At the warehouse:

• We are back and ready to rock and roll! And boy howdy was it a busy week at the warehouse catching up on orders and freight but on the up side, so much great new stuff!
• Speaking of great stuff, we got in a restock of Brooklyn Tweed's TONES! Strike while the iron is hot on this one because it never lasts long...
• Also back for us is Ultra Wool from Berroco! And we didn't just bring back the Worsted, but Fine, DK, and Chunky, too...
• Have you been working on your Tofino Cowl for January's knitalong?Our latest shipment of Malabrigo brought a restock of Rasta along with Worsted and many other bases...

And totally, completely, unapologetically local:
