TWO EXCITING OPPORTUNITIES, JUST FOR YOU!
Monday, January 29/18 – Two Exciting Opportunities, just for you!
ALL NEW!
Our
2018 Bi-Monthly Yarn Club
…featuring Imagine Photography & London Yarns
Join us for our first ever Yarn Club!
The yarn featured in this Club is one of our favourites! Zen Yarn Garden in Sarnia, Ontario is custom dyeing this yarn EXCLUSIVELY for London Yarns and members will receive one skein of yarn & the greeting card that inspired the yarn’s colourway approximately every other month, starting this March.
Participants will receive a total of 6 skeins; each one being a custom colourway inspired by the photography of Janet’s husband, Darrell, owner of Imagine Photography. Two yarn “bases” in fingering (4-ply) weight are being offered for this club, and members can choose between Zen’s best selling cashmere blend Serenity 20 or Superfine Fingering, their very popular Superwash Merino/Nylon blend. Both bases have sufficient yardage in one skein to complete a scarf, shawlette, or pair of adult socks.
Members will be the very first to see and work with each new custom colourway as they will receive their newly dyed skein and greeting card weeks before the new colourway is displayed in the store for sale to the general public. The greeting cards are also unique in themselves, as the photograph on the front of the card is not permanently mounted; the photo can be easily removed and framed to enjoy for years to come!
Gifting a membership to this club would also be a perfect way to give your favourite knitter “the gift that keeps on giving” all year with a new colour being launched every other month!
There is a limited sign up window for this elite Yarn Club!! Registration begins today and continues until close of business on Wednesday, February 14th.
Bi-Monthly Yarn Club Membership includes:
A total of 6 skeins of yarn (milled in Italy, custom hand-dyed in Sarnia, Ontario) and
a total of 6 photographic greeting cards & envelopes
(inside of cards are blank & hand-made in London, Ontario),
all nicely presented in a clear packaging.
Membership Options:
Option 1 – Serenity 20 (70% Merino, 20% Cashmere, 10% Nylon) … $252.00 / year
Option 2 – Superfine Fingering (90% Superwash Merino, 10% Nylon) … $192.00 / year
Here is an idea of what you will receive – please note that these colourways are being used as EXAMPLES only.
Yarn Club Members will receive brand new, exclusive, ‘never before seen’ colourways!!
Hurry in before February 14/18, to join this elite Yarn Club!! Or you may call in to register, with your yarn selection & payment information. As, always, if you live outside of the London area, we would be happy to ship your bi-monthly yarn package to you.
London Yarns is pleased to announce ...
we are running another MKAL (Mystery Knit-A-Long)! Hurray!
This all new 2018 Mystery Knit-A-Long is going to be fun-Fun-FUN and unique, too … unlike any of our previous KAL’s!
A very big “Thank You” goes out to all of our customers who enjoyed our past KALs so much that they made a special point of calling up and asking when the next one will take place! Well the wait is over… here it is! One of our customers enjoyed the last “not so mysterious” KAL project so much she has completed 4 of them to date! Way to go!
This MKAL will consist of a total of 10 clues, which will be sent out weekly by email, on Thursday’s, starting Feb. 8th. And, the complete printed pattern (included in the cost) will be available for pick up at the end of the KAL.
Choose from a wide variety of yarn choices & colours (in Sport or DK weight) to fit both your fibre preference & budget.
Registration begins today and the MKAL starts February 8/18! So, hurry in (or call in) to sign up; choose your yarn, your colour & get ready for some excitement and knit away the winter blahs!!
Can you come???
There are still a few spots available for these two classes! If you can come, please let us know as soon as possible – call 519-474-0403.

This pattern has been taking the knitting world by storm… again. Originally published in 1968 the “BSJ”, as it is fondly referred to, has made yet another comeback. The design is ingenious, one piece of knitting with increases and decreases throughout and then folded just the right way, and taa daa…. A cute-as-can-be baby jacket complete with sleeves, front, back and button band. We have sold so many of these patterns that we felt a knit-along workshop was in order to help those of you who just may need a little motivation to get started…. And finished!

EXCITING TOOLS for LK150 KNITTERS
One 1-hour Session
Cost: FREE – but please call to register, as space is limited.
Dates & Times:
Tuesday, January 30/18 from 1 pm – 2pm
OR
Saturday, February 3/18 from 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm
Demonstrator: Janet
Please join Janet for a free demonstration using these exciting tools that are newly available for your LK150 Knitting Machine.
The new tools include a 5-prong, a 7-prong and a 4-every-other-prong Transfer Tool, a “mini” 20-prong Garter Bar and a Full Size (2 x 75-prong) Garter Bar Set.
A Garter Bar can prove to be invaluable for a Machine Knitter! Here’s why…
Garter Stitch is a very common & useful stitch (e.g. It does not curl, but lays flat & is a ‘go to’ stitch for trims, cuffs, borders, etc) B-U-T because of how labour intensive Garter Stitch tends to be on the LK150, Machine Knitters are often likely to avoid it – how sad! Well, here’s the answer – a Garter Bar!
A Garter Bar allows you to flip your work from Right Side to Wrong Side and back again, allowing you to knit garter stitch rows and/or garter stitch ridges with no waste yarn and no re-hanging stitches from waste yarn – what a time saver!!
Although garter stitch is the Garter Bar’s “claim to fame”, it also has many other uses, like:
- Removing & holding an entire piece of knitting, just like giant stitch holder, keeping your stitches live & protected (this is an especially beneficial feature if you have a ‘helpful’ kitten at your feet – just ask Janet!)
- Transferring multiple eyelet stitches, all at the same time
- Crossing multiple cables, all at the same time
- Moving large banks of stitches when shaping – e.g. at the top of a hat, gussets, pleats, darts, etc.
- Think of the Garter Bar as having one Transfer Tool with as many prongs as are needed for your projects (up to & including 150-prongs!!)
…just to name a few uses.
These tools are ‘Special Order’ items. You can place your pre-paid order at any time or when attending one of the demonstrations. If you are unable to attend one of the free demonstrations, please feel free to call for further details & pricing.
We eagerly anticipate & await your participation!
