Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

I am so extremely grateful to my Local Yarn Store community for showing up last Saturday (April 25th) to celebrate my special holiday...even in the cold, rainy weather! Christine, Julia, Will, and I were overjoyed to spend our day with you!

All of the new Uniquely Ball & Skein products that arrived just in time for LYS Day were a huge hit! Congratulations to all of the hourly raffle winners and to Brenda, who has been shopping at Ball & Skein for many, many years, for winning the grand prize raffle!

Next Tuesday, I'm off to Chicago for the annual H+H Americas Fiber Trade Show. This is the trip where I get to go shopping for yarn! Will, Christine, Denise, Julia, and Olivia will take care of you in the shop and online while I'm out of town.

Fixing Mistakes in Knitting meets this Saturday May 2nd @ 9:30AM - Noon...and there are still 3 spots available.

Thank you for supporting Ball & Skein during LYS Day 2026 and every day!

Cozy Cashmere Sale!

The Cozy Cashmere Sale is back! Enjoy 20% OFF all 100% Cashmere Yarns and Kits from Trendsetter for the month of May!

Stock up now to stitch that cashmere project that you've been dreaming of! I knit myself a Turtledove Pullover using Gemini and it is truly the softest sweater I own. It's also great for self-care because I can't stop hugging myself when I'm wearing it!

Just In...Noro Magazine #28 and Mebuki!

Noro Magazine Issue #28 has just arrived! This issue features 30+ Warm Weather Styles to Knit and Crochet. This includes 5 gorgeous projects using Mebuki, the newest yarn from Noro.

Mebuki, the Japanese expression for “the quiet budding of new life,” captures the gentle renewal of spring. A thoughtful blend of silk, wool, and viscose brings together soft luster, light warmth, and an airy, organic texture. It's perfect for transitional and warm-weather wear. Mebuki is ideal for lightweight garments and layering pieces that carry you beautifully through the season.

Request a FREE copy of the Down the Garden Path Scarf with the purchase of Mebuki!
