Fiber of the Week sale is Schaefer's ANNE


Hi All,

This week's fiber of the week is Anne from the Schaefer Yarn Company. Anne is a fingering weight superwash yarn that is sold as it is dyed which means each skein is considered unique. There are 34 skeins on the website and 18 more going on in the next day or two which gives a decent selection to choose from. As you can see from the pattern selection for this yarn it is more than just another super duper pretty sock yarn.


Unfortunately our website inventory system is not yet able to automatically remove items that are sold out so there may be the situation that someone else beats you to the skein you chose. I will try to remove skeins as they are sold.


Please let me know if you have any questions!

The First hats of this Quarter's Contest!!!




Hello all,
Here are the first 3 hats for this quarter's newborn hat contest! The two lighter ones are actually made from the Coveted Yarn Camel available on the website! For more details on the Newborn baby hat contest look for info at the bottom of each post.

On another note...one of our winners has chosen some of her booty from the website. I am very pleased to announce she chose a Leslie Wind Silver Filigre Stick Pin as part of her prize. This pin will be great for a shawl, sweater, hair or really any other application where a stick pin would work, except this has beauty and craftswomanship that makes it stand out. Here it is displayed in one of the hats we received.
Don't forget about our Fiber of the Week Sale!! This week is Esperanza from Schaefer at 20% off!
