New Year, New Yarn!

By now, Old Man Winter has many of you ready to cry, "uncle!" I'm sure. The frigid temps and sight of snow day after day has you longing for warmth, am I right?

There are lots of new, wooly, yarns to try out at Yarn Cravin'! I popped in on Saturday to take pictures of some things for you.

Sock knitters can brighten up the day with Opal Surprise. These colors will bring cheer to even the grayest of our winter days!

An old favorite, Paca Twist, is back in stock, and moving out fast.

Covington, by Cascade, is another new-to-us bulky yarn.

Similar to Encore, and also made by Plymouth, is a new line called "Coffee Beans." These colors are very suitable for "manly" projects, and also for projects for the home... afghans, pillows, etc.

I think you'll love the color details in this yarn... take a peek!

As previously promised, the yarn from Pagewood Farms is back in stock. There's even a chunky yarn with faux fur mixed in! Think fun cowl or hat, fiber friends.

As always, there are so many options for knitting/crocheting warm items! Hopefully this gives you some ideas.

If you haven't checked out the new class schedule, make sure you do. There are some new and exciting offerings, including a Book Club! The first book selection is Cowl Girls: The Neck's Big Thing to Knit which you can purchase at the shop if you need. Be sure to register to for Book Club!

Remember, winter and the snow are temporary, even though they certainly don't seem like it right now. We have spring patterns arriving in the shop already... short-sleeeved tees, tanks, even skirts! In the meantime, buckle your seatbelt, drive slowly, and take time to enjoy the beauty of winter.
