Posted by Lisa Krack on July 28, 2021

WTH?! Wednesday is a new monthly workshops for beginners. Explaining it reminded me of a number of recent visitors who were visibly upset with their current project. It's ok to get frustrated.

July's Yarn of the Month

Posted by Lisa Krack on July 7, 2021

It's July! Once again, I'm shocked at how fast time flies. New month means new yarn to feature.  This month's Yarn of the Month is Saucon Sock by Kraemer Yarns in Nazareth PA. This is a great fingering/sock weight cotton/nylon/acrylic yarn. The blend makes it machine washable and dryable! It's great for baby garments, lighter socks, summer tops, wraps, housewares (it makes great dishcloths) and accessories. The colors are tweedy, some more so than others, and vibrant. Stop in and see them for yourself!  This is a versatile yarn - especially for around here, where it could be 70 one...

Belfast Linen Blend is April's Yarn of the Month

Posted by Lisa Krack on April 6, 2021

Well, it's another month, which means another yarn to feature! For this month of unpredictable weather, warm days, and cold nights, wet spells and unshaded sunshine we're showcasing Kraemer Yarn's Belfast.  Belfast is mostly a cotton and linen blend, there are a few other fibers thrown in there - like silk. It's a DK weight (3) yarn that comes packaged in a 3.5oz/100g/200 yd center-pull skein. The tweedy colors are muted, on the neutral side, but far from drab or boring. Linen gets softer with wear/use, and so does this yarn. It also has nice drape and stitch definition. And,...

March's Yarn of the Month

Posted by Lisa Krack on March 2, 2021

This month we're featuring Ch'ichi by Mirasol. This unusual blend of alpaca, linen, and bamboo is great for this time of year - you know those, "Well, it is March." weather days, bright and sunny but bitter cold, warm with the coldest rain you've ever experienced, or anything in between. It's a sport weight, and comes in sherberty colors that remind me of Spring. The little bits of tweed add just enough interest.  This yarn has a surprising density to it, not really sure how else to explain it, and the alpaca adds some warmth too; making this a great...

Social Media as Neglected Earmuffs

Social Media as Neglected Earmuffs
I've been neglecting social media, unintentionally. So, kind of like a New Year's Resolution, I need to do better; or like when Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter books and movies neglects his earmuffs in Professor Sprout's class, we'll faint.
