- We just finished processing a massive Berroco order! If you have been missing blanket quantities of some of their bases, take another look...
- New sample alert!!! If you like to see what the yarn in the store knits up like, here are some new things to ogle...
- Deschain in Quince & Co. Kestrel- This is a CLASSIC knit that is perennially popular. Bonus, we just got in a new order of Kestrel...
- Headwarmers Hat in Fully Spun Aran- Not just a floor sample, but also an upcoming class sample!
