What's New in the Neighborhood.....

October 2007

 
Hi  friends, the beautiful Handpainted Yarns have arrived.   Robin and I met Bjorn & Rex at market this summer, we were immediately taken with their passion and creativity.  At the age of 5 Bjorn learned to crochet from his grandmother in Germany, he later learned handweaving, and knitting.   For over 40 years Bjorn has been creating exquisite handwoven textiles and knitted pieces using his handpainted yarns.  Now his passion  for color and texture has brought him to creating yarns for ALL to enjoy!.  All color combinations and handying is done by Bjorn himself.  We hope you enjoy these beautiful yarns, each bag is kitted by ounce and colorway, and some have a complimentary pattern.   Use your own imagination and incorporate these beautiful yarns into your own stash, or combine them with other yarns to create a truely unique piece.  Of course if you can't come up with your own idea, Robin and I always have a few ideas up our sleeves!  As a special bonus, Bjorn included his wonderful SOCK YARN in the show.  It is 65% superwash wool, 25% Nylon, and 10% Donegal, it knits at 7-8 st. to inch on 1-3 needles, it's 436 yards of incredible color.
     We are only 1 of 3 shops in Michigan who carry these yarns, and we have them here for a limited time, it's worth checking out.  Even if you are like the rest of us and you have several projects on your needles, it's a good idea to stash away your favorite colorway, those current project will get done before you know it, and these beautiful yarns will be waiting for you!
     We have special trunk show pricing, so don't miss this opportunity to have these beautiful fibers.

The Susan Todd Bags are Here!!!                      
We have several in the shop.  If you
love texture and patterns as much as we do then
you will appreciate the patterns and colors of
these bags by Susan Todd. Susan uses a variety
of re-cycled sweaters in an assortment of colors and
patterns to create her bags.  They are fully lined
and can be used as knitting bags or just an
everyday carry along.  She even has a messenger bag
made out of re-cycled polo shirts! 
Shop early to have the biggest selection to choose from.
