Recently, and sadly, a favorite yarn of ours has been discontinued... sigh! Cherry Tree Hill has decided to discontinue the Oceania Yarn! We have just received a batch of it and are happy to offer it to our customers as we know it is a favorite of many of you as well. Why is it a favorite? One gorgeously hand-dyed skein makes a sweater - each skein is 1440 yards and there as the skein is hand-dyed as a giant skein, there is no carrying two yarns with this hand-dyed yarn to complete your project. So get it while we have it... it is the last of the last....


Cherry Tree Hill Oceania Yarn - New Leaf


We also have copies of Cheryl Potters Special Little Knits from Just One Skein book that has the gorgeous Never-Ending Shawl which uses only one skein of the Oceania! These out of print books are flying off the shelf and they are a great addition to your collection!
