  You may notice on your next visit that ReBelle has done a little rearrangeing.  We just got 24 new cubbies, so we had to move things around a little bit and we actually think it's organized a little more logically now.  If you can't find something, just ask us!
 
 The Fall class calendar is up and it is loaded with some fabulous classes, so go check it out HERE.
 
New In The Shop
Sarah has dyed up some more Bulky!  The Sarah-Dyed bulky is a fluffy cozy superwash merino with 112yds per 112g skein.  It knits up great on a size 11-13 needle.  Here are some patterns that work nicely with this yarn.  Wee Speedy 2 (baby vest), Wee Sweet (baby vest), Purl Ridge Hat, Pike's Peak (hat), Gradient Mitts, Carseat Blanket, Simple Stroller Blanket, Full Moon Cowl and Unicorn Hooded Cowl.
There's a new yarn from Malabrigo, and you know we had to have it in the shop!  It's called Mora and it's a fingering weight 100% pure mulberry silk.  It's soft and shiny and the colors are absolutely stunning.   I picture Mora being used for shawls, but it would serve well for cowls, scarves, hats and sweaters as well.  Some patterns that I think would be perfect for Mora are: Sweet Dreams (shawl), Estuary (scarf/wrap), The Travelling Companion Shawl, Three Sisters Scarves # Two, and Forever Yours (shawl).
We have some great bags from Binkwaffle!  We love these bags because they are made from sturdy canvas, they are nice and wide when you open them, so it's easy to see everything that's inside and they are reversible!  They are great for your knitting projects, we have small ones and large ones.  The hardest part is deciding which fabric you want to show on the outside!
 
Yarn of the Month
The yarn of the month for September is Gina.  Gina is a 100% wool worsted weight yarn with a slow color change.  It comes in 50g balls with 109 yards each.  There are many projects that would be great for this yarn, but here is a small sampling to inspire you: Camp Out Fingerless Mitts, Ispira Cowl, Phoncible (hat) and Booga Bag.  It's 10% off all month long!!
