More Time "Safer at Home"
As we begin to put this newsletter together, we have gotten word from the Governor of Maine that retail shops will likely stay closed until June 1. As disappointed as we are not to see our customers in the shop for another month, we have to believe that state officials have made a decision that is in the best interest of the state as a whole.

We continue to keep busy adding more yarns that can be purchased directly from the Heavenly Yarns section on the Fiber of Maine website. We are offering free shipping on a purchase of $30 or more until the shop is open again. (Use code LOVEMAINE in the discount code box at the checkout.)

Helen is at the shop Monday through Saturday 11 am-4 pm, for any questions you may have or to place a curbside or phone order.

We can't let you know enough how much we appreciate your support. Thank you.

Cheryl's Favorite Sock Pattern
Cheryl's father turned 80 years old in April and of all the people she has given knitted gifts to in the past, her father is the one that makes her feel like he understands and appreciates her gestures of love. She has made a pair of socks for him before -- in String Theory's Bluestocking (hand-dyed Bluefaced Leicester) -- and he loved them so much that she used it again to knit these special birthday socks. This  makes her happy too because she loves knitting with Bluestocking!

Cheryl's uses Emily's Favourite Socks pattern by Emily Foden. This pattern is about a $4.00  purchase on Ravelry. Cheryl says this is a straightforward pattern that has a roomier rather than a "too close" fit, and she thinks the pattern matched with Bluestocking makes the nicest pair of socks.

Sock Yarn is a Great Summer Investment! 
Socks are a great summer project because they travel well: They are small, and other than when it comes time to turning the heel, most sock knitters don't need to refer to a pattern when knitting a basic sock making it an easy grab and go project.

Since we last emailed, we have added more of our sock yarn lines for direct purchase on our website. We still have many more that are not listed, including our sport, dk and worsted weights. 

Please feel free to call us if you would like to talk sock yarn options!

Needles 
We have always had a few needles available for sale on the Fiber of Maine website. Although the needles are not Maine made, we had them there just in case someone wanted to do a "one stop" shop or would like to put together a gift project.

We added a few more needle options which you can buy directly online from our website, or feel free to call us for something you are looking for!
