I know that it is still cold outside but you need to start thinking about Spring and Summer and the shop just got in the ideal yarn.

Trendsetter Yarns has revived an old favorite Cin-Cin. This yarn is a viscose and cotton blend that is multi-colored and slubbed. It would be great for a tank top or a tee. Heck, it would make a wonderful simple shoulder wrap for the refrigerated restaurants in the summer. The yarn will do all the work just knit every row for the wrap - a quick simple and stylish project.

 

These are just two of the colors that arrived. We're knitting a tee so when you stop by ask to see what the yarn looks like knitted. We're proud to show our work.

Lumio reflective yarn has been great and the solid colors are fun. Now Lumio Color comes in ragg colors and they're really fun. Here are two color samples:

They will work for men or women.

The latest Rowan Magazine 55 is now here with more great patterns.

There are more great yarns to come. I will announce them on the blog and on my Facebook page. Stay tuned!

Tomorrow is Ground Hog Day! We'll find out how much more Winter we're going to have. Good news or bad we'll still be having:

SIT AND KNIT

Sit and knit here at the shop. I will have chips and other bad things to eat as you knit, you can contribute dips if you wish.

We're here to sit and talk about things other than football, eat bad things and knit. Oh, for those of you who feel guilty, there may be some veggies.

So come join us and have a good time.

Oh, yes there will be new yarns coming in soon.

Tired of the dreary days with no sun and bone chilling cold? I have the solution for you!

Plymouth Yarns has just released a new fingering weight yarn called Neon Now. This will make your days seem warmer and brighter.

I have all five colors in stock so don't let it be said that winter can't be brightened up. Check out the link to see all of the colors.

The new yarns just keep on arriving to keep you interested.

The newest addition is Tangier yarn from Cascade Yarns. This is a long repeat multi-color yarn that is a silk, cotton, acrylic, rayon blend. It is a single-ply yarn that has a very smooth hand - it feels wonderful. This yarn knits at 14-18 sts/inch and would be great for a summer tee or tank.

Or this would make a wonderful wrap or cowl for those of you who would prefer no wool. Because of the color changes this is just plain fun to knit. Can't wait to see what color is coming next. We'll knit up a sample as soon as we can but stop by and knit with it a bit to see if you like it.

See you soon!
