Saturday, August 29, 2026

Good morning lovely knitters!  What a relief it was to wake up to a cool morning!  I think I'm pretty over summer.  You?  The crisp air made me so happy!

Lots of new FUN this week!

We had the last of our batch of Color Riot Mad Balls!

AND new batches of Duo!!  

Perfect for a Zuo hat!

And NEW Mirasol Riti!  So soft and tweedy!

To make space, we also moved Casita to the sale bin!  It is a gorgeous one - so don't miss out before it disappears for good!

I saw some really pretty Melange projects walk their way into the shop - how is yours going?  If you haven't started yet - get it going!  There's still time!  And we just might have a special prize for you if you bring it during the yarn crawl!  Find kits here

and here -

or grab a Mad Ball with some Tufty color to make a Mad Melange!

Speaking of the yarn crawl - it is September 24-27!  Make sure you mark your calendar!  There will be so much fun in store AND we have GORGEOUS kits put together for Saltwater - the 2026 crawl shawl!

And speaking of your calendar - check out fall classes, starting soon!

Our Impressionist kits are quickly dwindling - and it is the last chance for these so get one before they are gone!

Ok - that might've been overwhelming, but such is fall!  Happy yarn everywhere!!

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!
