Today’s deliveries brought us a new big box of Ozark Handspun in a bunch of new colors! This is a thick-thin-curly-random kind of yarn that makes the funkiest hats and scarves (or whatever else strikes your fancy!)!!!

And in honor of this new arrival, I present our blog’s first FREE PATTERN! Using one skein of Ozark Handspun and one skein if Bulky Lopi (or equivalent), you can make this fun hat, designed by one of our own:

As the holidays approach, we get more and more cool giftie items in stock. Such as these Zecca scissor fobs:

Also just in, are Zecca point protectors and scarf/hair pins!

Coming up in classes, we have Spinning on a Wheel on Wednesday November 15th - if you’re interested, sign up quick! Students will learn how a spinning wheel works and the basics on getting started with spinning your own yarns.

In other news, today’s actvities included building a new glass display case where you will find such gems as the aforementioned Zecca items as well as other shawl pins, knitting-related jewelry and more! Also, cool new gift items are being added to the online store today including a drop spindle kit, a dyeing kit, and several felting and needle felting kits. Fun to make…fun to give!

Come on in - it’s better than being out in the pouring rain we have going on today. Yick!
