Good morning lovely knitters! I hope you are all enjoying this New England Spring!  Boy, one day I'm outside, plotting plants and knitting in the sun, and the next morning its snowing.  You just never know!   But today is my favorite kind of spring day - sunny and crisp!  Perfect for a yarn fondle, but also a little vitamin D!

We had NEW Mad Balls this week!  This is the last of the batch that mirrors the Mad Ball Capelet color, so grab one while you can if you have been hoping for that batch to come back!

We also got in this delicious NEW Poema Mohair!  This is super soft mohair with 30% Silk!  And the gradient colors are gorgeous!

Also - mark your calendar - April 25th is LYS Day!  We're going to have some great fun in store so make sure you pop in!

We have just a few Red Hats left and I'm trying to finish that off, so if you know anyone who still wants one - send them our way!

And just a head's up to those of you who are feeling the spring itch.  We are now accepting destashing again.  For those of you who don't know - you can bring in your unwanted yarn (no bugs, no scents please - those things can head to the trash!) and we'll weigh it and give you 250 stash cash points for every pound!  You can clean out the old and get some great discounts for something new!  Partial, unlabeled skeins are also fine.  Spring yarn clean out weekend?  Maybe you'll find some rogue red in that stash!  Also, please come in Thursday thru Saturday if possible if you are bringing destash.

You can find us on Facebook and Instagram, you can also now find us on Bluesky!  So, if you have already fled the others, follow us there!  We'd love to see you!

Ok - that's it!  We've got loads of yarn if you are looking to be tempted and will be open regular hours.
