What's Hot this Summer

Well it certainly isn't the weather here in New England. Cool and wet has been the forecast just about ever day so far this summer, but the knitting has been far from cold....

So we are still waiting for T-Shirt weather to show off our new Knitting with Friends® shirts, now available in sizes Small through 2XL and in three designs, including the new "Knit Two Together" design as shown on the left!

We have received more of that fantastic Pure Silk 20-2 from Ivy Brambles and their new line of Ivy Brambles Shetland 2-ply (fingering weight and 380 yards per 100g skein) which is hand dyed [show left in Autumn Flame], and available in semi-solid colorways and just too yummy for words, perfect for colorwork, Shetland and Fairisle sweaters etc.

At a great price ($18.95 for 100g) you get hand dyed extra soft Shetland 2-ply in semi-solid colors, which coordinate together in that uncanny way that is Ivy Brambles, and adding that one of a kind touch to your hand knit garments.

We have been promised that patterns for this new yarn will be available later this year. We can't wait!

We have also just received the new "Cashmere Scarf for Her" kits from Jade Sapphire, these kits retail at under $100 and are now available for immediate shipment for that extra special gift!

You knit one for him, now it's your turn! Reward yourself or your HER with an exquisite 100% mongolian cashmere scarf! The kit includes a booklet with 7 pattern options for your favorite HER and 4 skeins (350 yards) of Jade Sapphire Cashmere yarn.

Kits knit at 4.25 to 5.5 sts per inch.

We are also excited about the new pattern from Andi Smith (knitbrit.com), the Pendenza Scarf and Hat Pattern. This uses two skeins of Ivy Brambles Superwash Worsted (Petunias) and features a diagonal cable that is simply stunning!

Visit Andi's website to buy the pattern and get the yarn from us with free shipping, it doesn't get any better than this!

Maine Fiber Frolics 2009

Just got back from the Maine Fiber Frolic, it was a great sheep and wool event although we managed to book two shows the same weekend so I went there and Cyndi ended up teaching a sold out sock knitting class at the Granite State Knit-In up on Loon mountain (a fabulous event hosted by New Hampshire knitting guilds).

We featured some great yarns by Cascade, Cherry Tree Hill, Dream in Color, Ivy Brambles, Kauni, Schaeffer, Sereknity and Serendipitous Ewe, and Ivy's Knitting with Friends line that went over very well with the folk up in Maine!

Hot items were Cascade Ecological Wool, Ivy Brambles Sockscene Sock Yarn, Serendipitous Ewe Self Striping Sock Yarn, Knitting with Friends Needle Gauges and Greeting Cards, Ivy Brambles Superwash Worsted and the so hard to get Kauni Yarn.

Thanks to the organisers who put on a great event and made everyone feel very welcome!

We will be back next year!

Stitches South and Other News from The Yarn and Fiber Company

Stitches South was fabulous! And will be again next year! We met sooo many of our customers and made many new friends! We were thrilled with the warm welcome we received from everyone - thank you for sharing your time with us!
A new yarn we brought special for the show was Ivy Brambles Pure Silk, which was on display with a gorgeous lace pattern designed by Joanne of Jocre Arts. The pattern is called The Lacey Scarf pattern and called out to mostly everyone walking by the booth.... just one touch and everyone agreed that the 100% Pure Silk was simply heaven. This Ivy Brambles Pure Silk yarn has become a favorite lace yarn of many at the show - the colors and the feel of the yarn make it irrestible. We hope to see many of these scarves walking around the show next year at Stitches South in April 2010!

Other new lines introduced at the show included Knitting with Friends (T shirts and notions), Sereknity Yarns, Serendipitous Ewe sock yarns, Cherry Tree Hill Semi-Solids and other Ivy Brambles Yarns all of which were well received.

We also brought the entire range of colors from Cascade's Eco-Wool and Eco-Wool Plus to the show - lots of knitters will be wearing this new coat featured in the Sally Melville Mother and Daughters Knit book which takes 3-5 skeins of the Cascade Eco - great yarn, greater yardage, and even greater price for this lovely coat!

As everyone adored the new Knitting With Friends Needle Gauges, we are offering a free gift to all customers on purchases of $99 or more. Simply add one of the Knitting with Friends Needle Gauges to your cart and enter the following code - F3PKX - at checkout in the coupon box and receive the needle gauge free with your order of $99 or more. Limit one per customer.

A quick fyi, we just received the new Addi Click interchangable needle system. Now Addi Turbos are available in an interchangeable needle set. The set includes 10 sizes of needle tips ranging from size 4 to size 15, ultra flexible blue cords in 24", 32" and 40" length, and a connector piece to join cord lengths. The connector also lets the knitter turn the cords into a stitch holder. Needle tips click securely onto the cords without the use of a tightening tool, so they are easy and fast to change and stay put until you're ready to switch to another size.

Upcoming events in the very near future - we will be at the 3rd Annual Sheep and Wool Fiber Festival at the Coggeshall Farm, A Living Musuem in Bristol, RI this weekend on Saturday, May 16 from 9 - 4 and we will also be at the Londonderry, NH Spring Fling Craft Fair this upcoming Saturday from 10 - 4:00 - Come and say Hello!

Enjoy and Happy Fibering!

The Yarn and Fiber Company Welcomes Knitting with Friends!

Check out these really cool t-shirts and greeting cards! Knitting With Friends is a new line at The Yarn and Fiber Company and everyone is loving them!

These t-shirts are fantastic! Soft and fun! Notice in the picture, that these cute and fuzzy sheep are not just knitting, but knitting "with" friends! And, who would think that not only sheep knit, but alpacas and yaks knit too!

Great colors (hot pink, light pink, gray, teal, light blue and purple), great sizes (M-2XL) and a great price!

And, need a card for your knitting friends...... Knitting with Friends has a variety of greeting cards and all are blank inside for your own personal message and is card is packaged with an envelope and wrapped in cellophane. My favorite is the "Knit New Baby" Card which reads... Dolly, Honey, I don't think it's done this way! Very funny!

The popular, "Dolly, are you sure this is what the pattern means by Knit Two Together?"

And, check this one out.....

Knitting with Friends is full of smiles! Happy fibering and we hope to see you at the Stitches South show in Atlanta GA this upcoming April 24-26th!

JAPANESE LACE KNITTING PATTERNS INTERPRETED - Understanding the Lace Knitting Patterns of Naoko & Kazuko Ichida with Sandy Terp of Moonrise Lace Knitting.
This class will help you use these sometimes challenging charts. As we work with several of the patterns by Naoko & Kazuko Ichida you will come to understand how to read and understand their charts. We will rechart into Lace Shorthand, which for these charts, uses a semi-circle chart for the beginning, than a panel chart for the remainder. This workshop will teach you how to rechart any lace pattern in any language. You will be able to truly understand how the stitches are put together to form the pattern. This workshop is appropriate for intermediate to advanced lace knitters who are looking for something challenging and new to learn.
April 4 and 5, 10:00 - 5:00 - Just a few spots left for this class that takes place this weekend.... call now!
