New and exciting

We have some new and exciting yarns in the store.

Check out the Liberty Wool by Classic Elite Yarns - I love this yarn - it's knitting up great.  So far have made a hat nad am working on wrist warms....it's awesome for socks to.  It's 100% washable wool.



 Sensation by Naturally Yarns (70% Merino 30% Angora) - is a beautiful yarn - we have limitted quantities and are offering it to you at 25% off.  This is a 10 ply yarn and I am planning on making myself a warm cozy sweater for the fall :)



 COME CHECK OUT THIS MOHAIR - this is JJ's Montage Collection Mohair and it's gorgeous.  It's hand-painted and a worsted weight.  We are offering it to you at 25% off.  If you are thinking of making mohair mittens for someone special this Christmas - this is a must see.

Now if you're not quite ready to tackle a winter project just yet..................how about making this beautiful wrap sure to keep any summer evening chill away.  It's knit with just to skeins of Aslan Trends Litoral (we have 5 beautiful colours in stock).  This is a quick knit and you will be enjoying your project in no time at all.

HAPPY KNITTING :)

Knitting in the Park - rained out

Hello, well it's raining outside - so we have cancelled the knit in the park for this afternoon for the knit in public day.  No worries we will try again in the future. 
You can check ravelry - under the Sudbury Knitters group - there may be an alternative location being set up.  As well if you would like you can come knit at the store.

Happy knitting - aside from the rain it's a perfect knitting day :)
