We have a couple events coming up for you in November.  First, the Malabrigo trunk show will be here through Thursday, November 10th, so come by before then to check out all the wonderful samples and get inspired!
 
Second, on Saturday, November 12th we will have a pop up shop for Hippie Art Chick and Doodle Fibers.  Hippie Art Chick is a fiber lover who is currently focused on pottery, so expect some wonderful yarn bowls among other things. Doodle Fibers specializes in exquisitely hand blended rolags, wooly worms and batts.  They will also have spindles from The Dancing Goats available and will be teaching on the spot lessons if you need help with how to spin any of their lovely fibers. Facebook event here.

Don't forget to vote on November 8th.  If you come in that day with your 'I voted' sticker, you will receive 15% off one item!
 
 
 
 
New In The Shop
 
 
We have a fresh shipment of fantasticly dyed yarn from Rhichard Devrieze.  Rhichard's Peppino is identical to Koigu KPPPM except it comes in 65g skeins with 225 yards of 100% superwash merino per skein.  We just got a shipment of 12 varigated and 3 solid colors that are quite gorgeous.  Plus, we also got 40 mini-skeins in at least 30 different colorways, so if you are into minis, come check them out!  Peppino works well for any fingering weight project from shawls to socks.  Here are a few patterns that are particularly fitting: Broken Seed Stitch SocksYours Truly Summer(shawl), Garter Stripe Baby SocksBaby Wrap Sweater, Sock Yarn Sweater (child's version) Koigu Linen Stitch Scarf, and Painted (scarf/shawl).
 
 
Our other new yarn this month is Baby Yak Medium by mYak.  This worsted weight yarn is made from 100% baby yak down and is exquisitely soft.  With 125 yards per 50g skein, it knits up nicely on a US size 7-8.  Some patterns that are perfect for this yarn are Cabled Wristers, Celtic Cable Neckwarmer, Optimistic Mitts, Treads (tipless gloves), Gellatly Hat, Bough (hat), Bray Cap, Dovetail Cowl and Foster Island Cowl.
 
 
 
We got a huge shipment of Malabrigo in just in time for the trunk show.  The shipment included 19 colors of Rios, some new, some old, but all beautiful.  Rios is a worsted weight superwash merino that is perfect for anything from sweaters to hats to baby and kids clothing.  We are happy to have our new expanded Rios section finally full!
 
 
We've also got a new shipment of ceramic buttons.  These range in character from whimsical to abstract and in size from 1/2" to 2 1/4".  Handmade buttons can really complement a piece of hand knitting, they can even be sewn on as a accent in a piece that doesn't call for buttons or be used to decorate other crafts.
 
Yarn of the Month
The yarn of the month for November is Blue Sky Extra.  This yarn comes in an Extra big skein of 218 yards per 150 grams of 55% baby alpaca and 45% merino.  Some patterns that are popular with Extra are Tatras Fingerless Mitts, Reversible Rivulet Scarf, Tokyo Tower BandanaExtra Slouch Hat, Sweet Sixteen Hat, Adama Cowl, and Two Harbors Poncho (pictured below).
