Meet Atenti - Saturday October 1!

(You don't want to miss this)

We're very excited to announce the designers of Atenti, one of our favorite bag manufacturers, will be here on Saturday, October 1st from 11AM to 4PM!

They'll be bringing a bunch of beautiful bags. We'll also get them to tell us about the history of the company and how they create these beautiful bags.

It's their first visit with us!

Founded in 1990, Atenti's aesthetic is inspired by the vibrancy and spirit of Andrea’s hometown of Buenos Aires. Eventually daughter Nina was added to the design mix. Now, together, they work with materials sourced from U.S. mills and throughout the world. Fresh shapes and daring blends of fabrics and handmade embellishments are harmonized to evoke each season’s design moments. 

All products are lovingly handmade in the USA.

Just One More Week for this Trendsetter Promotion!

Apply the discount as often as you'd like!

Founded in 1988, Trendsetter has grown to be one of the premier yarn companies in the business. We're proud to have a long relationship with Barry Klein and the rest of the Trendsetter crew. We love his innovative designs and yarns, and we know you do too!

(knit with Trendsetter Spirit)

One new yarn this year is Spirit. Spirit, at first glance, looks like a standard mohair but it's something very different. It's a wool, silk, and cashmere blend that gives you the soft halo of mohair but with a different, merino-soft quality. Perfect for next to the skin pieces and garments of all types.

(knit with Trendsetter Milos)

Milos is a luxurious Cashmere/Cotton blend. You get the breathability of cotton with the softness of cashmere in this worsted weight yarn you're sure to love.

The two fibers in one yarn gives this a marled look that is very on trend!

(knit with Trendsetter Teddy Bear)

Teddy Bear is a fun, Alpaca based boucle yarn. This yarn solves the issue many have with boucle, in that it's designed to be knit on larger needles so they never get snagged in the boucle loops!

Both Teddy Bear and Cheerleader (shown below) would work great with our Kimono Style Vest pattern. Just 5 skeins of either yarn is all you need for a simple to knit, simple to wear piece.

Cheerleader is another Alpaca based yarn. It works up as a heavy worsted and comes with a touch of bling, courtesy of the sequins woven into the yarn. Use it for almost anything!

(Ball & Skein Boa - knit in Alegria Grande 9089 Huarache)

This is free open time where we chat, share ideas and projects. Join us and meet knitters and crocheters from all across the country, or maybe down the street!

It's the stitching group you didn't know you wanted to join and of course it's free. All skills and interests welcome from all over!

It's the stitching group you didn't know you'd love!

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. The dates are April 16 to 24, 2023.

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!
