Knit On! News!

Classes

We have several new classes starting up in December.  It’s not too late to learn something new to create a one of a kind holiday gift!  For the person who has everything, we recommend Thrummed Mittens.  We have never seen them ready-made anywhere.  Another great gift is Felted Clogs.  Both projects work up quickly and are fun to knit!

Don’t see a class you want to take?  Call the shop at 859-291-5648 and let us know what class you would like to see on the Winter schedule beginning in January. Private classes are also available at reasonable rates.

New Yarns

New yarns have literally been arriving daily at the shop.

Dream in Color’s Knitosophy (so cool) and Starry can be found on the Great Wall of Yarn.  They join another great Dream in Color favorite, Smooshy.

Opal has new designs: Schafpate,  Kaethe Kruse and  Rainforest (Regenwald) V. 

From Oasis Yarns, we have added a new line called Aussi Soxxi.  These hanks are individually hand dyed.  We also have their lovely Lana Ribbon.

Pagewood Farms produces some of the most beautiful hand dyed yarns we have seen.  We have new colors in Alyeska, Glacier Bay, Denali, Yukon, Chugiak and St. Elias. We also have Willow Creek, a gorgeous lace yarn.

Abuelita Yarns is a new family owned yarn company from Uruguay.  We are carrying their Merino Worsted, Thick & Thin and Mysterious Blend Bulky.

We have had so many requests for crochet cotton that we have brought in Garden from Nazli Gelin.

From Universal Yarns, we have added every color of Cotton Supreme, a soft cotton in 100g hanks, Classic Worsted Holiday (with a strand of shine), Classic Worsted Tweed, Deluxe Chunky Tones and several others.

Feza now has several variations on their ever-popular Alp family of yarns.  These hanks are made up of many different yarns hand-tied by women in Turkey who are able to support their children by creating these works of yarn art. We also have their Bing, Cyprus Mohair, Festival, Jewel, Kid Melange, Kid Mohair, Mesmerize, Night, Nirvana and Platino.

This list is by no means exhaustive. Stop in to see all of the wonderful new yarns we have been getting in for you!
