New In The Shop

 

 

 

 

 

We've got some new project bags from Slipped Stitch Studios.  We love her bags for the fun fabrics and the thoughtful details that knitters will appreciate such as roomy interior pockets and yarn guides on the larger bags.  We're also happy to have a couple of her Go Crafty Travel Cases.  These bags have clear zippered exterior pockets perfect for circular needles and larger notions, the zipper keeps them contained, but the clear plastic allows you to see what's inside.  Inside the large interior zippered section are more pockets, great for straight needles, double points or smaller notions.  Plus, each one comes with a detatchable shoulder strap so you can easily take your Go Crafty Travel case with you everywhere!

 

 

More new bags, this time from Binkwaffle!  If you're not familiar, these sturdy bags are great because whey you undo the strap, it's easy to see everything inside, plus they are made from sturdy canvas fabric and 100% reversible.  The hardest part is deciding which side you like best!

The yarn of the month for March is Silk Garden Sock (including Silk Garden Sock Solo).  Though it's name implies a sock yarn, Silk Garden Sock is actually a sport weight and gets used for nearly everything.  It can be used for socks, but often looks stunning in shawls and sweaters and makes lovely accessories as well.  Robyn paired it with Zooey in her Crosshatch Shawl.  It would also work delightfully well in these patterns: Ida's kitchen (hat), Cropped Jacket, Baby Surprise Jacket, Gradient Radiant Boomerang (shawl), Spectra (shawl) and Noro Striped Scarf.

		Spinning Art Yarn Corespinning and Add-Ins ($20)   Corespinning is a great way to show off the colors and textures of a batt. In this class you will learn to spin fiber around a yarn core. You will learn proper technique as well as a few tricks for creating a balanced yarn. After the corespinning we will spend a little time learning different techniques for adding flowers, beads, and other items to your handspun yarns. This is an intermediate spinning class so you will need to come to class with a working knowledge of your wheel and basic spinning techniques. Saturday, March 11th 1-3pm
