We just got a shipment of Malabrigo Finito in. It’s a wonderfully soft fingering-weight yarn.
Finito is spun from superfine Uruguayan merino wool that is only available in a small amount once a year. The yarn is available in limited quantities. Once it’s gone, we can’t get any more until next year. Make sure to stock up before we run out!
We got a big box of Kauni in yesterday, including several new colors.
This yarn is great for making a Citron shawl, a Wiggle Wrap, and lots more. In order to maintain consistency in the color runs and to avoid knots, the yardage in each ball varies. The weight and price are marked on each ball, so make sure you get the right size ball for your project.
We just got two big boxes of Malabrigo in this week. It seems like we have been waiting for it forever, and it’s finally here. We have new colors of Rios, Rasta, and Worsted. We also restocked some of the colors we’ve gotten before. It’s so pretty.
Remember when you’re buying Malabrigo to get as much as you think you might need. The yarn is kettle dyed, and the dye lots don’t usually match.
We are still waiting for a big box of sock yarn. It will be held for sock club members for a week, so if you love Malabrigo Sock you might want to sign up for sock club before the yarn gets here.
Cooling weather means adding layers to our wardrobes. Decorative scarves will jazz up your outfit and keep you warmer at the same time. We have three new scarf yarns in the shop.
Fuzzy Purls just came in yesterday. Little puffs of faux fur add style to a skinny garter stitch scarf.
You can finish a project in three minutes with Dolce Vita. The yarn is finger crocheted into a fun, loopy scarf.
If you like ruffles, you’ll love Tutu. This is another easy-to-knit scarf that makes a great gift.
Stop in to get your favorite color before someone else finds it first!
Sweaters can be intimidating if you’ve never tried them, but with the right pattern, a sweater can be an easy, fun knit. If you’re looking for a pattern to get started with, take a look at Margot.
It’s made from the top down, so it’s easy to customize to fit you just right. It’s also seamless, which makes finishing quick and easy. Nicole made hers out of four and a half skeins of Cascade 220, for a yarn cost of $34.50.
We’ll be having Margot knit-alongs during Friday Night Knitting club in March. If you’ve never tried a sweater before, consider signing up for Annie’s Beginning Sweater classes. You can sign up for all three sessions, or you can choose the sessions you’d like to attend.
We’re all going to need something to distract us in March and April. It’s a great time to create something that will last long after the water is gone.
It’s that time of year again. In some cities, spring means cherry blossoms or Mardi Gras. In Fargo-Moorhead, spring means sandbags. Make sure the sandbagger in your life keeps their ears warm with one of these great hats.
This ribbed hat will fit just about everyone. It’s made with two balls of Nashua Julia and a 16″ size US6 circular needle. The pattern is free with yarn purchase. It’s easy to customize to make it longer or shorter.
Another stylish option is the Slope hat.
This is a new pattern from Spud and Chloe. The hat is made with one skein of Spud and Chloe Outer and a 16″ size US15 needle. This is a great pattern for getting started with cables, and it only takes a couple of hours to knit.
If we have to be out fighting the Red yet again, at least we’ll look good doing it.
Congratulations to Stephanie, our first Learn-to-Knit-Blitzer to come in with a finished scarf.
If you’re looking for something to get the knitter in your life, we just got some new Kim Hargreaves pattern books.
We also have these great Knit Happy thermal mugs.
We will be closed on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, but we’ll be back on Monday. As always, you are welcome to stop in anytime we’re open and knit or crochet with us. Have a great holiday.
The Kool-aid yarn is in and ready to knit.
Last week, Nicole took some wool to her son’s elementary class and taught them how to dye yarn with Kool-aid. The yarn is available at the shop for customers to knit into hats and mittens, which will be donated to kids in need at the YWCA in Fargo.
When you come in to pick up a skein, please add your name and phone number or email to the sign up sheet. The skeins are between 90 and 120 yards of Cascade 220, so each skein should make a hat or a pair of mittens.
Please return your finished items within three weeks of picking it up, because cold weather is on the way. Thanks for helping us warm up as many kids as we can this winter.
One last look at the shop before we pack it all up and move it over here.
The shop will be closed on Monday so we can move everything over, but we’ll be open at the new place at 10am on Tuesday. You can find us at 2607 South University–just four doors north of where we are now.
If you’re a regular visitor, you’ve probably noticed that we’ve outgrown the space we started in. We are very excited to announce that we are moving to 2607 University Drive South. That is just three doors down from where we are now. We’ll still be in the University Square mall, so you shouldn’t have any trouble finding us.
We are working on getting the new space ready to move into. We’ll be putting up some pictures to keep you updated with our progress. Right now, Dan is just getting started with painting.
We’ll have a lot more room in the new place. We are aiming to be open there by October 19. In the meantime, we’ll still be open in our present location. Keep checking back for more updates.
