The shop will be closed this weekend while Ginni, Mary, Antonella and I are at TNNA. TNNA is the national trade show for all things yarn.

Our summer mystery knitalong is ready to launch! Mary has chosen a great wrap worked in Pima Kuri, a silky soft, cotton in juicy colors to brighten your summer wardrobe. Pima Kuri is a worsted weight yarn, so the project goes really fast - you'll be wearing it before This one is an easy pattern, so even relatively new knitters can join in the fun.

It takes three skeins, and we've selected a few favorite combinations to inspire you, but picking the colors is the best part, so come in the shop and see them in person.

Kick off is Saturday, June 18, just before the Summer Solstice!

Come by the shop to choose your colors! Can't make it to the shop? We'll be posting coordinated kits this week, so you can be part of it wherever you are!
