Happy March from the Cornwall Yarn Shop!
The classes are finally posted on the website!! Besides our great
local teachers, we have 2 guest instructors. You may register in
person or by phone.
Our color of the month is, of course, green, glorious green –
and all green and greeny-ish yarns are 15% off from now until March
18 (that’s right, we’ll be open that Sunday!)
New Yarns!!
Riverstone from Louet is a soft and lovely true worsted weight wool
yarn that we’ve gotten in 8 colors – and at 193 yards/skein
and only 6.50, it’s great for garments or felting.
Cashmerino is our first yarn from our new line, Punta del Este,
and it is unspeakably yummy – a soft light blend of, yup,
cashmere and merino, it would be perfect for a delicate summer shawl
or stole in lace.
And speaking of lace, don’t miss our other new line, Alpaca
With a Twist! Not only do we have their gorgeous Glimmer alpaca
fingering weight yarn (and check out the patterns to go with it!),
we also have their alpaca lace-weight yarn and their chunky Highland
Twist. As always, alpaca is one of the nicest yarns on the shelf…
Calling out to our dedicated sock-knitters! We have the new Panda
Wool (bamboo and wool) from Crystal Palace in solids and coordinating
variegated colors; new On-Line self-striping sock yarn; and for
the man in your life, great solid colors in the fingering weight,
machine-washable Gems Merino.
For those of you with value and wearability on your mind, there’s
Encore worsted yarn. We’ve got new great new colorways in,
and don’t miss the mitered baby blanket made with hot pink,
lime green and white Encore! And if you’re knitting for little
ones, we have new stock and colors of Buttons DK.
We have new yarns & books from Louisa Harding and some new soft
earthtones in Elsebeth Lavold’s Silky Wool
Our spring and summer yarns are starting to come in and we always
try to showcase them at the front of the store, so check there first
when you come in.
We are in the process of doing our “spring cleaning”,
which means that the newly organized Cheap Thrills area will be
getting weekly infusions of yarn that are ends of dye lots, or something
that hasn’t been loved enough at its current location. If
you need a quick yarn fix, some yarn for charity knitting or just
want to “enhance your stash”, check out Cheap Thrills!
Keep an eye out for upcoming dates: Spring Fashion Show & Tell
(Project Runaway??); Hike-a-thon; and our 2nd Annual Cruising for
Yarn!!
As always, Happy Knitting from Gail and Cynthia
