zuma
I just received an email from Namaste that the Zuma bags in Eggplant are in.  They will be shipped to me this week and hopefully they will arrive next week. 
 
There was a surprise note in the email-the Cali Cozy and Mini-Cozy will also be available in Eggplant.
Debbie Bliss
 
debbie
The first Debbie Bliss magazine was a huge success and sold out quickly.  The next magazine will be available in February.  The new magazine will feature Prima (80% Bamboo and 20% Extrafine Merino), Cashmerino Baby and a new Aran weight cotton called Eco Cotton.

If you are interested in reserving a copy of the magazine, please send me an email
Silk Garden
 
I talked with the Canadian distributor of Noro yarns today to ask when out of stock colours of Silk Garden will be available and he told me that there are some discontinued colours-don't worry-there will be new colours for fall 2009.
 
Here is the list of colours that are gone (we still have stock of most of them)
84     87     221    226
241   246   249   251
252   264   270 
 
He also told me that there will be new colours of Silk Garden Sock and Silk Garden Lite coming for spring.

We hope you had a good holiday season.  Sarah got married on New Years Eve and it was a great wedding.  Jane spent the holidays in Florida and came home this week to the extreme cold.
 
I am off to San Diego this weekend to see the new yarns and accessories for spring.  I will be continuing on to Las Vegas for a couple of days and will be back on the 24th.  Jane, Cathy and Sarah will be looking after the store for me.  Any orders placed while I am away will be shipped on the 26th.

Spring Rowan
 
Rowan magazine 45 is scheduled to be released this week.  Shipping from the US to us takes about a week so it should be arriving in the store around the time I get back.
 
Here are some pictures to get you excited.
honeysuckle
I gasped when I saw the picture of this.  Honeysuckle by Sarah Hatton knit in Kidsilk Haze.  There are four new colours for spring.
anemone
Anemone by Martin Storey knit in Cotton Glace.  There are two new shades of Cotton Glace for spring. 
ravenscar
Ravenscar by Sarah Hatton knit in All Seasons Cotton.  We haven't carried the All Seasons in the store for a couple of years but I have ordered some for the fabulous garments in the new magazine.
runswick and flamborough 
Runswick (on the left) from Martin Storey knit in Handknit Cotton which has three new colours.  Flamborouh is knit in All Seasons Cotton and was designed by Sarah Hatton. 
red earth
Kaffe Fassett brings us Red Earth knit in Summer Tweed.  Summer Tweed has been forgotten a bit lately but there are three new shades and lots of designs in the new magazine.
