A work trip to Artyarns! 
 
Last Wednesday we were cordially invited to visit one of the most luxurious yarn locales, Artyarns! 

     Annie, Elizabeth and I (Sarah) made the journey to White Plains, NY to visit Iris and her crew for a behind the scenes look at how Artyarns is made. Seeing all that beautiful yarn in one place was so exciting! It was like being inside a glittering, yarny snow globe! Being able to see the colors in person and feel each yarn made such a positive difference in our decision making process.    


 

 

And the samples!!! There were at least 6 racks of the most stunning knit and crochet samples all made with Artyarns!

Everywhere we looked there were wonderful things to admire!
 


As a result of our little trip we've decided to branch out with Artyarns and bring in more of their product! We even have something special in the works, just for our Annie and Company customers!! We can't wait to share these delicious yarns with you as soon as they come in! In the mean time, we have a wide array of Beaded Mohair with Sequins and Silk Rhapsody Light for your next project.

See you soon!

Lang's New Spring Yarn 
 
 

Hey there yarn lovers, Sarah here. I just wanted to share some of the new patterns and yarns that Lang has introduced for Spring! As soon as I saw them I was so ready to start my spring/summer knitting and I know you'll all feel the same way! Let's shake off the icicles and look toward warmer days!  

  

First up, the patterns. With not 1, not even 2, but 3 new pattern books for Spring, the inspiration is endless! Everything is light and airy and delicate, perfect for keeping you stylish and fresh.

 

 

Now on to the the real goods, the yarn!  


Asia  

is made of 70% silk and 30% yak. Use a US4-5 for a solid comfy fabric or use a larger needle to get a great lacy effect. The softness of this yarn will have you wanting to make all sorts of pieces!   

 


  Clown  

is made of 38% cotton, 30% polyester, 26% viscose, and 6% nylon. Don't let this combination of yarns scare you away, it knits like a dream. Grab your US7-8 and let the fun commence! I did and I can't wait to wear this cardigan in a few weeks!

 

 

 


Sol Degrade
is made of 100% cotton but this isn't your grandma's cotton yarn! This yarn is dyed in the best gradient shades making your pieces fun and modern. A US8-9 will give you all the gradient glory you could possibly want. 

 


Florida  

is made of 50% cotton and 50% acrylic and the name alone will start making you feel warm and sunny! On a US9-10 you'll be able to whip up the cutest beach cover or light cardigan with time to spare. It's a no-brainer!

 Vogue starts THIS Friday! As usual, we here and Annie and Co. are thrilled to give our customers a little sneak peak of the exclusive items we will have in our booth! We know you're going to love them as much as we do.

From the Mountain-Afghan Cashmere
We are excited to be selling From the Mountain this year because it's cashmere with a cause. This cashmere is handspun by women in Afghanistan, which provides them in an income, and the company practices sustainable manufacturing. You can feel good about this free-trade cashmere as it keeps you cozy and warm!

Feederbrook Farm
We met Lisa from Feederbrook Farm at last years Vogue and have been loving her yarns so when she asked us to bring her yarns to Vogue this year we jumped at the chance!

The Tokyo Shawl from Isager
This shawl kit comes with everything you need for this amazing piece. We will have all 3 colors available and trust us, you're going to love them! The design is great and the colors are even better.

Javori Designs
We were so pleased with the interest in these knitted jewelry kits last year that we simply had to bring them again this year! Each piece is unique and makes a real statement. Plus it's always fun to step away from traditional knitting and try something new!

A Kid'll Eat Ivy Designs
These handmade buttons are one of a kind! Made out of polymer clay, they are perfect to add a little fun to any of your knitted or even sewing projects!

Be sure to stop by booth 407/409 and see us! We'll be there all weekend, ready to talk yarn and projects and Vogue!
