Here’s a photo of the luscious Art Yarns Beaded Rhapsody that we mentioned last week:
We have a new Sirdar yarn, Eco Wool DK:
This is 100% non-dyed virgin wool with purely natural products used in the processing to keep the wool as natural as possible. There’s a great accompanying pattern book:
With 22 great designs for women, men and young girls. Go green with this one…
And there’s more on the way… There’s been a severe shortage of sun this year in Vancouver so I can’t seem to sit at the computer for long these days. While I tap away at the keyboard I see the empty deck chairs outside and they’re simply irresistible. So I’ll try to cram all our news into one quick post, then back to soak up some sun.
Our special this week is Laines du Nord Cashsilk at 30% off. This is a beautiful merino, silk and cashmere yarn. And that’s not all folks. We’ve dropped the price of our clearance section in Point Grey to 70% off. There are many great yarns at only $2.99 each, including some Rowan, Jaeger, Gedifra, Sirdar, Schachenmayr and more. And we’ve put a few Debbie Bliss yarns on sale in Point Grey at 40% off, including Cathay, Pure Cashmere and a couple of colours of Baby Cashmerino. We’re still trying to make room for all the new stuff that will arrive next month…
And we continue to make some permanent price reductions as we receive new yarns at lower prices. This week we dropped the price of Colinette Point Five to $22.95 and Giotto to $29.95. We’ve also dropped Elspeth Lavold Silky Wool to $7.95. We don’t have time to change all the labels but the new prices are in the computer so you’ll receive the lower price at checkout.
Becky’s been hard at work unpacking boxes this week. We replenished our supply of Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino, Sirdar Baby Bamboo and Louet Euroflax and Gems. The most stunning arrival this week is the gorgeous Art Yarns Beaded Rhapsody. It’s a beautifully soft yarn with tiny sparkly beads running through it. One luscious skein will make a lovely scarf. A perfect little project to knit in the sun. That’s where I”m heading right now….
You’re going to love the new Namaste bags. The designs are better than ever.
And you couldn’t find a nicer bunch of people than the gang at the helm of this business. They’re friendly as can be with a laid back California vibe. The business started when Clint designed a set of glass needles as a Christmas present for his fiance, Kelly. Everyone who saw them wanted a set and the rest is history. They’ve kept it all in the family with Clint’s sister, Dawn and mom, Toni now helping out. Even their dogs come to work with them…
All of the Namaste bags have a spacious interior and plenty of interior pockets for notions and whatever else you need to tuck inside. The Newport is the latest addition to the popular Cali Collection:
It’s sleek design and solid structure make it an ideal multi-purpose handbag.
Love the hip simplicity of the Malibu:
The Laguna is another great looking bag. This one has exterior pockets and a detachable shoulder strap for extra storage and convenience:
The Cali Clutch is an elegant way to hold your needles, together with a few other essentials:
We also have the Messenger Bag, Needle Binder, Knit Tube and Vintage Bag.
And the best part? These bags are all great value, ranging in price from $59.95 to $69.95.
Last but not least is the Cali Cozy that will hold a set of needles:
It’s a perfect gift for you or a friend at only $11.95. Or upgrade the gift with a beautiful set of Lantern Moon rosewood or ebony needles.
Sadly we didn’t receive a full order so we have only a limited selection of the new bags. If this is your ‘have to have’ Summer item, don’t delay. They won’t last long. The good news is that we’ll have more in the Fall…
Our special this week is Grignasco Infinity at 40% off the regular price. This one’s 35% bamboo and 65% merino, with lots of great colour options. It’s a great deal at only $4.77.
And we’ve reduced the price of a few of our specials including Rowan Chunky Cotton Chenille at 60% off, Chunky Print and Ribbon Twist at 50% off and selected colours of Big Wool at 40% off. Check out our entire specials list right here.
