Yarn: oh, yeah, babe!

You may have noticed that now we're in the Towne Centre, our yarns are flying out the door at an alarming rate of speed. Lucky for you, they're flying in at almost the same rate! Why, it was just a few days ago that the Mink/Cashmere blend blew in. Yes, I did say mink. As you knit with it, it magically blooms into an amazingly soft and light piece - and at 230 yds per skein, you can knit a cowl and fingerless gloves from one.

Today a box of Dream in Color Smooshy and Starry appeared at our door. If you haven't tried knitting socks or scarves or fantastic small shawls with this yarn, now is the time. Somehow, Joni managed to leave the shop without any Starry in her bag. We're betting by Thursday, she'll reconsider.
Faye, however, did not make it out the door without a couple of skeins of Aslan Trends Santa Fe sock yarn. Because, you know she has no sock yarn at home... Anyway, she did use restraint, because she was about to leave with FOUR skeins and then guilt got the best of her. At $6.50 per 190yd skein, you can see why she got so excited!

Speaking of Aslan Trends, Invernal is here! This angora/merino blend is another yarn that blooms when your hands touch it. Check out the soft, subtle colors at a great price.

See you soon around the shelves!
