For the Love of Noro! Silk Garden Sock Yarn

Just when I thought it was safe to meet with our Noro rep (I mean really now, if you have been in the Yarn and Fiber Company shop or on our website, you know that we have a lot of Noro, did I mention a lot of Noro, yeah, a lot of Noro), and he shows us.....


Noro Silk Garden Sock Yarn - New this season (of course) and available in the top eight colorways of Noro Silk Garden.... sigh! Yes, we bought them all and lots of each. We are hoping to see them sometime in late July through early September (I like to give Noro lots of time to arrive as it always arrives fashionably late :)

Here are the pictures of the colorways for your enjoyment! We are accepting pre-orders for this wonderful yarn and I can't wait to knit some for my toes! They have been busy lately and deserve a little Silk Garden in their world! If you are wondering, since I held a skein of this wonderful yarn, yes, it feels just like Silk Garden and looks like Silk Garden - I have two garments made from Silk Garden and wear them constantly... I may never change my socks! Then again, with eight colorways there are enough colorways for each day of the week plus one! Have a great day and onto the colorways.....

Kauni Effektgarn EQ Yarn has Arrived!

If anyone is looking for Kauni EQ Effektgarn wool, now is a good time to order some.... a large order arrived today and we are updating inventory throughout the afternoon. In addition to the 140 - 170 gram balls, we have received a number of skeins in the 200 gram range which will be online by the weekend. Yeah! I just love this yarn!

Designer Louisa Harding is Way Cool!

This past Thursday, Louisa Harding visited our shop and when she left, we were starstruck and smiling! She is way cool! Louisa Harding is a designer who enjoys her own line of yarns through Knitting Fever Inc's Euro Division. She has published approximately seventeen books to date and she is involved in the entire process from creating her original designs to the actual photographing of the models with her husband. Her books are spectacular in themselves as they are bright and inspiring and her yarns are very feminine with either glitz or softness or both adding to girlie aspect of her designs. Everyone felt very beautiful when trying on the garments that she brought with her that are from her newest books Summer Classics and Dauphine (both which we quickly sold out of but more are on the way!)

We had planned her visit with us as an informal gathering so that Louisa would have the time to spend with our customers (and us :) which she joyfully did!

Towards the end of her visit, I asked Louisa to please help me choose some colors for the Periwinkle Shawl which is pictured on the the cover of Louisa Harding Book 4 - Beachcomer Bay Accessories Collection. I have always loved this shawl and it is has been on the list of "things to make" for awhile. Well, not only did Louisa enthusiastically pick out a colorway for me, but she continued to assemble eight colorways in total and they are all spectacular! There is nothing better than working on a garment that screams "This yarn was hand-picked by Louisa." It is so wonderful! And the kit colors are all gorgeous! As a special treat for those of you couldn't make the trip to see and meet Louisa, we have put the kits on our website. We look forward to her visiting again, and again, and again!

Here are the colorways chosen by Louisa Harding for the Periwinkle Shawl. None of these colors are used in the the original design on the cover and all of the yarns vary from those used in the original design. These designs are based on Designers Choice of the yarns around her. Louisa's color choices below are just simply gorgeous!

Thank you Louisa! We loved your visit!

And a special thank you to Haydee of Knitting Fever Inc. for bringing Louisa to our shop! It is such pleasure to meet someone who you usually only "meet" on the phone or through emails. Thanks again Haydee and Knitting Fever for bringing Louisa to us!

April 17th 11:00 - 2:00 Louisa Harding to visit The Yarn and Fiber Company

What a treat! On April 17th, from 11:00 to 2:00 Louisa Harding will be stopping by The Yarn and Fiber Company for a meet and greet. How wonderful! Bring your books for signing and any questions you may have for this wonderful designer. We have stocked up on her yarns and books and we will be serving a light lunch and refreshments! We are very, very excited! See you here!

And while you are shopping, please take a moment to browse the new Clearance category we created. As you may know about us, we are constantly bringing in more yarns and the shop is about to burst so we need to make more space. But then again, how much fun would a yarn explosion be!
