sensational new colors of Ozark Handspun just arrived!

The beautiful blend of wool and mohair in these yarns make them so special.  Great for hats, scarves and decorative trim.  Or leave them in a bowl on your table and enjoy them as art.        ($26 per skein)

 

just in… gorgeous new knitting totes from Be Sweet

 

We love these hooked rug totes made from recycled fabric, with cool polka dot lining, and strong suede handles ($340.00 each).  We waited months to receive them, and they sell out fast, so stop by soon if you're interested. Feel good about the job creation programs in South Africa you'll help support when you purchase products from Be Sweet (besweetproducts.com).

While you're in the shop, check out their other wonderful products… lovely mohair and ribbon yarns in exquisite colors, bamboo yarns, and patterns to knit up hats, scarves, wraps, and more.  

The shop occasionally hosts special events, book signings, trunk shows, and sales. Private events can also be arranged at the shop by request.

Perhaps you'd like to have a birthday party centered around a knitting lesson. Or a baby shower during which everyone learns to knit a square for a baby blanket. Or a corporate networking event that features knitting instruction. Or a book club that encourages participants to knit while discussing the book. Nina: a well-knit shop is available for these and other special events.

Contact us to learn more.
