Good morning lovely knitters!  I am so happy to be COOL this morning.  It makes me know that delightful fall will one day really come again!  And thank goodness because we are having such a rainfall of fall yarns...it is crazy!  

Before we get to the NEW, tomorrow is the last day that you can grab a Colorful Cuddles kit - complete with a whole issue of the Noro Magazine and 10% off too!

And, since this is a bit of a theme lately, we have a NEW last chance kit!  I've been hanging on to Noro Tsubame for dear life, but in fact, it is a goner, which means we put together the remaining balls into Impressionist kits!  They are now 10% off and include a pattern download.  These are very last chance as the yarn no longer exists.  (WAAAAHHH!)  But it is such a fun, gorgeous pattern - hopefully we'll see a few more!

We've also got kits put together for the Greater Boston Yarn Crawl pattern - Saltwater!  You can grab the pattern for free here, and see our gorgeous colors here!

We also had NEW Mad Balls this week!  A tough set to put together, but I finally had enough for Color Riot!

And don't forget, if you haven't started your Melange yet for our Melange KAL - there's plenty of time to get our Melange Scarf

Baby Melange 

or Mad Melange on the needles and finish by October 1st!

And don't forget - fall classes are up!  Get your spot before they fill up!

And now lovelies, the NEW yarns!  Drool worthy Espiral and El Gigante from Araucania.  I want one of each, and in fact, that is exactly how ONE person bought them!  

Super soft Merino - dyed in gorgeous colors!  These are Bulky and Super Bulky so you can get some quick to knit projects done!

And lovely Queensland Tov.  This is a great woolie delight - like Lopi, but not scratchy and an incredible price!  Time to plan a nice Norwegian sweater?  I think so!

I honestly could go on and on and on about all this fun stuff, but I feel like this is already a super overwhelming update!  So, I'll just say, I hope to see you!!

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!
