SWEATER WEATHER IS APPROACHING!
Monday, Aug. 10/20 – Warning: Sweater Weather Approaching!
While we are all still enjoying our summer, it’s hard to believe that ‘sweater weather’ is just around the corner! And, as much as we won’t want to admit it, it is coming quicker than we would like!
So, with that in mind, today’s email will help us get a jump start on our Fall knitting by featuring not 1 or 2, but FOUR fantastic sweaters that, if we cast on now, could be done just in time for when the weather changes!
Please remember that we are still operating via Curbside pickup, local delivery, or mail order. If you would like to inquire or purchase any of today’s offerings, feel free to email us or call us (519-474-0403) during our current store hours…
Store Hours for ordering & curbside pickup:
Sunday & Monday: Closed
Tuesday to Saturday: Open 12 noon - 4 pm

NEW in-stock Shawl Kits…
We have put together 21 ONE-OF-A-KIND kits for this shawl. Each kit is priced according to the yarns it contains, so all are priced individually. Each kit comes with instructions on how to arrange your colours (eg. which yarns are intended to be Colours A, B, C, and D), enough yarn to knit the shawl, and instructions on how to receive a free digital copy of this pattern. Should you wish us to print this 21-page pattern for you, a small printing fee of $2.00 will be added to the cost of your kit. You will require stitch markers and a 3.75mm x 32” (or 40”) circular needle for this project.
Because each kit is a ‘ONE-OF-A-KIND’, when choosing your kit colours, you might want to have a second or third pick selected just in case your first pick has already been sold. Please check our webpage listing to see which kits are still available for sale.
Would you like to help?
Since Vintage Worsted is featured as this weeks DropShip offer and Vintage is the yarn required to knit squares for the Covid 19 Memorial Blanket, this is the perfect opportunity to pick your favourite colour(s) from ANY of the 88 colours on Berroco’s shade card. Place your order with us and we will include your requested colours in our DropShipment Order.
Please Note: One skein of Vintage will knit one blanket square, with leftovers. Therefore, TWO skeins of Vintage will likely complete three blanket squares - something to keep in mind when picking your colour(s).
To download FULL details of the Covid 19 Blanket Project, as sent out in last weeks email, CLICK HERE.
And there you have it! Four sweaters, a shawl and a blanket project, plus an awesome selection of colours in both Vintage and Lettlopi. What will you be making, I wonder???
