Tokyo Shawl Kits

We have samples and kits for the gorgeous Isager Tokyo Shawl, and oh my goodness are they fabulous. The graphic diagonal stripes of this design really show off the beautiful Isager yarns.
The samples and kits use Spinni Tweed and Alpaca 1. I love that our samples are different shades to really show off the cool options. That dark grey one is wowza. The kits are $150, which seems so reasonable for so much of this stunning yarn. The longer I look at these samples, the more I struggle to resist these!

Go Sports!

Some of us are sports people, and some of us are not. But if you have sports people with cold heads in your life, we have these cute kits for you!
We've packaged them up in a variety of color combinations of Cascade 220 Superwash, so they will be just the thing for pretty much anyone who might like a cozy hat. The design is fun and not-too-flashy for folks who might want a good basic, but still interesting to knit with the textured stitches and stripes. Stop in and see if we have your team kit ready to go!

Eye Candy

Check out these new Silver Bay Scarf kits from Blue Sky Fibers. The kits contain the yarn and pattern that you'll need to make this beautiful scarf.
The elongated stitch pattern looks fancy, but it's very easy to do and makes for some speedy knitting. These kits make lovely gifts for your favorite knitter, or you can send your people in to get one for you!

Eye Candy

We have kits for the super cool Lumens scarf on the cover the Winter 2018 Amirisu. I've been a little obsessed with this scarf since I first saw it. So gorgeous. We don't often do kits, but these were too cool to pass up. I can't wait to see how these work up.

Bounce Baby Blanket

We are not big kit people at the shop, but sometimes a really good one comes along. Like this Bounce Baby Blanket kit from Knitted Wit and tincanknits

These blankets kits use Knitted Wit Victory DK, a sproingy and bouncy machine-washable merino. We have a rainbow variegated kit called Happy Birthday. Look at all of those bright and fun colors!
We also have a more muted option for your hipster baby called So Hip it Hurts. Love that olive brown background colors. And all of the accent colors. This would be so cool!
They were difficult to photograph in the bags, and I was afraid I'd lose a wee skein if I started unpacking. So come on by and see the lovely colors for yourself!
P.S. There are several gorgeous examples of this knit up on Ravelry using these kits! Aghh, now I want one, too!

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!
