Perfect for warmer weather, this is the light piece you want to bring with you to add a touch of color as well as to keep that slight chill off.

Serena from
Manos del Uruguay. This yarn is a beautiful baby Alpaca/Pima Cotton blend, making it delightfully soft to the touch and perfect for next to the skin wear.

Dahlin's!
One day the little shop will re-open, at some level. We don't know when or what that's going to look like as every day brings new information. We'll go by the guidelines from CDC, WHO, and our state and county, of course, but also what we feel comfortable doing. Our main priority is the health and safety of our fabulous staff, our local community, and all of you.
In the meantime, we're so grateful for all your support. Each order we get, each package we bring to the post office, keeps the lights on one more day. We're not going to let this virus shut down this lovely community. We plan to be here for many years to come!
Until then, please stay well and...
Happy Stitching!

Fun Friends to Crochet
We love these fun kits from our friends at Toft in the UK. We have more than 20 different kits in stock. Each kit comes with everything you need, including the hook!
When you're done, you now have a pattern you can use with any size yarn you want, just change your hook size to make your friend smaller or larger.
For a limited time, order a kit and get an additional pattern for free!

Rainbows!
We all love rainbows, which have been a sign of beauty and hope for a long time. In recent days the rainbow has also become a symbol of support for all the amazing people on the front lines doing their best to keep us all safe and healthy.
We offer these knit and crochet patterns at no charge in the spirit of Gilbert Baker, designer of the Pride flag who also never asked for payment on this worldwide design.
These pieces are done with 6 skeins of Berroco Ultra Wool in your choice of colors. We created a bundle of the recommended colors and offer it at a 10% savings!

We did mention sale yarn, didn't we? It's easy to find what's discounted at the web site, just click on "On Sale" and see everything we have discounted! These are final sale items and we're unable to special order them, as a rule.

Our tree outside the shop needs a new sweater, and we need your help!
Our beloved, and much photographed 'yarn bombed' tree outside the shop needs to be refreshed. The lovely squares all around the tree are getting to the point where we really need to replace it.
We need squares! Make us a 12" square. If it's a little longer, that's ok! Any yarn, though the best would be something like
Berroco Ultra Wool, as it's durable, washable, and holds it shape well over time. We'll take any fiber, any design, any technique! So knit it, crochet it, weave it, whatever makes you happy!
Then drop your square(s) off at the shop, or mail them to us at the address below:
Ball & Skein
4210 Bridge St STE 6
Cambria, CA 93428
Be sure to include your name so we can thank you for them!
We'll let you know when we're ready to decorate the tree.
It won't be soon.
It's always a fun day and we love the help!
