Holiday Hours and Cotton Candy

Hopefully you are all finding some time to relax this weekend. If you need to stock up on your knitting supplies, we are open today from 10AM-6PM. (No Open Knit Night tonight though.) We are happy to set you up with a fun and satisfying project for traveling or just hanging out. Maybe a fun hat with this Knitted Wit Cotton Candy? Or these cozy slippers?

Spun Right Round Fade Kits

Have you all jumped on the fade bandwagon? You can fade hats, shawls (so many shawls), sweaters (for kids and grown ups)...so many possibilities. Basically, you choose a range of yarns that all play nicely together and knit them into something that makes you happy.
This seems to work really nicely with hand-dyed yarns. Lucky you! We have a bunch of gorgeous sets all ready for you from Spun Right Round
We have some neons, some earthtones, some pastels, and some black and whites with a pop. These have been packaged up in sets of six or five, so you can choose what you need based on the size of your projects. 
These will make great gifts (hint, hint) and they are going fast! Stop in and find your favorite fade!

Jagger Heather

 
This Jagger Heather yarn is such a dream all knit up. We have this gorgeous hat sample in the shop...look at all that beautiful variation. It's a weighty Aran weight, but I can't figure out which yarn it is on Ravelry! Regardless, it's amazing. Look at these colors! (Especially that red...oh my.)
