New Yarn!

We just received a big box of sparkles, shimmers, and softness from
Feza Yarns!  Feza puts the fun back into knitting with yarns unlike
anything you've seen.  Alp Light, Mesmorize, Night, Jewel and Tokyo
yarns are full of shiny and silky surprises.  Holiday parties are right
around the corner and you will look smashing working the room in a
Feza wrap or shawl!

thumb_platino.jpgFeza's new Platino yarn is a fun, SUPER bulky thick and thin yarn that works up in a flash.  Get out your size 35 needles (yeah, you know you've got 'em!) and knit a scarf in less than 90 minutes!

 

 

Handmade Shawl Pins

We are now carrying a line of lovely, one-of-a-kind shawl pins.  These shawl pins are hand-crafted by a local artisan here in Middle Tennessee.  Made from natural walnut and cherry, each pin has a unique beaded embellishment that truly sets them apart.

Holiday Hours

We will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, but will be open our regular hours on Friday, November 27th.  We will be having hourly in-store specials all day just in time for holiday shopping.  Take a break from the mall and soothe your spirit with some yarn love.

Sock Extravaganza!!!  We have just received 43 - count 'em 43 - new colors of sock yarn.  Fresh out of the box and working their ways to the shelves are:

Southwest Trading Company Tofutsies - a blend of 50% superwash wool, 25% SOYSILK®, 22.5% cotton and 2.5% chitin.  What's chitin, you ask?  It's fiber from shrimp and crab shells and has natural antibacterial properties.
Zitron Trekking XXL and Trekking XXL Tweeds - 75% superwash wool and 25% nylon, with 459 yards per skein.  The variegated colors range from subtle to wild with everything in between; and the tweeds are perfect for men's socks.
Fortissima Degradee - 60% superwash wool, 25% bamboo and 15% nylon.  Not striping or patterning, Degradee has subtle, blended color changes which make it perfect for any sock pattern, but especially those patterns that you want to speak for themselves and not let the yarn get in the way. 
Austermann Step - 75% superwash wool and 25% nylon, this yarn is infused with aloe vera and jojoba oil.  A sock that moisturizes, how cool is that?

Not a sock knitter?  No matter, sock yarn is a great choice for lace projects, shawls, gloves, hats, scarves or baby things.

We've also received gorgeous Skacel Merino Lace in 17 colors!  This lace weight yarn is 100% merino wool with 1,375 yds per skein at a great price!  

Last, but not least, we have Southwest Trading Company KaraokeKaraoke is a blend of 50% wool and 50% SOYSILK® brand fiber.  Beautifully soft and self-striping, in amazing colorways....and it felts!   

Also new! thumb_vintage_lg.jpg

Berroco's new Vintage Wool.  This fabulous new yarn brings the feel and hand of the softest wools and the easy care of today's acrylics together in one amazing yarn.  In a blend of 50% acrylic, 40% wool and 10% nylon, it's perfect for virtually any project.  And with 217 yards at a great price, it's easy on your wallet, too!

We also have five great new pattern books featuring Berroco yarns, as well as the newest Norah Gaughan collection - Volume 5.  If you're
familiar with her work, believe me, this newest collection will not disappoint!

We've also just received our first shipment of Cascade Heritage sock yarn.  In rich solids and lucious hand paints, Cascade Heritage will quickly become your favorite sock yarn. 

 

 

 





 
 
Spotlight on...........Great American Afghan Knitalong!!  

thumb_dscn2490.jpgthumb_gaa book.jpg In January, we started a knitalong ("KAL" for short!) for the Great American Afghan.  This stunning work of art is made up of 25 separate squares - each pattern was contributed by a different designer, including Lily Chin, Melissa Leapman, Nicky Epstein, Sally Melville, and many other incredible talents.  We have a sample of this beautiful afghan in the shop so you can see for yourself how fantastic it truly is.

We will be knitting one square per month, so we have lots of time to work on this project.  We are offering a weekday session and weekend session each month for your convenience.  Choose the date that's best for you, or come both times if you want!  There is no fee for this KAL.  All we request is that you have your own copy of the pattern book (no sharing, please), and purchase your yarn from us.  We will offer a 10% discount on the purchase of the pattern book when you sign up.  If you've never participated in a knitalong before, it's a great way to learn and share with others who are making the same thing!  

We meet on the last Friday/Saturday of the month, with our next session set for Friday, September 25th, from 10:00 am - 12:00 noon, or Saturday, September 26th, from 10:00 am - 12:00 noon.  If you are interested in joining this KAL, just jump on in!

Call or stop by for more information or to sign up!
