Lovely New Things

We opened lots more boxes this week. Our Handmaiden wall is now bursting with cheerful Spring colours. There are tons of new Bias Shawl kits:


Some new Stormwater Shawl kits:


There are also some new colours of Cashmere Cloche kits, Devins Toque kits and Stormwater Scarf kits. And there are many more skeins of the luscious Swiss Mountain Cashmere and Silk, Pure Cashmere and Great Big Sea. Yum.

We also unpacked a big box of Pick Up Sticks kits. We've restocked the Snugs kits for adults, kids and babies:

So cute and snuggly. There's also a new Felted Snuglets kit, they're cozy little slippers made for baby feet. These kits come with leather sole pads and an elastic closure.

We also have the new Felted Ripple Tote kit. It comes in three different colourways, with a zipper closure and handles. And there's a new kit for the most popular Pick Up Sticks hat pattern, the Bell Hat. Felt on!

We received Sivia's gorgeous new Norwegian Woods Shawl pattern:

Simply stunning. Knit this with a beautiful lace yarn like the Handmaiden Sea Silk, Zephyr Wool-Silk or Malabrigo Lace and you'll be a happy little lace-knitter.

We've restocked the wonderful Soak wash that's perfect for handwashing fine fibers. If you have sensitive skin or allergies, try Soak Scentless. It's highly recommended by Amy Singer of Knitty. We also have the new Soak labels. Each pack has twelve labels with four different phrases like, "Don't Lose Me", "Look What I Made for You", "Handknit with Love" and "I Made This". Best of all, Soak is made in Canada.

If you're a gadget girl or guy, check out the new products from Nancy's Knit Knacks. There's the Knit-Kard Set, the Electronic Row Counter, the Circular Needle Id Tags and the DP Wip Tube for DPNs. All very clever and useful items for knitting and crochet.

After opening all these boxes, we got down to culling our collection of needles. We're absolutely overrun with needles and we can't keep them all. If you're an addi-lover, you're in luck. We put a bunch of addis in the sale bins today at 40% off the regular price. Much as we'd like to, we just can't stock every single size....

Be sure to check out the Noni Spring Collection of flower and bag designs. We'll have some of these great new designs very soon. And we now have some of the paraphernalia that you'll need to finish the bags like the handles, rings and studs.

Take your pick, we have lots of Spring projects to choose from...
