This past week we received the new fall colors from Manos del Uruguay and re-stocked your favorites from Malabrigo and Juniper Moon Farm.

I completed my Sweater No. 32 (that's the pattern name...this is not my 32nd sweater) using Round Mountain Willow Worsted and Rios...I love it and want to wear it everyday! It's the sweater I've picked for the Knitting My Second Sweater class in September that I just added.

I was so excited to be selected for the inaugural Cambria Chamber of Commerce Business Spotlight!

The July sale is on JUL accessories with 15% OFF for the entire month!

New Manos del Uruguay Colors

We are so excited to welcome the Fall 2025 new colors from Manos del Uruguay! The Lila Color Collection is woodsy and floral, with a dose of romanticism and nostalgia. These new colors are available in Alegria, Alegria Grande, Franca and Maxima!

The Ideal palette has also expanded to include 3 new colors! I'm excited to start some new projects using these stunning yarns!

Knitbaahpurl...A Clever Name for Clever Products

I met Eric from Knitbaahpurl at H+H and immediately fell in love with their whimsical hand-drawn sheep illustrations. Their sheep offer playful, gentle, and silly reflections on human experience but more importantly they make me smile.

The stemless wine glasses are the perfect accessory for the shop's Sip & Stitch or for your local knitting meet-up! And the gift tags are a must have attachment to your next stitchy gift!

Christmas in July !?!

I'm normally not thinking about Christmas in July, but I wanted to make sure you got 1st dibs on the newest book from Arne and Carlos...65 Christmas Balls to Knit!

Best-selling and globally beloved knitters Arne & Carlos have created 65 charming new knitted designs so that you can bring a touch of a Scandinavian winter into your own home this festive season. Each of the seasonal balls is adorned with stylish, colorful motifs to make your tree sparkle with festive cheer. 

If you're new to colorwork, we'll have a workshop just for you in October to get started. If you're experienced with colorwork, we have a KAL (Knit-A-Long) planned just for you. Stay tuned for more details!
