Merchant madness and another great cowl

 

Hello Everyone!

 Well, the lights are twinkling, the snow is glistening, so I just had to showcase this beautiful Diamond yarn called "Jewel Metallic"..it is just gorgeous! Lightweight,glittery and very reasonable..this is the perfect yarn to knit up that last minute gift for someone special. On size 10mm needles, you will knit this up in no time!


 It is like a wonderful piece of jewellery, stunning enough to invite all sorts of compliments, and the perfect accessory for the black and jewel toned tops we wear at this time of year!

  I have lots of colours in stock and at $7.50 a ball, they are flying out of the door!!
 

    And just a quick reminder, our Merchant Madness is this Wednesday, December 10th, from 5-9 PM...join us for a cup of Christmas tea, a sugar cookie. When you make a purchase, you can roll the dice and whatever you roll you will receive that percentage  off of everything you are buying.
So come out and see how lucky you are!!

Happy knitting,
Lynn

Indigo Dragonfly Yarns now at The Purple Sock!!

 
 Hello everyone!

 

  Well, fall is definitely behind us and while winter is "officially" several weeks way, that white stuff outside says "winter" to me. So, what better way to celebrate winter than with this gorgeous new yarn...Indigo Dragonfly is a great company from Haliburton with this fabulous indie-dyed yarn! The colour names are based on T.V. shows including Doctor Who, Downtown Abbey and The Hunger Games, very cool!

 

  I can just see this Superwash Merino made into fabulous socks for Christmas, or a lovely shawl for a friends birthday. Plus, the depth of colour in this tonal yarn is just incredible, so come on in and add this to your Wish List or buy a skein and make someone something wonderful for Christmas!!

 

 And speaking of Wish List!! We have been doing this for a few years now and it has been so successful...it makes it super easy for friends and family to see what you really want to find under the tree or in your stocking! Just ask for the Wish List, add your selections and leave the rest up to Santa....

 

 And before your calendar gets too booked up, don't forget the Coldwater Candlelight Walk on December 6th and also Merchant Madness on December 10th....watch this space for more information!

 

 Happy Knitting,
