Spring Has Sprung !!!

Well, Spring is here or we hope so at last. The brighter days are very welcome. Thank you to everyone who joined us on April 2nd for the super sell-down. Hope you got some great deals for those projects you’ve always wanted to do.

Spring & Summer Yarns are Here!

No need to stop knitting just because winter is over. Lots of lovely cottons and blends are now in-stock for your summer enjoyment. Lots of colour choices and lovely weights to use. Cascade Avalon, Amalfi DK, Little Bird -sport, Beachcomber DK and more!

We are going to be continuing with the Feature Project each month. It will have the yarn available at a 15% discount and you will work on it on your own.

A new change with our KAL’s. Now to be worked as a group class on Saturday mornings 10am-12pm. Every so many weeks there will be a new Knit A Long offered. It will be a project that features a particular yarn (sometimes a new one into the store) or a certain technique or both together. The yarn, pattern & accessories will be offered at regular price but the class will only be a single one-time fee (not per session) ($20, $40 or $60). Schedule of group class will be listed with each KAL.
