Buried!

This is normally our slower season, but boy have we been busy here at the shop! We've had SO many of our internet customers stop in to see us over the past month. Vermont is a beautiful place to travel, and customers from all over the US are visiting our area and stopping in to see the shop in person. It's been great to meet all of you!

Last weekend was the Vermont Quilt Show, just down the road at the Champlain Valley Expo Center. They had over 7,000 people in attendance, and a LOT of them visited the shop last week. They were so excited about the new venue for the quilt show, and we are thrilled that it will be back for the next couple of years.

We have been keeping busy with the great sale on Cool Wool Big and Cool Wool 2000. They are over 40% off! These are two yarns that we LOVE. We are sad to let them go, because they are really wonderful to knit with, and they are so soft, and superwash merino. But Lana Grossa does not have the name recognition that our customers seem to demand, so they are going bye bye. If you haven't tried this yarn, don't delay. They will be gone soon!

And we have several amazing new yarns - one of my favorites is Royal by Blue Sky Alpacas. It is so soft - and luxurious. I am making a pair of wristlets - they are about 12" long with a gorgeous ruffle at the top. I only started last night, but the yarn is a dream to work with. We also got in our new yarns from Colinette: Tao and Parisienne. They are so much fun. I especially like the Parisienne. The patterns for this yarn are nicely shaped and figure flattering. I'm not a big laceweight fan, but this yarn just might win me over!
