'APRIL FLOWERS BRING MAY SHOWERS'
Monday, May 8, 2017 – April Flowers bring May Showers???
Isn’t that how the saying goes???? 
Well, in this case, it has proved true this Spring! Have you taken notice of how plentiful the flowers have been, especially on the trees? The Magnolia trees were SPECTACULAR and look at this beauty... simply STUNNING!!
Can you believe that May is here already??? Where did April go so quickly?!?!?
With the warmer weather due to be upon us this week, we may want to do some ‘Spring Cleaning’, tidy up & put away all our ‘Winter Woollies’, including sweaters, hats, mitts, cowls, blankets, bedding, etc. and/or freshen up our Spring & Summer wear prior to wearing it this season.
In order to assist you do that, remember that we carry two very effective, easy to use, environmentally friendly, no-rinse ‘wool’ washes – that aren’t just for “wool”! They are equally as useful on cottons, swimwear, undergarments, blankets, and, yes, even pets. Here is a brief description of both the SOAK & EUCALAN products.
At Soak, we figure that if it’s not good for your skin, it’s not good for your hand-washables either. So we’ve made sure that all the ingredients in our gentle, no-rinse formulation are skin- and fabric-friendly, with no harsh chemicals or overwhelming fragrances. You can even use it to wash baby stuff and shampoo your pets!
Designed & made in Canada, everything we make is all about helping you clean and care for the washables you love most. This lanolin-free, eco-friendly, rinse-free Wash cleans beautifully, and is ideal for hand or machine washing. Show your laundry (and the planet) some love, with Soak.
Soak is available in an assortment of fresh fragrances:
- Celebration: Inspired by the essence of Red Tea. Sweet, delicate and absolutely delicious, this perennial favourite smells like good, clean fun.
- Fig: Fresh-picked clean. Fig is ripened with sweet fig and lychee and crowned by dandelions.
- Lacey: Lacey combines spring blossoms with sweet bergamot creating a light yet alluring fragrance.
- Pineapple Grove: Be a pineapple. Stand Tall, wearing a lily filled crown, and always be sweet on the inside.
- Yuzu: Clean with a peel. Pucker up and give your laundry some love with a kiss of tart citrus + crushed eucalyptus.
- Scentless: For your sensitive side. Scentless keeps your hand-washables (and sensitive skin) clean and fragrance-free.

Would you like a nice, easy compact TRAVEL KNITTING project? Well, may we suggest ...
“SPIRAL SWIRL HAT”
Our newest Dragonpine Design Hat Pattern! Cathy has been busy writing up the Spiral Swirl Hat, with optional Pompom. This project would be for great travel knitting!
