I did quite a bit of shopping last month at the H+H trade show and the new stuff is starting to arrive! In this newsletter, I'm spotlighting Entropy DK by Feederbrook Farm, Harry Potter Crochet kits, and Degen Stitching Tools.

I also received a re-stock of your favorite yarns from Malabrigo...Arroyo, Rios, Mecha, and Silkpaca. Rae picked out a few new stunning colors to add to our selection!

My Learn to Knit class kicks off this Wednesday June 11th and there are still a few spots available!

Join us at the shop next Saturday June 14th for World Wide Knit in Public Day. We'll be stitching out front from 1-4PM!

And remember to stock up on yarns from Juniper Moon Farm while they're discounted 15% for the month of June!

Bev romped with her pal Haley in the shop! We meet Haley at Mt. Shasta on our big drive to move to Cambria in September 2023. What joy to have a surprise visit from Haley...and what a small world we live in!

Entropy DK - Hand-dyed by Feederbrook Farm

I'm delighted to share with you the stunning Entropy DK yarn from Feederbrook Farm!

Entropy DK is hand-dyed and milled at Feederbrook Farm in Maryland. The wool is BFL (Blueface Leicester) and does not pill due to its long staple length. The yarn is named for the randomness of the colors when Singles are plied together. The colors gradate and change as you knit along. Due to the nature of processing, colors may vary between skeins!

It's a perfect choice for projects like The Shift or Metamorphic by Andrea Mowry, Pressed Flowers by Amy Christoffers, and Crossed Keys DK Cowl by Jenny Monteleone! Classes are in the works for The Shift and the Crossed Keys DK Cowl...stay tuned for details!

Harry Potter Crochet is Here!

Create your own magic with this Harry Potter crochet kit!

With the use of special magic wand crochet hook, you can conjure up these adorable figures of “the boy who lived” and his friends. The kit includes all the spells you need to make amigurumi dolls of Harry Potter and Dobby: yarn, stuffing, needle and thread, safety eye beads, and crochet hook!

The instruction book gives step-by-step directions to make ten more magical models, and the full-color photos will ensure your projects turn out completely enchanting.

Quirky Accessories from Degen

Degen is a craft-focused fashion brand created by Brooklyn based Designer Lindsay Degen.

I love her quirky and slightly nutty selection of crafting tools. Stash your supplies in a cat tin or a wooden acorn! Check your needle gauge and clip your ends using happy flower shaped tools.

Add some fun to your stitching accessories!
