Dear customers and friends!
We hope you had a good summer!
Ours was sunny, busy - wonderful! Special
greetings to all those customers who we
had the opportunity to meet in person in
beautiful Campbell River.
Not only is fall here, really
here, but we also have been busy stocking
lots of shipments in the past couple of
weeks to assist you with your winter and
Christmas knitting projects.
This may also help you:
about 60 yarns are on the chopping block
to make room for about 40 new ones.
Discounts are at least 50%. See the
SALE
announcement for this Friday to the left.
Hope to see you here or to process your
online inquiries!
Cheers, Jurgen
Please read on and visit our
updated yarn
blog!
Happy knitting and crocheting this fall!

Some "unfinished business"
- Boy or Girl? In my
last newsletter I announced that we were
expecting a grandchild. It's a girl!
Stella was born in
Edmonton on August 15 and is spoilt by all
our knitting staff, family and friends.
See the precious and tiny addition to our
family in our
blog (you have to
scroll down to the second page).
- Upcoming Workshops:
Sorry we were too busy and had to shift
the planned workshops into the
first Quarter of next year.
Please stay tuned. New dates follow soon.
- Local Knit 'n Bitch Groups:
We have several dates each month and a
series of Thursday afternoon workshops
planned before Christmas. If you want to
join a group (free!) please
contact us and you will be
invited to the workshops!
- B&B for Retreats: I
mentioned that we now offer a very cozy
B&B which is an ideal opportunity for
3-6 knitters to come here
for a unique West Coast knitting retreat -
year round. We can arrange for workshops,
entertainment and dinners.
Ask for our special retreat
arrangement. Visit our Hidden
Harbour B&B

Our New Fall Yarns - trends in a
nutshell
We are convinced that we brought in for
you a selection of yarns which are "in",
trendy or en vogue, high end quality, for
affordable prices, in a stunning colour
variety. It's about 40 yarns alltogether,
check the list of new yarns
here.
A number of sock yarns
(look at the Kaffe Fassett colours!)
was added to our already huge sock yarn
selection. More and more
patterns for
sweaters, kids wear etc in self striping
sock yarns are available!
A number of soft, affordable and machine
washable baby yarns was
added to the
baby yarn department with
qualities ranging from acrylic to merino.
The many new luxurious yarns,
although more and more affordable, contain
blends of (or pure) angora, alpaca,
merino, llama, lambswool, kid mohair, baby
alpaca ... which makes you already feel
warm when you read this.
Check some hand picked new yarns
since our last newsletter in the left
column. Read the latest yarn reviews,
about current projects, new patterns and
books in our
Yarn Blog.

Some more Pebbles found for you
Alison, Inge and Pam are permanently knitting
samples for the store to showcase
new yarns, some
 of
which we publish in our blog. We also get
sample knits from our suppliers, so that a
visit here gives you a good feel when you
are not sure how a yarn would knit up.
These samples are also good ideas
for Christmas projects, as the
hats in the photo which Inge just knit up
( more
in the blog).
Just a reminder: we are distributors of
the soft and wonderfully grained
Surina knitting and crochet
needles plus a lot of accessories. In
addition to the existing wooden and shell
shawl pins we just got a
shipment of the new and attractive
Palm Shell Pins made from coconut
shells. We also added 3mm to
3.75mm single pointed knitting
needles to the wide range we have in
stock. Check our
Surina web page.

Last but not least:
Here
comes a special offer for knitting groups
and guilds:
Over the summer we had a lot of visitors
from all over the world who gave us the
impression that we 
are one of the best yarn stores they've
ever seen. We like to hear this, although
we know that size doesn't matter. It's the
quality, big selection, consulting, wide
price range and flair which come together.
Those who know us and like our service:
please tell your friends and get them to
visit our
web site and
blog and to sign up for our
newsletter (in this newsletter or on our
web site). Please forward
this letter to them (bottom of this
newsletter)!
If you are a member of a knitting group,
wherever in North America, you may qualify
for a 10%
group discount, which
offsets most or all of the shipment costs.
All we need is the chair of the group to
contact us and we will give
you a group password for
future orders. |
