Introducing Our New Spring Arrival!

We are very excited to introduce the beautiful hand-dyed yarns from 'All for Love of Yarn'.  Lori's is the only retailer in California to carry this yarn. These beauties came all the way from Anoka, Minnesota.  

For those of you who love the shawl designs by Romi, we have the colorway combination that Romi of Designs by Romi chose for a new shawl design.  Read more about this exciting story on All for Love of Yarn's Blog.

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!
