New yarns!!!

Sunday, April 5th, 2009

OK, so We have a TON of yarns available for custom order in our regular colors you see on the site or ANY COLORS we can imagine!!

I’m thinking we’ll put up a new page on the site with a listing of all the yarns available all categorized. We’ll have to chat up to the web designer to make it work but I think it’ll be a good idea!

Some of the yarns we have are so yummy and I wish I could keep them in regular stock. During the course of the year, some new bases will be added to regular stock, we just have to pick them!
