Happy 2026!

 

As so many small businesses have struggled or shut down in 2025, I am happy to share that Ball & Skein & More is sticking around! 2025 has actually been a great year thanks to all of your support for my small business local yarn store!


I am so excited for 2026...I've selected so many new fabulous yarns. I've picked out so many new fabulous projects to knit and share with you. And I have the best yarn store staff to help you with you all of your fiber needs!


And maybe 2026 will be the year that Beverly chills out enough to hang out in the front of the shop! Here's hoping!


We're OPEN New Year's Eve from 11AM - 2PM but closed on New Year's Day!

Holiday Sparkle with Cosmo and Diva!

I'm not normally a "sparkle gal" but two new yarns this year have made me a convert.


Cosmo from Lana Grossa arrived in the shop in October. It's a fingering weight yarn featuring sequins threaded on cotton in a beautiful palette.


Diva from Jody Long is available for Pre-Order prior to its scheduled February release. The palette complements Cosmo perfectly! I received one ball in advance and knit a beautiful Sparkle Top!

I'm ready for NYE festivities (aka knitting on the couch) in my new Sparkle Top knit using Cosmo and Diva!

Introducing Elder from Queensland!

Introducing Elder from Queensland! This yarn could become your new favorite DK Weight Wool!


One of this wool’s most prized features is its high elasticity, which makes it perfect for hand-knitted garments. This means sweaters, hats, and scarves made from Elder Anatolian Merino yarn retain their shape beautifully over time and offer a natural stretch and recovery that enhances fit and comfort.


But Elder Anatolian Merino is more than just functional—it’s a yarn with a story. Each skein is a blend of cultural heritage, genetic ingenuity, and natural adaptation, rooted in the soil of ancient highlands. It represents nearly a century of deliberate breeding and thousands of years of pastoral tradition. For knitters and fiber artists seeking something beyond the ordinary, Elder Anatolian Merino offers a rare and meaningful experience—combining the luxury of fine wool with the soul of Anatolia.

I knit the Rows and Arrows Hat in Elder!

New Harmonious Socks Colors!

Harmonious Socks has been a favorite since its release last September.


This sock yarn blends together bold shades harmoniously, giving your socks a spirited and unmistakable style. Soft yet strong, it’s made with mulesing-free and chlorine-free wool.


Download the Harmonious Socks pattern to get going on your own. Or, if you're a complete beginner and want in-person instruction on sock knitting using magic loop, sign up for Caitlin's class in February!
