Alzheimer's Association - Thank you updates!

Sometimes we try our best and still fall short. Fortunately you folks are all so patient and understanding of our foibles.

In our very incomplete list of thank yous we had one bad misspelling (we blame spell check!) So thank you so much Margie Sweetland!

Then, we also didn't thank someone that made a trip to Cambria and stayed for two nights in a hotel to sit and seam blankets with us. That's great dedication and we left her name out! (Shame on us) Deborah Garcia, we are so grateful for all the time and expense you put into this. We definitely could NOT have done it without you!

New from Schoppel

Schoppel is a yarn manufacturer in Germany. Most of us know Zauberball, their fingering weight yarn with great gradient colors.

Among their newest yarns is Alb Zauber Extra, basically a worsted weight version of Zauberball! You get all those fun, gradient colors you know from Zauberball, but in a heavier stitch gauge. It's also an environmentally friendly yarn as it's made from wool and biodegradable nylon! It's also machine washable, so go ahead and make hats, fingerless gloves, or anything where easy care is important.

Also new is Zauberperlen Hanf. Many of you have discovered Zauberperlen (translation: Magic Pearls) and how it creates beautiful gradients or 'fades' from the sequence of the pearls. This environmentally version is a great blend of organic merino and hemp! Can be machine washed on the gentle or 'wool wash' cycle.

Learn to Knit, The basics - An On-Line class!

Join us ON-LINE on Saturday August 13 at 9AM to learn to knit! This class is perfect if you've never knitted OR you want to refresh your skills.

As always, the class will be recorded so everyone that registers will get a link to the video to review. This means if you can't make the class that day, you can still sign up and learn to knit!

The class comes with yarn, needles, and instruction book, and two patterns!

Kris says, "See you in Class!"

A Trip to Uruguay!

Join a group of fellow fiber fans on a unique trip to Uruguay! You'll not only go to the headquarters of Manos del Uruguay in Montevideo, you'll travel out to the Cooperatives and meet the Artisans that own the company and produce the amazing, fair trade yarns we all know and love.

This trip is being organized by Manos del Uruguay and their US distributor, Fairmount Fibers. While we don't have all the details, we can tell you the dates are April 16 to 24, 2023.

Click the link below to see the latest details and to register your interest for this amazing trip!

Kris and Oz went on the first "trial run" of this trip, which was much shorter, so we know this one will be even better!
