It felt like Spring for a moment. The bouncing temperatures this time of year makes it hard to decide whether to knit with wool or cotton.

If your thoughts are turning to a light Spring/Summer sweater, Cascade SunSeeker has arrived.

This is a cotton blend with just a tiny bit of glitz - just right for Summer. SunSeeker can be knit as a DK or Sport weight so there is a nice choice of weights for those cool Spring days or cool Summer nights.

This yarn is machine washable and dryable to make your care easy. And, the yarn comes in great Summer colors. Just the ticket for that light sweater that you've wanted to knit.

We have a knitted sample on the table and we'll start knitting a garment this weekend.

See you soon!

Winter appears to be still with us. I guess Punxsutawney Phil was correct this year.

As promised, more yarn has arrived. We now have a stock of Pluscious. This is a bulky yarn that can be quickly knitted up for babies or adults. You can check out the patterns here. The yarn is wonderfully soft and fun to knit or crochet. It's like chenille but without all of the problems. This is a machine washable and dryable yarn.

We're going to knit a model using a Yankee Knitters pattern #30. Stop by the shop to see a knitted sample.

See you soon.
