is The Yarn Barn’s 17th Annual Super Bowl Sale!!!

Classes, Sales & Football!
A very belated Happy New Year to everyone - but we’ve been busy busy busy!
The newsletters are being mailed and the email list is being notified…but you can see our newly posted Class List online!!! We start out this round with two special holiday classes:
If you’ve always wanted to try Needle Felting, take our Heart-Felt Bouquet Class on Saturday, February 2nd (9am-11am)! This new kit from Decadent Fibers contains all the tools and materials you need to make a one-of-a-kind bouquet of needle felted hearts!
Another Valentine-themed class is also an introduction to lace knitting - our Thinking Of You Scarf class on Monday, February 4th (7pm-9pm). Subtle hearts peek through elegant lace in this Heartstrings pattern.
Both of these classes are soon enough that your finished projects will be ready in time for Valentine’s Day - although they’d be great Mother’s Day gifts as well!
As for sales, we’ve got a coupon for you - bring it in-store and get 25% off Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Astrakhan, Merino DK or Merino Aran!
And, of course, we all know that Super Bowl is coming up…which means so is our annual Super Bowl Sale! Whether you need a project to work on during the game or a project to escape the game entirely, this is the sales event of the year.
More details on the sale will be posted, but save that date:

Carrots & Yarn Tastings! Oh, and some new stuff…
Have we got a class for you — just in time for all your Spring celebrations!
Using the Decadent Fibers kit (which is amusingly shaped like a carrot), you’ll learn just how much fun needle felting really is. The kit includes strands of green chenille to make your stalks and plenty of wool in various shades of orange to make several little carrots - it all depends on how big or small you decide to make them. We’ve scheduled it just in time for Easter, but these little carrots are fun to hang up for any reason!
And we have the bunnies for sale, too. 
———————————————–
In other news…we’ve scheduled a Yarn Tasting! Join us on Saturday, May 12th at 11:30am to get a sneak peak at the Fall yarn collections from Rowan, RYC, Jaeger and Gedifra. A $5 fee saves your reservation for this special event- this $5 will become Store Credit to use whenever you wish! Call us today at 203.389.5117 to make your reservation!

Did I mention the NEW STUFF? We-heh-helll…let’s start with Artyarns new Beaded Silk!
The little tiny beads make the silk even more gorgeous. We’ve also gotten a shipment of Artyarns’ new Cashmere 2 (as opposed to their Cashmere 5, which we also carry!). Delicious stuff.
And speaking of delicious, also just in: Claudia’s Handpaint SILK LACE.
This is 100% 20/2 silk laceweight and once you feel it you will not want to put it down. 1100 yards per skein give you LOTS to work with as well!
Also in…Lacey Lamb from Jade Sapphire!
Seeing as Jade Sapphire makes a lot of cashmere yarns, after feeling the cashmere-softness of this lace-weight yarn I was amazed to find out that it is really is “just” lambswool (even though I *did* see the name of the yarn)! You’ll have to feel it to believe it.
Lastly, for the sock-knitters, Reynolds Soft Sea Wool!
100% cushy dk weighted wool that makes for crisp stitch patterning in many colors. Reynolds has also published a great little book of sock patterns for Soft Sea Wool, with 12 designs for both men and women.
