More new yarn... This is a Bamboo(70%)/Silk(30%) blend which is exquisite, and perfect for summer. This yarn more resembles silk than anything else, and is so soft that you absolutely have to feel it to believe it... It is one of the finest we have ever seen. We also received a companion book with patterns made exclusively for this yarn! The colors are incredible, but not as incredible as this yarn is.

July 26, We just updated our class offerings. Also, Boris got the hat he demanded after he got his new scarf. Now, to add insult to injury, he is now wanting the air conditioner turned cooler so he can wear his new scarf and hat and still be comfortable!

We received eight beautiful colors of Jojoland "Melody", which is a superwash, 100% wool yarn, and is 220 yards per ball. It is a great yarn, and is perfect for many projects. It is also very high quality. Stop by and have a look.

July 16: Boris watched with great attention as the new scarf (photo below) was taking shape. It is a traditional scarf made with Feza "Cypress Mohair" yarn, using 2 (100gr) skeins, using the Brioche stitch. It is incredibly "cozy," soft and appealing. It is also an easy scarf to make! Now if Boris' taking this new scarf for himselfd was not enough, he now wants a matching hat!

Two new examples of the venerable Moebius....

The Moebius to the left is a "hybrid" that was knitted using 9 different yarns, including a ribbon yarn that gives the finished garment a unique if not compelling appeal. Among the yarns used are: Karabella "Magic," Phildar "Mediteranee," Gedifra "Lungo," Katia "Sevilla," OnLine "Chic," and fove others. Use your own creativity to make a unique, creation that makes a statement about you. The Moebius featured in the photo to the right was made using Colinette "Grotto" yarn. To setoff this Moebius and give it a unique appearance we added fringes. We offer classes on making any Moebius of your choosing. Stop by the store and look at the examples we have on display, and select the design that best reflects you, and then select the perfect yarn to ensure that it is "uniquely YOU."

We just added a new resource in our "Free Patterns" gallery. Cascade Yarns has some very great free patterns available, and we have placed a link to their free patterns on our website for your convenience.

New "Graceful Shell" top made with two skeins of Trendsetter "Minestrone" yarn. This top is very striking, elegant, and functional. The Trendsetter yarn was perfect, and it is durable, as well as quite beautiful. We offer a class in making this top, which is a two hour class, and costs $30.

Another Moebius??? - Just when you thought there could not be any more variations... (believe it or not, there are two more Moebius in process!) This one is named "Scottish Wave", and it was made using three skeins of Karabella, New Magic yarn. It is quite exquisite, and the gold sparkles truly make this a unique complement for your wardrobe. It is light weight, and would be the perfect adornment for a party, or other social event.

The possibilities for Moebius' are limited only by your imagination. No two will be alike, and those subtale differences make a world of difference. The Infinity Moebius below represents subtle changes in how it was made, and they dramatically change the finished product. You can make them "upscale," "elegant," or for more casual attire, no matter, a hand knitted Moebius makes a dramatic statement and sets you apart i a very positive way. We offer classes for any variation of Moebius you care to make. Stop by the store and see the examples of Moebius that we have on display.

Trendsetter's "Cha Cha" is a very unusual yarn, with nearly limitless possibilities. It is a blend of 47% wool, 47% acrylic, and 6% polymide, and it is incredibly wonderful against the skin as it is very soft, and comfortable. The scarf below is testament to tis, and is available for you to see in the store. We offer a 1 hour class in making this scarf for $15. Cha Cha is available in ten different colors, and while we stock Cha Cha, it has sold quickly to the point that we have a re-order pending. This scarf is not terribly difficult to make, and can be a perfect complement to your wardrobe, or to setoff that perfect outfit for a special occasion.

This Arrow Lace Scarf was made with three skeins of Cascade "Pima Tencel" yarn, which is incredibly soft and inviting. It almost feels like silk, and is 50% cotton, and 50% Tencel. The finished scarf speaks for itself. Stop by the store and see for yourself.

We have an exciting new "variation" on the "Infinity Moebius," which will catch everyone's eye. This time it is a lace moebius with fringes. This was knitted using Erdal Magic, which is a rayon(70%)/cotton(30%) blend. The yarn is quite unique, and is ideal for summer, as it is light and airy. This Moebius definitely makes a fashion statement and will be a perfect completment to your summer attire. We offer a class in making this Moebius, which is two hours, and is $30.
