Good morning lovely knitters! Boy, the yarn has been rolling into the store at quite a clip this week! FOUR new yarns came in, but we only had a chance to get 2 of them online for today's email. So, if you are local, come look at them all! They are DELICIOUS!
But first, make sure you have your plan set to come in for the Greater Boston Yarn Crawl NEXT week - Thursday thru Sunday! You can pop in and grab a passport or print one from the GBYC website yourself. And, though I would love to see you all that weekend, I know that some of you like to avoid the crowds, so make sure you come in today! I know the chill this morning MUST have put you in yarny minds!
We have so many prizes, specials, and yarny fun planned for the GBYC, I'm going to have to save that for next week and hope that I can make it all coherent! Ha!
We put up new Learn to Knit and Crochet for Beginners classes this weekend - so check them out and send them to your friends who are envious of your mad skills!
And now - NEW YARN!!! These two, of course, can be used on their own, but as they coordinate, there is going to be a lot of fun in combining them!
Great dyes and amazingly cool textures - what would be better!
This Holt Jacket is great one to make with these yarns!
We also got some awesome NEW Ella Rae Prismatic and Flux, but those ones haven't made it online yet! So much to do! But they are worth coming in for a looksy!
Oh, and just so you know (I've made many people emailing me about it), YES! We are doing Advent boxes this year. We are actually having 2 versions - our regular loads of crazy yarns version and a NEW hand-dyed version. We'll be putting these up for preorder after the crawl and will send it to the mailing list first, so if you are as excited as we are, make sure your getting our emails so that you don't miss out!
Ok, I'm gonna keep it short today because next week, there will be ALL the words coming at you!
I hope to see you today!
