Good morning lovely knitters! It looks like a delightfully cool day to get your mind into the incoming fall!  We've got SO much lovely stuff - both new and old in store that it would be a great time to come in at get some inspiration and NEW projects!

We put together the remaining balls of wonderful Noro Tsubame 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!

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

And now lovelies, the NEW yarns!  (There's one I didn't manage to get online, but come and have a fondle - otherwise, I'll link it next week!)  Drool worthy Espiral  (a NEW runaway favorite - flirting with everyone that it meets) 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!

 

And because we have been having such a deluge of NEW yarn - there are a few new things in the sale bin!

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!
