More Gorgeous Ontario Yarn! View this email in your browser Hello everyone, I love bringing you local yarns, so when I found this one, I just had to order it! From Napanee, "All Dyed Up" is a stunning hand painted fingering weight yarn. In two blends, one with Super-wash Merino and Nylon, and the other with the Merino, nylon and a lucious touch of cashmere, both blends have 365 metres and are perfect for socks, shawls or sweaters. If one of these colours strikes your fancy I am happy to set it aside for you.  As you know with hand dyed yarns you might never see the same colour again!! I am also happy to pop things in the mail if you can't get in. Hope to see you soon! Happy knitting, Lynn

Looking for some summer activities for the kids?!   Hello everyone, Well, summer is truly here, hot weather and all, but when the next rainy day arrives, you will be a real hit when you bring out these kits for everyone! From the knitting looms which are super easy to use and let your young crafters create hats and cowls and scarves, to the fantastic fun of Kumihami, a Japanese braiding technique that produces friendship bracelets, keychains, and a myriad of funky, braided items. Then, to really ramp things up, the weaving sticks are terrific fun, making guitar straps, belts, headbands..you name it! And finally, a small loom will make it easy to make coasters, doll blankets or whatever else your young "designers" can come up with! In addition to keeping everyone busy on a rainy day, these kits make wonderful birthday gifts for the "tween/teen" age group...it is never  too early to get them started on using their hands to create  practical and beautiful items for themselves or for gifts for friends and family! Hope to see you soon... Happy Knitting, Lynn

Oh! The JOY of silk!! Hello everyone!  I am so excited to showcase this Juniper Moon yarn...the ancient Irish name "Aine", means "brilliance and radiance" and that certainly applies to this 100% Mulberry silk. Made in Italy, this lace weight silk is simply fabulous, so very soft and silky, it simply flows through your fingers as you knit. With stunning colours and some lovely accompanying patterns, this is perfect for a light summer top or evening shawl...and as it is now FINALLY officially spring, that means summer cannot be far behind! I hope to see you soon, if you see a colour that speaks to you, give me a call or an email and I will set it aside for you. Happy Knitting! Lynn
