Knit with wire
Want to try knitting with wire, but need a little help getting started? Check out this knit with wire tutorial that I made a few years back. This video is owned by the folks at Bead.TV, and is part 1 of a series of videos I made for them. This first video is free and takes you through the most important tips and tricks you need to know for knitting with wire. Additional tutorials can be found by subscribing to BeadTv.
Yarn Update
2 New Yarns and the Return of Halo
We have 2 new yarns in the store. Casbah Plush is a gorgeous DK weight Cashmerino from the folks at Hand Maiden. This is a special purchase yarn and it will be around for a limited time only.
Tippy Toes sock yarn is not a new yarn, but new to us. It comes from Interlacement Yarns, and we carry it in several of their popular color ways.
Finally, our shipment of 80 skeins of beautiful Halo Bundle yarn is in. You can see, touch, and buy this yarn in person at any of our upcoming shows. Our next show is April 28 at the Minnesota Knitter's Guild's YarnOver, held at the Minneapolis Marriott Northwest in Brooklyn Park, MN.
