Thank you to everyone who came out last weekend to celebrate Yarn Lovers Appreciation Weekend. I loved meeting so many new makers who traveled from all over the coast to visit the shop.

Next Saturday, March 22nd, the shop is hosting Alpenglow Industries for a yarn tools pop-up event. Keep reading to learn more.

I finished my own addition to the Merino Linen Trunk show with the Alpine Bloom tee using Natural and Celine Dion colorways.

And Manos March Madness continues with all yarns from Manos discounted 15% for the month of March!

Bev is exhausted from all the Yarn Lovers Weekend excitement!

Modern Linen

Modern Linen by Berroco is an instant classic with its gentle twist and crisp stitch definition. It is the perfect yarn for your next warmer-weather projects... tops, tees, cardigans, scarves & beach cover-ups resort-worthy polish. We also love this yarn for market bags, beach totes & crocheted purses!

Soft & wearable, the linen will continue to soften with every wash. Textured stitches, lace & simple stockinette come to life in the palette of modern colorways.

New Project Totes from Maika

Maika has really upped their game with their new Project Tote! This is the newest must-have bag for creative souls on-the-go. These canvas project totes are thoughtfully designed with plenty of pockets on the inside and outside, a drawstring top enclosure, a handy grommet for threading yarn or hooking a charging cable, and sturdy straps for easy toting!

I've also re-stocked your favorite Maika Lunch Totes.

Every Maika bag is designed with love in Oakland, CA!

10,000 Hats!

Who doesn't need 10,000 hat patterns?!?

Choose from knitted hats or crocheted hats (or both) in these fun and clever flip-page instruction books for designing and building your own unique headwear creations.

Each interactive book contains photographs of different hat brims, bodies and crowns that can be combined in a total of 10,626 ways to create unique hat patterns. Once you’ve chosen your design, turn over the pages for the correct written pattern for that combination of parts. The hat brims, bodies and crowns use many stitches, some familiar and others new. Aimed at all ability levels, there is something for everyone. You’ll never need another hat book!
