Cricket looms from Schacht have arrived at the Fiber Gallery. We couldn’t wait to get one warped and start weaving. Weaving on a Cricket is simple to do and fast to set up. There are some great instructional articles on the Schacht site and even a Cricket group on Ravelry. Try it out the next time you stop by the shop.

Sale of the Week

We have created a new weekly sale to highlight interesting yarns and tools around the shop. We are starting with the latest from Debbie Bliss, Fez. An aran-weight yarn (4.5 sts/in), Fez is 85% Extrafine Merino and 15% Camel. The camel fluffs up wonderfully as the yarn is knit creating a downy halo across the surface. It comes in 16 rich colors and we carry them all. Here at the shop Cathy is knitting the Ribbed Jacket. Please ask to touch it when you come in the shop. You will be amazed at how cushy and soft this yarn is. Fez will be 15% off from now until October...
