Summer Blogging

I have discovered that I get too distracted with summer activities and sometimes forget to update the blog! Sorry about that.

Today is Saturday and we have a gaggle of spinners in today. Members of this gaggle have been my inspiration to learn to spin so I can appreciate their enthusiasm and spirit. I don't work as many Saturdays as I use to and I miss them when I'm not here.

I should also mention that the new Trekking XXL sock yarn order has arrived and some beautiful Annie Blatt scarf kits, proceeds from purchases going toward breast cancer awareness groups.

I will be gone on vacation all of next week - Yahoo! - so there may not be anyone to blog until I get back. (Maybe someone will surprise me and learn how to use the computer while I'm gone.)

:)

Happy Summer!

New Stuff!

I went to the NW Needlemarket show (put on by Skacel) this past weekend and picked up some new sock yarn (see photo), ordered some Tofutsies and Amazing (corn yarn) from SWTC, ordered some yummy Karabella yarns, brought back some great bags from DellaQ and Ashland Sky, AND the Fall orders are starting to arrive!! We just got two big boxes from Nashua and the Noro just keeps on comin'. I spoke to Skacel yesterday and our Trekking XXL order is being shipped today. The new Trekking ProNatura Bamboo and Fortissima Socak Mit Bambou are luscious - I brought back two mixed bags from the show. I also picked up a bag of Sockina Cotton and it is incredibly soft - softer than any of the other cotton sock yarns, I think.

Speaking of sock yarn, we still have some of the beautiful green and blue colorway that was dyed for us by Pagewood Farm for Stitch 'n Pitch. It comes in both superwash wool/nylon and wool/tencel blends.

We'll be putting a lot of yarn on sale in the next few weeks to make room for all the new stuff so be sure to keep an eye on the blog or the Website for details. Better yet, just come in!
