Dear customers

Finally! Here we are again, you didn't miss
any newsletter since my last one in July!

Our granddaughter Stella with Oma's
Poncho |
We at the Needle & Arts Centre hope that you
had a wonderful Summer - as we had it here
- and started some exciting knitting and
crocheting projects. If not, this newsletter
should give you some project and yarn ideas
just in time!
And, we are once again streamlining our yarn
product range to make room for the new
Fall/Winter yarns: by kicking out yarns
which are discontinued or don't move. Check
out our list of SALE
YARNS and inquire online or hurry to the
store to get the best of it - for at least
50% off!
Happy Fall/Winter knitting and crocheting,
and
thank you for your business!
