Missed the TanisKnits trunk show last weekend? We still have some of the beautiful handmade bowls left. Perfect for storing your yarn, works-in-progress or other household knickknacks, be sure pick one up in your favorite color!
We are also now fully stocked on the Fibre Co Meadow! This lace weight yarn has a lovely tweed finish and is slightly heavier than your average lace.
We now have these very cool notions cases back in stock from Nancy’s Knit Knacks. Each case is $6 and can hold a ton of tools including stitch markers, darning needles and more. It is basically a tackle box for stitchers!
