Welcome to Spring

It is hard to imagine but we are starting to order fall yarns.

The trend that stands out is self-striping yarns. Noro started the trend and you will see it everywhere, including Rowan.


Fiesta Rayon Boucle

For a cool summer evening this Shoulder Scarf looks great over a little black dress or jeans and a t-shirt.

One skein will make the scarf. Choose from the 41 handpainted colours available. We try to keep all of the colours in stock.

Fiesta has introduced Starburst Rayon Boucle that has a metallic thread running through the yarn for a dressier look.

These amazing needlepoint kits are available in the store. We can't carry the complete line but if you want a kit that we don't have it can be ordered and will arrive within 2 weeks.

You can make the kit into a pillow, frame for a picture or join the kits together to create a rug or wall hanging. Jane, who works in the store and is one of my knitters, has completed 2 different rugs.

You work a cross-stitch so that the completed fabric is thick and will withstand wear.


Sirdar Luxury Cotton DK
