Cute Little Sweater


You just have to  drop by the shop to see our newest sample called 
Little Details Cardigan.
It is knit from the top down and there are no seams to sew!
I knit it using Berroco Vintage yarn - a washable wool blend.
 As you can see, we have lots of colours of this yarn. 


It would also look adorable in 
Berroco Comfort 
or 
Plymouth Encore KW

I love the title of this book
Done by Monday


The book is a collection of 15 afghans designs for knitters of any skill. 
Again you can use
 Plymouth Encore KW
Berroco Vintage DK
or
 Berroco Comfort KW

In total over 100 colours to create with!

It is time to pick up your needles and start creating!

Alpaca fingerless gloves plus

Here are the fingerless made from our exclusive
  Spring Hill alpaca yarn

 They feel so heavenly and is wonderful to knit with.



Just arrived - some more of their very soft alpaca - 2 ply alpaca - light cream
and 3 ply (sport weight) alpaca - a bit deeper cream
The fingerless gloves were knit using a Canadian designer pattern- actually from Ontario -
Cabin Fever.
 Wow - we sure are doing the "shop local" thing!

The name for these boards is so perfect.  - Roll and Block.
When you spent a lot of time making your project - taking time to block it will make your finished
project look very professional.
The boards rolls up conveniently when not being used. 
It is marked with a grid for easy measuring as you block.
