Greetings from space! Here’s what’s been happening around the shop!
New Arrivals
New colorways have landed from Pepperberry Knits! We’ve beefed up our sport weight offerings with eight new colorways in full-sized skeins as well as new and custom fun bundles, just in time for our birthday sale.
Hazel Knits Piquant Light is back in the shop! Check out the full run-down of what landed with this shipment here.
New needles, spindles, and magazines have arrived! We’re thrilled to offer a new line of double pointed needles: Nirvana Mango DPNs are available in sizes ranging from US 1 through US 17 and can be found at home on our needle wall. We’ve also welcomed a new batch of Crowfeather drop spindles. These wooden beauties are located across from the register with the rest of our spinning supplies. Last but not least, learn about folk knitting traditions from around the world with Interweave’s Folk Knitting 2015.
