My newsletter writing time was interrupted this morning due to Beverly's encounter with a skunk in the backyard last night! Pee-yew! But she did great with the de-skunking baths and now smells mostly like lavender!

Cambria Pride by the Sea was a ton of fun this year. Caitlin, Will and I all spent some time at the Ball & Skein booth and enjoyed the wonderful people and entertainers. Cambria Pride by the Sea beanie kits and/or patterns are always available!

Today is the last day of the June Juniper Moon Farm yarn sale...only a few more hours to save 15%! I received a huge re-stock of Zooey, Cotton + Merino, Cumulus, and Bud last week.

July starts tomorrow and we're celebrating JUL with 15% OFF for the month of July. And this Wednesday is my favorite Wednesday of the month because it's Sip & Stitch! Drop by the shop from 4-6 PM to join the fun.

Remember to sign up for Kris's Learn to Knit Magic Loop Socks while there's still space. The class starts a week from Saturday on July 12th.

Manos Milo Summer Trunk Show

I'm delighted to host a gorgeous trunk show featuring one my favorite yarns...Milo from Manos del Uruguay!

The Milo Summer 2025 Trunk Show is an 8-piece collection featuring Milo from Manos del Uruguay. Milo is a beautiful Merino/Linen blend DK weight yarn, so you get the knit-ability of Merino with the drape of the linen. It is rustic yet elegant and is great for any project where you want good drape. In addition, the two fibers take the dye differently so you get a natural, subtle heather.

You definitely want to touch this fiber and feel it's softness on your skin. These garments will be in the shop through July 10th!

Celebrate JUL in July

July starts tomorrow and we're celebrating JUL with 15% OFF for the entire month!

JUL creates artisanal US-made and Fair Trade shawl pins and sticks and stud buttons that take your hand-made projects beyond functional to fabulous style. I use my sticks and stud buttons to secure my shawls and cardigans!

Yarny Hair Accessories

In addition to buying anything with a Bernese Mountain Dog on it, I also love fun accessories with yarn balls on them!

Check out the Yarny Hair Claws...available with both knitting needles and a crochet hook. If you prefer a scrunchie for your pony tail, grab a Handmade Yarny Scrunchie!

Or you can stitch your own hair accessory!

I just finished the Hollo Bandana using one skein of Zooey in Lemonade. The cotton/linen blend is the perfect fiber for this project.

Check out the entire Emma Ball Collection, including bags, accessories, and stationary, and add some fun to your crafting stash. These items also making great gifts!
