Just got some Crazy Sexy Wool kits and Chunky Shiny Cotton from Wool And The Gang. Check them out. (prices slightly higher in store but you don’t have to pay for shipping)
I have the Joli Mimi Cardi, the Tropical Tunic and the Stripy Coco Mariniere. All kits come with a pattern, yarn, needles, darning needle and some a crochet hook. Whatever you need to complete the project is in the bag. These make a great gift or a holiday project.
I also stock the Shiny Happy Cotton yarn to make a second or for other projects. This luscious Pima Cotton is a fantastic chunky weight, so it knits up much faster than your average DK.
More kits and Crazy Sexy Wool to follow, can’t wait.
Just in today Fleece Artist Trail Sock: Merino nylon and Sea Wool: Merino Seacell as well as Handmaiden Casbah: Merino, nylon, Cashmere in gorgeous colours.

Hi friends. I was just wondering if anyone out there is an Accountant or Book Keeper who wanted to answer some quick questions for yarn? Don’t worry, I’ll account for it in inventory and fees. I know there was one very hip young Accountant that came in and bought yarn at least twice. Anyways, older non hip accountants and book keepers welcome too. Give me a call so I don’t end up like this. Shoshana 778-549-5696

A professional photographer came into the store last week and asked if she could photograph the cats. I could not believe the posing on the table from the cats. It was completely Vogue ridiculous. They do love to make people happy.
Thank-You Paula for the lovely photos.

Hey Folks, I know Tuesday was supposed to be my day off, but it seems that I have been open most Tuesdays anyways. So I will be open. 11-5:30. By the way you can always make an appointment to come outside of regular hours or check to see if we are home between 10ish and 7 or so. Just call 778-549-5696
Thanks so much to the Educational Researchers for stopping by in between sessions at their conference. Hope to see you tomorrow.
Cheers Shoshana

Puppy Burgers on Special today at a Chinese Deli near Main and Hastings. Only $4.75. I don’t know if I should phone the health inspector or send over a translator.
I think the Store Cat did it.

Sweater and
Outer, both use wool and organic cotton blends for versatile yarns perfect for the not quite hot, not quite cold climate of Vancouver.
For warmer days and lighter knits Spud and Chloe Fine, a fingering/sock weight blended with silk instead of nylon, in vibrant colours is perfect.
Best of all, all three are superwash, aka can be washed in cold and dried on low, making care of knitted garments in Spud and Chloe super easy.
