3. New inventory
Many new yarns have come in since our last knitnews. A few highlights:
- Mmmmmmmalabrigo - need I say more? It's going fast, so hurry in to get some!
- From Berroco, more Ultra Alpaca colors, and Pure Merino DK
- LOADS more colors of Cascade 220 and Pima-Tencel
- Schoppel Wolle Ambiente and Baby Alpaka Naturbelassen (all of which are remarkable and very nearly brought me to tears!)
- A tiny sampling of the BEAUTIFUL Handmaiden Sea Silk (fingering weight), Double Sea Silk (DK weight), and Sea Three (worsted)
- Gorgeous Ecobutterfly organic cottons and recycled glass beads
4. As Always
knitnight Tuesdays 6-10pm:
Our FREE knitnight Tuesdays from 6-10pm continue to be an exciting and popular opportunity to come hang out and make new knitterly friends -- so popular, in fact, that you might want to arrive early or BYO chair! All fiber artists are welcome (crochet, needlepoint, spinning, cat’s cradle, etc) – though we do request that tiny fiber artists (budding young knitters and crocheters under age 18) head home after the first hour, since knitnight is on a school night (and since knitters often broach subjects of conversation not suitable for underage ears).
NEW knitclub Sundays 2-6pm:
Knitnight has become so popular that we've added knitclub Sundays from 2-6pm. As with knitnight, Sunday knitclub is also 100% free -- not only is there no cost, you are FREE to bring whatever project is currently on your needles. Even if you're stuck and need advice or help resolving a dropped stitch or other error, come in and we'll see if someone can debug it. There's no charge for that either.
Free wireless:
Don't forget that we offer free wireless to our customers and their knitcomplices, so bring that laptop to browse ravelry or check a pattern on knitty, or whip out your iPhone and make use of our speedy fast connection to learn a new technique on youtube.
Yarnstorm 09:
Bring some yarn graffiti to decorate our ducts and get 10% off your entire purchase! Swatches need to be 26 inches in length and anywhere from 4-10" wide. This offer is valid until the ducts are fully covered in yarn graffiti (they are getting close!).
A great big thanks to all of you who have continue to make our store such a happy and wonderful place to be. We hope that in the coming months we can make it even better!
Warm (& sweatery) regards,
Helena, Karen, & Lexi
