Come And Taste The Yarn

Yes, taste. This Friday, April 15th, from 6:00PM to 8:00PM, Yarn Cravin' is hosting a Classic Elite Yarn Tasting. NOTE: Call to reserve a spot, and the cost is $10. Healthy snacks will be served. Never been to one? A yarn tasting is a great opportunity to sample new yarns before you buy them! Bring several different needle sizes with you, and you will get sample skeins of yarns to knit with, and keep. You can decide if you like the way the yarn feels knitted up before you even make a purchase! Licking the yarn is optional. ;-) Buttons, buttons, everywhere! Many of you already know that Yarn Cravin' has a fantastic selection of buttons, but guess what? More just arrived! Big buttons, little buttons, funky buttons, conservative buttons. Bobbie does a fantastic job ordering for the shop, and for all of you! Stop and see what's new. The Classic Elite Knit Along (KAL) is in full swing, and someone from Yarn Cravin' is going to win a basket full of goodies from Classic Elite later this spring. At least 2 skeins of Classic Elite yarn must be used, and pattern from one of Classic Elite's Spring 2011 booklets has to be knit. There are so many to choose from! Good luck to all those who are participating. If you're a fiber fair enthusiast, you are probably familiar with stitch markers and jewelry from Waters' Edge. We're lucky enough to now carry these stitch markers in our shop! The pewter and crystal charms hang from a kilt pin that can be worn to close a shawl or adorn a jacket, as well as keep track of the repeats in your knitting. The book for this month's Book Club is Knitting Green by Ann Budd. Remember that Book Club meets the last Thursday of the month. Books are already waiting for you at Yarn Cravin'! Eco-friendly yarns are in stock, as well. Just a reminder that with the economy the way it is, it's more important than ever to give support to the small, independent businesses that you enjoy. Yes, Yarn Cravin' certainly, but other small shops as well. If you enjoy their goods and services, make a point of patronizing them on a regular basis so that those businesses stay open. Happy Spring, Fiber Friends!
