Greetings from space! Here’s what’s been going on around the shop.
New Arrivals
We’ve been invaded by yarns from our neighbors to the north, and we kind of love it. First up, we’re pleased to introduce a new-to-us base from Sweet Georgia. Superwash Six is a 6-ply bulky merino that’s washable for easy care. Each skein is $24 for 115 yards and knits up on US 9 to 11 needles (5.5 to 8 mm).
Two bases of the elusive Sweet Fiber has returned to space! Merino Twist DK, is 260 yards of a 100% superwash merino for $24. Merino Twist Worsted is 200 yards of 100% superwash merino and also is $24.
We’ve also got Interweave Spring 2015 and Pom Pom Spring 2015 back in stock this week! Stop in and be inspired.
