Weekend Round Up!

Plied Knowledge: The week that was…

At the store:

• We are gearing up for Local Yarn Store Day this week! This year for LYS Day (Saturday, April 27) we are lucky enough to have not only Blue Moon Fiber Arts Support Your Local Yarn Store colorway in multiple bases, but ALSO our very own limited edition color for LYS Day 2019, Twist & Shout! We have 30 each in the Socks That Rock Lightweight and Featherlight bases, and when it is gone, it's gone!
• Quince & Co! We just got in a whole pile of lovely linen - both Sparrow and Kestrel- for all of your summer projects. No project in mind? May we recommend the Deschain or the Cullum for knitting and for crochet check out the Temple Steps Top and Sieci...
• We are in the process of improving how we handle printed patterns in the store. Hopefully, it is now easier than ever to browse the pattern binders and walk away with the project of your dreams...
• New samples! This week we have 3 lovely new samples to inspire your next projects:
• Still working with bulky yarn? We not only have more Twine. Bulky. coming soon but a gorgeous crochet sample of the Arcade Triangle Scarf for you to try on...
• Did you learn brioche this winter? Do you WANT to learn brioche? Not only do we have a shop sample of the Skipp pattern from Brooklyn Tweed but also a promotion going on- you get the pattern FREE when you buy 2 skeins of Loft! The promo ends April 30 so don't wait too long to take advantage...
• And finally, The Age of Brass and Steam. We have it worked up in Black Cat Fibers Essential DK in time for you to decide if you are interested in May's Knit 12 Together project...
• And don't forget to keep an eye on our classes - we update them regularly!

Around the web:

• Still processing the fire at Notre Dame? Take a gargoyle-eye view of the cathedral and revel in the fact that the bees survived!
• Looking for other places to visit? People share the most science fiction buildings they have come across...
• Love the Great British Bake Off the way we do? Apparently they are all as nice as they seem on TV- especially when one of them gets married! 
• And here's a closer look at some of the celebrity portraits that get made for Saturday Night Live....

And totally, completely, unapologetically local:

• Local Yarn Store Day is Saturday!!!!! We have a whole line up of fabulous things going on here at Twisted - including yummy treats!- and don't forget all the other wonderful yarn stores in the area!

Have a great weekend and remember, you can always find us online!
