HAPPY MONDAY
Monday, August 8, 2022 – Happy Monday
Last chance to pre-order!
August’s Colour of the Month
Ancient Arts Colour of the Month for AUGUST is still available for pre-ordering. It’s a LIMITED EDITION colourway that has the feel of the calmness of the water and the serene quiet of twilight on the east coast…
“PEGGY’S COVE, NS” Colourway
This LIMITED EDITION colour is now available for pre-order – we only get ONE chance to order this colour, so don’t miss out! Pre-Ordering deadline is Saturday, August 13, 2022.
Our August colour of the month was inspired by photographs taken from a sunset boat tour of St. Margaret's Bay and seeing the Peggy's Point Lighthouse bathed by the setting sun (shown below).
You can almost feel the calmness of the water and the serene quiet of twilight as the sun sets at the end of a wonderful day.
Isn't this a lovely and peaceful combination of colourways?

DROPSHIP OFFERING…
For any not familiar with Berroco’s DropShip service, this means that through London Yarns we can order ANY Berroco yarn, in ANY colour, and in ANY quantity (no minimums, no maximums). And if we order yarn for a specific Berroco project, they will include the printed pattern free of charge, even if they usually charge for the PDF.
So, if there is a Berroco yarn that you would like to work with, feel free to place your order with us.
**Please note: Because the DropShip program is a ‘special order’ program, we require payment at time of ordering and all sales are final.

Berroco’s Sea Star blanket is a pick-up-as-you-go hexagon design – no sewing/seaming involved! Create the size that works for your space with their soft and machine washable Sesame yarn.
This is a great project to get started on right now. In the beginning it is portable and light in the lap – perfect for ‘warm weather knitting’ and perhaps by the time it grows larger and warmer in the lap, then the cooler weather will be setting in and we will be thankful that we started it when we did!
Finished Size: 46" wide x 69" long (117 cm x 175.5 cm); easily adjusted
Total Yardage: 2286 mtrs (2500 yds) of worsted weight yarn

About the yarns…
BERROCO SESAME – to order.
Wool, acrylic, cotton, and nylon come together for a vibrant yarn flecked with colour and texture. Pop your finished knit or crochet creations in the washing machine for easy care!

BERROCO MILLEFIORI – in stock!
Fun colours ebb and flow in random patterns to create a bold and happy fabric. Millefiori blends wool with acrylic for softness and stability with just a hint of shimmer. Choose from these 5 shades.
Our Cheryl has been busy yet again! Next time you come in, have a look at her crocheted Chevron ‘Purse’…but she has turned it into a very useful ‘yarn basket’ instead!
With straps, it’s a purse. Without straps and top folded over, it’s a fantastic yarn basket!

About the yarn…
MACRAME TWIST – 9 colours currently in stock
With 80% cotton content, this 3mm cord yarn has a firm hand, but is not stiff. And the chainette structure contributes to a yarn that is lighter in weight than other yarns of similar thickness that are plied traditionally. It is made of 100% recycled fibres, so great for the planet too.

NEW ‘MUST HAVE’ GADGET…
If you've ever had trouble counting the stitches in your gauge swatch, then this is the product for you!
Knitters and Crocheters alike will love how easy it is to measure gauge with the EZ PZ Gauge Ruler.
The EZ PZ Gauge Ruler from Crazy Cat Designs magnifies your stitches at 2x magnification so they're easier to see and count. Marked every 1" (2.5cm) on top and every 1/2 inch (1.3cm) on bottom for accurate results over a 4" (10cm) section, you'll easily be able to keep your place as you count stitches. No more hard-to-see stitches or losing count! This may very well be the last gauge ruler you'll ever need!
Size: 1” (2.5cm) wide x 6¼” (15.9cm) long, including hand hold.
One ruler per package; $18.98
