It's Mother's Day and Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival!

  
What could be better? For the Needlearts what could be better?

Can't make the festival? Don't forget the:

Porch Party

Saturday, May 14

All day at the shop.

Refreshments will be served along with goodies.

 The shop will still have the yarns from festival. You will have to dig, but the hunt for the right yarn might be the worth the effort. The yarns will be sent back to the manufacturers the following week so don't miss out on this opportunity.

Hooray! The consignment of Kauni Effekt yarn has arrived for the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival. If you don't know about Effekt yarn this is the time to get familiar with all of their wonderful color combinations.

Effekt can be knit at 6 sts/in for a garment or with larger needles for a nice open work stole. If you would like some ideas for what you can make with the Effekt yarn just hop over to Ravelry and view the 11,000+ projects that are made using the yarn.

This yarn is sold by the gram weight of the ball and the balls of yarn are of differing weights. It does help to know how many yards of yarn you will need for your project's completion. We have a chart with the amount of yardage in the differing gram weights to make it easy.

Do stop by my display and dive in. I'm located in the Main Exhibition Hall on the right-hand side against the wall, space D-16.

See you there!

We had a great time a Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival. We met many new people and we saw a lot of you. Thank you for stopping by and saying, "Hi!".

If you didn't make it to the festival, or you didn't have time to see all we had in the booth, stop by the store. We have all of the festival wools at the shop to make it easy.

Mountain Colors: Weaver's Wool and Mountain Lace
Manos: Maxima and Alpaca Lace
Prism: Saki, Stuff and Odds & Ends

I'm hoping to have the yarn here until the end of May.

Tomorrow I take off for Bermuda with 29 knitting friends. We're planning on having a great time knitting and chatting our way to and from Bermuda. If I can, I will attempt to blog from the ship. Yes, I will take pictures.

Here's a picture of Lyn wearing the Kaffe Fassett Unwind Wrap. Stop by the shop and try it on. You'll find it is just like a dream.

And, don't forget to plan for the sit and knit at the shop on the weekend of the Fourth. We're an easy drive and no traffic.
