NEWLY IN-STOCK YARN LINES
Monday, January 2, 2017 – Newly In-stock Yarn Lines
Hello, on the holiday Monday. Though the store is closed today, we thought we would drop an email into your Inboxes. And, just a reminder, that the store is open late every Wednesday night until 9:00 pm in the evening.
‘Everything old is new again’ or so the saying goes, and it is rather apropos to today’s email. We’ve come full circle and are now, once again, carrying some of the Sirdar Brand Yarns!
SIRDAR – A British brand with a breadth of history!! Sirdar dates back to 1880 when the original spinning company was established by the Harrap Brothers, and is still going strong. We are pleased to, once again, be carrying some of the Sirdar Line of Yarns…starting with:
SNUGGLY DK
Soft and cuddly, Sirdar's Snuggly DK is your go-to for baby projects (well… not just for babies alone; Snuggly DK is a versatile yarn for ALL ages!) Snuggly DK has a softness that babies (& adults) love, is washable, non-irritating and easy to work with and it comes in a wide range of colours, too. Snuggly DK is easy care and will keep its quality through machine washing and tumble drying. Made in Turkey.

SIRDAR COUNTRY STYLE DK has been around for, literally, decades – proving true that a good quality yarn really does stand the test of time! We are proud to, once again, be carrying this affordable, high quality, versatile DK weight, washable, wool-blend yarn.
A word from Sirdar: ‘Country Style DK is a beautiful, classic double knitting yarn, which has always been incredibly popular. This exceptional yarn has a heritage going back to 1980, when it was first launched – and we have now made some improvements. We have increased the wool content to 30%, making the yarn feel soft and knit beautifully. We have also re-vamped the colours and have many washable & stylish shades.’

SPECIAL PURCHASE & now in stock…
New, with limited availability, Addi presents…
addi® Nature Click Olive Wood Set
‘The Rolls Royce of Interchangeable Needles’
Olive Wood is absolutely, naturally beautiful!! Each needle has its very own distinctive, picture-like ‘wild grain’ marbling. Each 5-inch needle tip is finished & polished to perfection, with a plant based oil to protect its unique look & so that stitches glide smoothly and the needles are quiet and comfortable to work with, as all tips and grips attain body temperature quickly – making them a great choice for everyone and especially for arthritic hands; also great for people with nickel allergies. These needles are a true pleasure for knitters!
The addi Nature Olive Wood Click set comes with addi’s standard lifetime guarantee – “naturally” made in Germany, of course.
The addi® Click Olive Wood Set provides 8 different sizes of addi® Olive Wood tips (3.5mm, 3.75mm, 4.0mm, 4.5mm, 5.0mm, 5.5mm, 6.0mm, and 8.0mm), three different lengths of our new, extremely pliable addi SOS cords (24”, 32” and 40”), and one connector piece which helps to either store stitches or combine your cords, and as an added bonus, 1 addi gold pin – all neatly packaged in addi’s Olive-coloured, purse-size, soft case that is just right for travel.
The Click tips require no tools to change; simply insert the cord deep into the tip, twist and release for a snag-free transition to the tangle-resistant cord. The tips will remain secure until you change them, thanks to the Click’s revolutionary locking mechanism! Olive Wood Click tips are 5 inches long and are fully interchangeable with the Turbo Click cords.
Bonus: Each SOS cord features a small slot below each "end cap" to thread a life line through! No more using a tapestry needle to pick up stitches!
We now carry … SAFETY EYES!
Safety Eyes can be a hard item to find in our city of London, just ask a few of our customers that have been on the hunt for them!! Janet has sourced out a supplier to be able to offer you a nice range of colours & sizes in Plastic Safety Eyes, for all your ‘Stuffie’ Projects, from amigurimi figures to dolls to knit & crocheted and hand and/or machine sewn animals & monsters.
Simply insert the safety eyes into your toy and fasten in place with the included safety washer for the backing, all while saving yourself the step of embroidering eyes onto your toy. Each package includes 2 pair of round eyes in the same color, with six colors to choose from.
Safety Eyes – ROUND – available in 6mm, 8mm, 12mm, 15mm, 18mm & 24mm diameter sizes and each size offers 6 colours to choose from (with the exception of the 6mm size that is only available in black or white).
Safety Eyes – SLIT – available only in 10mm diameter size, but offers seven colors to choose from.
Last week, we shared with you Janet’s latest Machine Knitting Pattern Booklet, “Mittens on the LK150”. What I forgot to mention is that she gives you FIVE different cuff options!!
So, between the varying Cuff options, the extensive choices of yarn these days – think ‘self-striping’, ‘fairisle effect’, solids, heathers, tonals, etc., and the many sizes, there are endless possibilities for making a wide variety of mittens for all your friends & family.
Hurry in & get your copy today.
Talk to you again next week,
Patti-Ann
