We are each enjoying a couple of weeks of vacation time over July and early August and are gearing up for a busy fall. With shows to attend, planning and organizing are high on our to-do list. And of course in the midst of it all, the new fall yarns are rolling in! SO MUCH YARN! New lines, new colourways, new fibre. It makes a girl woozy! But alas it is aaaaaalllll gooooood!
Of course, we are also heading into Year End inventory counting time, and were looking around the shop with a little trepidation thinking " that's alot of yarn" ...so once again we thought we would run our

Wow, the response to our Can-Con sale was heartwarming and patriotic! What fun! It is nice to know that shopping locally is of interest to so many of you! Supporting the big and small producers certainly makes for a well rounded market. Some of the smaller producers have written to us saying they are so thrilled by the responses to something as simple as encouraging people to buy locally!
