Mini Sweaters

A couple of seats left - Just in Time for the Holidays!
Use up those scrap yarns!
Join us on Saturday, November 4 and learn how to make adorable Miniature Sweater Ornaments!

This three-hour workshop will be fun and hands on. While creating a miniature sweater, you will learn the basic principles one uses to knit a full-size top-down raglan sweater. And it's a great way to use up those bits and bobs of leftover yarn!

Taught by our own Kathy Yurman, ably assisted by Kris Gregson.


Cashmere!
Cardiff Cashmere Classic

There's not much more delightful to work with than cashmere. We're happy to bring you Cardiff Cashmere. Spun by a small family owned mill in Italy that only spins cashmere, they get the finest cashmere fiber from around the world.

Cashmere, as you know, comes from goats. It can be any breed of goat and cashmeres do come in a variety of qualities. We've never felt a cashmere as delicious as the yarns we've gotten from Cardiff.

We carry three different yarns from Cardiff: a bulky Boucle; Brushmere - also a bulky, but a very different feel, as it's brushed cashmere; and Classic - a smooth DK weight yarn in a variety of colors.

All of these yarns are 100% cashmere and are so soft and delightful to work with. They're also a great value, for the impressive quality of the yarn.

Click here and treat yourself today to one of these wonderful yarns today.


Jaggerspun Organic

Jaggerspun
Kris and Oz visited this 100+ year old mill in Maine in September. Jaggerspun is a 4th generation business that spins yarns for commercial needs as well as for hand-knitting. We love Green Line, a sport weight wool yarn that comes in 50 gram hanks. Organically dyed in Maine, it's very affordable and great for a wide variety of projects, especially color work!

You owe it to yourself to try this US made, organic yarn, from an old New England mill.


 



Potholder Looms!

Harrisville Loom
Made in the US, these durable metal looms are available in the traditional 8" loom, but have you tried the newer 10" 'Pro' loom? The Pro loom makes a bigger square, perfect for using as a trivet or seam them together and make place mats, bath mats, whatever strikes your fancy!

We stock the cotton loops for these fun, easy to use looms. Perfect for children of all ages!

Dahlings!

It's been so wonderful seeing so many of my friends this October. I do miss Cambria while I'm away, but I so appreciate hearing from you throughout the year.

I also appreciate the kind words and the support the little shop gets. Next year the Ball & Skein & More turns 40! It's thanks to all of you that the store has been able to stay in Cambria and serve so many fiber fans from all over. We appreciate it and hope that you'll continue to support them in the years to come.

Until next time...

Happy Stitching!

Kombu Ultra Wool

Free Poncho/Ruana Pattern!

We really love Berroco Ultra Wool. A machine washable, soft, 100% wool yarn that doesn't suffer from the "itch factor".  Great yardage, a very good color range, and a great price! Spun in Peru, it's a yarn that's sure to become your go-to yarn for years to come.

Ultra Wool is perfect for hats, mitts, blankets, and really anything you can imagine. We're impressed by this beautiful pattern that uses between 5 - 9 balls of this beautiful yarn. It's not a fitted piece, so it is great if your gauge is a tad off. The Dolman sleeves are a nice touch for this piece, we thought.

If you don't see enough of the color you want on the web site, never fear - we order from them all the time! Just place your order and we'll confirm your order and we'll ship the yarn when the order is complete. We'll also be sure and send you yarn from the same dye lot so you'll be confident that your project will come out the way you imagined it. 

Remember, it's FREE SHIPPING from our web site if you spend $75!
