Interesting additions

It's always exciting to bring new products into the store, especially in the spring when things are a little quieter, and arrivals a bit more spread out. 
 
 
We often have people asking for gift items of knitting, and are thrilled to be able to offer a full range of  DEEPLY FELT products. Felted mittens, novelty mitts and slipper/socks in a variety of sizes and colours. Each pair is a unique expression of the knitter's creativity.

We often hear how our customers appreciate the store samples that we have knitted and on display. This cutie is a worsted/aran weight baby bunting bag with simple cables in the front and a fold up pouch inside to keep baby's feet warm. We made this one of Cascade PACIFIC Worsted, for just $28.

What a run on summer scarf yarns. It's why we keep getting new and different stock in. All are prefect for our Summer Infinity Scarf pattern and the Jewel Cowl pattern on our pattern website.
Oh, and did I mention that all of these yarns are "Special Purchases" and are available at terrific reductions!
