Good Evening Knit Friends, We'd like to introduce some new ideas we've been working on. First up is a new product we're introducing into the online saleroom. We are starting a grab bag feature. Grab bags will be priced at $10, $20, and $30 dollars. Each bag will contain between 7-10 skeins of yarn. When you order a grab bag there will not be a color choice as each bag may contain multiple colors perfect for a scrappy project. All grab bag purchases will have an additional shipping charge of $5...

Hello Knitter Friends, There are a couple more hours tomorrow (11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.) for in-store sales at our After Christmas Sale. Susan wanted me to remind everyone that the shop will be closed next week, but we're not really closed, because you can still shop online during our Holiday Break. The store will resume our normal (still truncated) hours on January 8th. If you need something in a rush, leave a note when placing your order and we'll make every attempt to accommodate your...

The After Christmas Sale code for the online cart is 2020ACSALE. With this, you will get 30% off all yarn purchases excluding MAKS and Sale Room purchases. Some of the yarns chosen for the Sale Room were not in the online inventory so those will be available at their sale prices in store. The rest have been added to the new area called "Sale Room." Susan gets a Sale Room in-store, so I should get one online too, don't you think? And here are the hours for the sale: Everyone stay safe and have...

Hey, Happy Friday Knitters! Just taking a break from working on the website today. We had an issue where some of the color pictures from a couple of items disappeared (bad Square). And I wanted to take a quick minute to remind you of the trunk show tomorrow from Wabash Woollen Works. They will be visiting tomorrow from 11-4 at the shop and Susan is going to blog on her Instagram and Facebook. I've included some photos from WWW along with some great items that Susan and friends have whipped up...

Next Saturday, November 29th is the Fountain Square Local Business Holiday. Because, honestly, after this year, we need more holidays! We just finished our Virtual Fall Retreat with some really cool giveaways. We have more events coming soon! We'll send a note out on our rescheduled Wabash Woollen Mills Trunk show.

Susan called from the umbrella closet on the beach at Sanibel Island (you can ask her when you see her about that story), to ask me to let you all know about an update for this weekend. The Wabash Woollen Works Trunk Show for this Saturday, November 14th has been put on temporary hold. We are hoping to reschedule it in the coming weeks (will be on a Saturday) before December 5th. We'll update you as soon as we have it on the schedule again! Also, she asked me to let everyone know that has...

Voting will finish in just two days. If you haven't voted yet, I encourage you to do so. And while you're waiting, we've created a pattern for you to knit. From my personal experience, knitting while waiting to vote had several interesting benefits. Firstly, it depoliticized the whole process. During my two hour wait, not one person asked who I was voting for or what was my party affiliation. It did however start several conversations about the project, about my knitting, and seemed to make...

The store will be closed tomorrow November 1st, and starting Monday through November 12th orders can be placed on the website for pickup, shipping, or you may call the store during the current schedule with an order to be picked up, but there will be no in-store service during this time. Any orders placed for shipping starting November 3rd through November 11th will be shipped on November 12th. The store will reopen for current hours and business starting November 12th.
