At the store:

All! Of! The! Malabrigo! It's typically the time of year that we can't seem to keep the heavier weights of the Malabrigo line in stock and this year is no exception. Get all the Rasta, Rios, Mecha, and Worsted you need while they are here because they won't last long...
Have you tried needle felting? If you are seasonally affected and looking for a craft that is quick, satisfying and allows you to stab wool repeated with beautiful results, take a look at our deluxe needle felting kits for a great way to start...
