls so they are ready to go when you are!

Coral and Denim Mix

True Blue and Lilac

 

If one of your resolutions this year is to organize that knitting bag, then this little gadget may help you out.  The Needle Keeper allows your circular needles to be securely held together so that project doesn’t slip off in the rumble tumble of your knitting bag.  You can find them on the register counter.

Needle tips are inserted into tube and held securely

Can't wait for everyone to stop on by and show us your projects or allow us to help you start one.  Remember you are always welcome to work on your knitting and crochet here at the shop.  

Happy New Year!
