New Arrivals
Well, the fall knitting season is upon us! Very exciting!!! Over the next few weeks, many of our fall orders will be arriving.
The first to arrive, are some of the new Berroco Yarns. The MOST exciting thus far in 2009 is Vintage Wool. I am in love with this yarn!!! This should be a Best Seller for us. Why you ask? Well, first of all, it is so soft and luxurious. Second. it comes in the beautiful heather Berroco colorways. Third, it is machine washable. Fourth, it is 50% merino wool, 40% acrylic and 10% nylon. But, you can't feel the acrylic (HONEST). Now the best part, the price is $6.00 for a hank of 217 yards. You have to feel it to believe it. We now have 15 colors in stock!!! So stop by the shop and feel the excitement!!!!!
