With the weather turning cold on us now - what a great time to learn how to knit socks to keep them warm and toasty! We have a workshop on October 10th and 17th to help you work your way through to a finished sock.

At the end you will have completed a mini sock to get you prepared to make a pair to fit your footies!

The cost is $50.00, the sessions are 2 hours each and we include 4.5mm needles and a ball of worsted weight yarn. Call us or come in to the store to register.

Yes, two blog posts in one day today! I just couldn't wait to telll you all that the Cascade Eco Wool, and Eco + have arrived in the store! Apparently, we are the first in Canada to be carrying this yarn, so do come in and have a look!

Eco Wool is a 14-16 st / 4 inch wool comes in beautiful right from the sheep colours and has a whopping 437m per skein!
Eco + has the same yardage, and comes in some wonderful non-sheepy colours!

That means that you'd only need 3 skeins for a sweater!
Just look at this comparison... a normal size skein vs. a ball of Eco Wool:



It's HUGE!
