Dear customers and
friends!
I hope this newsletter finds you in good spirits
and that you had a good start of 2010!
Our December Newsletter was
packed with valuable information. If you didn't
really check into it,
here it is again.
It's worth to dig deeper.
Did you know that you can check all our past
newsletters (with plenty of free patterns!) in
our
Links & Newsletters page?
Now, in this January newsletter I want to give
you just a couple of updates.
Our Lopi Palooza is in full
swing. The Islandic sheep seem to look on in
disbelief. The Lopi
yarns, our Yarn of the
Month of January, are
still available for
20% off for store purchases or
online orders which we receive
before February 1!
The Fair Isle Workshop with Miriam was a success
and the Lopi Sweater Knit Along is well underway -
but you may still join! See the
updated class list
for the first half of 2010!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A special treat will be a
weekend with
Maggie Jackson End
of March. We expect knitters from
the North West US and Western Canada and got first
registrations from Washington already. We updated
the
workshop announcement with
more accommodation info and a
sign-up form.
It all starts with a free Fashion Show
on Friday evening, March 26, then you can either
choose from two workshops on Saturday and
Sunday or better book both of them. Get
the special package price if you sign up before
February 16th! Secure
your spot!
Thank you for
your ongoing support!

Free Patterns of the Month
Did you check the last patterns from December and
January in our
free pattern page
lately?
Plus, Miriam Leth-Espenson left one of her designs
and a knit-up sample 
here after her January workshop - the
BC Ruffled Single Wrap in
Garter.
The Ruffle Effect is achieved by a method called
Wrap and Turn. The wrap can be worn
in different chique ways. See photo.
This pattern is free with the purchase of yarn only.
It requires 5 skeins of
Misti Alpaca Chunky,
our wonderfully soft alpaca yarn!

New Yarn Colours and how to find Yarns
In the course of the last couple of months we got
new shades of several yarn lines we carry, without
mentioning this fact. For example
 Marble
Chunky, this great yarn for
Afghans and more. Not only are we fully loaded with
all shades again, but we also got 5 new shades ( see
photo).
Here are some more but not all yarn lines with new
colours:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you are looking for yarns of a
special weight or for a specific project or from a
certain manufacturer or just want to
check the price of a yarn,
you best go into our web pages of all available
yarns, sorted
by name,
by manufacturer,
by weight,
or
by project.
We always work hard to update our about 300 shade
cards and just finished a major update especially
for those yarns which are discontinued or which we
decided to take out. We appreciate your
input when you come across broken links or
missing photos in shade cards. Would you then please
give us a
brief note!?
Thank you!
Check the History of Lopi and
all our available Lopi pattern
books.

ship to any destination in the US and Canada! Just

and orders!

In our
pursuit to bring in more buttons (more are
on their way!) we got very beautiful and
totally unique buttons from our local
professional glass blower Vicki (Tideline
Gallery).
Vicki' daughter had done a felted bag for
Christmas and they finished 
it with a self-made glass button as
embellishment - the idea
was born. The buttons have one, two or
three holes and range from $4.95 to $7.95
in price. The size ranges from 1 1/4" to 2
1/4". Click on picture
for larger image and give it a try.
Check also out our
Surina page for our
Surina buttons which we import
from India.
