Summer yarn sale!

C'mon in! Our annual summer yarn sale is going on now through August 14th. Yarn is 20-50% off! Now's a good to time to stock up. Summer is over before you can blink in Maine, and soon we'll all be thinking about knitting warm scarves again!

In the meantime, if you want to knit up a quick and cool summer vest, please go to the Knitting Fever website for the pattern. There's lots of other wonderful free patterns on their site. Check it out! We carry much of their yarn line, and if you see something we don't have, we'd be more than happy to order it for you.

In other news, the Bob Nichols needle felting workshops are now scheduled! The beginner class will be on August 7th from 9:30-noon, and the intermediate class is in the afternoon from 1-3. The workshops are $20 and all supplies are included. Please check this earlier post for more information about the class. Bob's a great teacher and his classes are so much fun! Please call 872-2118 to sign up, or just stop by the store. Stop by anyway, and check out the yarn sale. That yarn you've been hankering for may be 50% off!

Needle felting class scheduled (and other news)

We're happy to have a date for our upcoming needle felting class with Bob Nichols.It'll be on June 19th, from 9:30 to noon. Check out Bob's needle felted art over at the Valley Arts Alliance website. Bob is a great teacher and it'll be a lot of fun!. The workshop is twenty dollars including all the supplies you'll need. Please call 872-2118 to reserve your spot.

We've got lots of new items in the store. The HiyaHiya needle set pictured above is absolutely gorgeous. The same company also makes what they call Dumpling Cases, filled with stitch markers. Check them out! Wonder how they open up? You'll have to come into the store to find out!


If you can't make it into the store, we do ship. Don't hesitate to call us, tell us what you want or need, and we'll get it right out to you. No, we don't have an online store, because we're old-fashioned that way.

Three goods reasons to stop by

The first good reason is that if you know the secret password*, you'll get a free gift. The second good reason is that the 20% yarn sale is still on, and will be through February 13th. The third good reason is because just browsing is a good way to beat the winter blahs. When Maine's gray, cold, and covered with snow, it's good to come in and see all the colors in the store!

Happy crafting, whatever you make!

*Oh, here's the secret password: "I didn't get the coupon from the newspaper. I saw it on the blog." Don't worry if you don't say it correctly. We're not strict.

Isn't that baby sweater cute? We've still got Debbie Bliss Cashmerino DK and Cashmerino Aran at 25% off and it's going fast!
