October is breast cancer awareness month and we are participating in the Knitted Knocker program which provides knitted and crocheted prosthetic breasts free of charge to women who have undergone mastectomies.  Visit knittedknockers.org for patterns and drop off your finished knockers (stuffed or unstuffed) at ReBelle.

We will also be having free workshops on October 15th if you need help or just want to knit along with others. Knitting instruction will be available from 12-2pm and crochet instruction will be available from 2-4pm. We will have refreshments and all participants will get 25% off Ultra Pima (the preferred yarn of the Knitted Knocker program).
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
New In The Shop
 
 
Do you like BIG yarn? Well, with 58 yards per 400g skein, Mondo lives up to its name. It knits up on a size 50 needle and will make quick work of any project. Plus, Mondo is super soft and squishy, likely because it's a 50/50 alpaca/wool blend. Some patterns that work with Mondo are Mondo Fisherman Rope Cowl, Nantucket Throw, Wonderful Big Stitch Throw and Phil Big Cable Pillow.
 
 
We have a fresh supply of Knit Collage, including their Pixie Dust and Cast Away yarns as well as these super cute sampler kits that come with mini skeins of Spun Cloud, Wildflower, Daisy Chain, Cast Away and Gypsy Garden. These samplers can be good for testing out their yarns, using for trim on borders, weaving, or they come with a pattern for a cute cowl.
 
 
We have some new clear front pouches from Chic-a as well as some of their project bags. These clear front pouches are great, the small ones work as notions bags and the larger ones can hold patterns or small projects.
