We are starting to receive the Prism Trunk Show garments and yarns. Laura Bryant, owner of Prism Yarns, has pulled together a fabulous selection of gorgeous new garments and supporting fibers, and I truly cannot wait to share them with you! Heck, I can't wait to get my hands on them myself!

If your family is looking for the perfect gift, be sure to let them know that we are here to help, The Lisa M.

Never underestimate the power of a gift you'll use and enjoy every day, like a set of gleeming Addi Interchangeable needles. Already have Addis? Get one of the brand new Chiaogoo red cord interchangeable sets - perfect for knititng in the round on two circulars. Stop by the shop and have a look.
