Fall yarns are starting to arrive at a nice clip, which means the SALE BIN is PACKED FULL to make space for new yarns!  There are gorgeous (nearly impossible to let go of) things in there, so make sure you get your soon!

We also have a NEW, QUICK featured pattern for August - the Lacey Scarf!  The Lacey Scarf is just the thing to finish off a long, hot summer! Easy easy and quick - it just might be the perfect thing to take on those last trips to the beach! And then you’ll have a gorgeous gift ready for the coming holidays - made with just ONE skein of Louisa Harding Provence!  The Lacey scarf will be a free download with just one skein of Provence through August only!

We've got some NEW Fall Classes posted!  Grab your spot before they fill up!

The Greater Boston Yarn Crawl is scheduled for September 25th through the 28th!! Mark your calendar and pop in to make the Crawl Shawl to wear while you make your way around all the shops! We used Cumulus Rainbow and Cumulus for the sample in the shop, but it would also be stupendous in a Mad Ball, Making Tracks or Noro! So many options!
