SPRING!!!

Warm, beautiful weather is here.  I hope it is here to stay for a while.  And with the Spring holidays upon us, I thought I would get things hopping here at The Yarn Club. 

First, and by popular request, we have Ultra Pima from Cascade.  These colors are just awesome.  Twelve colors arrived and about the same are on back order.  Boo-Hoo for the back order, but this stuff is worth the wait.  The colors are so bright you need sunglasses in the shop.  Perfectly paired with the summery C2knits patterns, this yarn just announces "Spring time is here".

New shop models arrived from Tahki Stacy Charles.  We have an adorable little jacket made from Tiffany.  It's light weight and has just enough sparkle to dress up any outfit.  Perfect with jeans or for a night on the town.  We have a booklet of patterns to match with this cute yarn.  Tiffany arrived with her friend Misty.  We have a fabulous, cute Tee with a small twist in the front.  This perfect little detail really makes the sweater shine.  Misty is a light weight, light worsted yarn in soft pastel colors.  It has drape and style.  Pictured below (but covered by Marina).  These spring yarns from Tahki are sweeter than Passover wine.

Since we mentioned Marina, This scarf yarn is insane!!!!  The number one, most popular, exciting, fun, mesmerizing, and outrageous yarn of the season.  You can't knit just one.  It's worse than the jelly beans on the counter. So addicting and so much fun. The reorder is expected any minute.  The last order didn't last a week.  I stepped it up a notch and ordered more colors.  Check in often as this stuff hops out fast.

Tuesday night beginner classes start next week with Kiki.  The class is almost full, so if you are a beginner or know someone who would like to learn to knit, call now.  No class April 19th.

Finally, Rowan has shipped the remaining colors of Summer Tweed.  The Kaffe Fassett shawl, has been a huge hit at The Club.  Made from Kid Silk Haze and Summer Tweed, with grace and elegance, this shawl is a show stopper.  So, here is the big news.  Yarn Club members have requested a knit-a-long and more classes.  So we listened.  We are doing a Club knit-a-long/class for "Unwind".  Dates to be announced soon.  Cost is $25 or buy the book for $23.95.  Don't let this amazing project pass you over.

Come celebrate Spring at The Yarn Club.  "Hop" to see you soon.

Table Full of Tosh

What could be better than a "Table full of Tosh"?  NOTHING!!!!!  Madelinetosh arrived this week with a big bang.  With lots of new colors for Spring it is hard to pick a favorite.  Most customers have walked around the store holding two until  finally putting both in a bag and leaving with a huge grin, anxious to get home and cast on.  About ten colors of Pashmina came in.  Lora discovered that the Rowan book "Nectar" uses the same gauge with timeless classic patterns.  She bought the wisteria and cast on in the shop.

Soon to follow was a customer who bought this lovely lace to make a nightie.  Yes, what could be more incredible than sliding into bed in a handmade pure silk nightie.  Ooh, la, la.  Check out the pattern Sassy by c2knits and make it longer.  This is the Madelinetosh Pure Silk Lace.  At 1000 yards it is truly amazing.

We could not forget the Tosh Sock.  We now carry about 16 colors of these feet pleasing, needle clicking, wonders.  Tart has been a favorite color here at The Yarn Club and it certainly jumped right out of the box in the sock yarn.  WOW!  It's also flying out of the store like the Red Barron.  This yarn is perfect for an intricate pattern.  The tonal highlights give dimension and depth.

So whether you are knititng at night or knitting a nightie, I hope you are knitting with Madelinetosh.  Treat yourself and cast on soon.

The Miraculous Miley Tee.

How much mileage can we get out of the Miley Tee from c2knits?  Here it is knit up in Revive, a new yarn from Rowan.  This Tee has been knit for all ages in 7 or 8 different yarns and looks awesome in all of them.  Which yarn are you going to try?
