This is the newsletter you were waiting for.. with hot news and announcements!

Let's kick off the Fall and Winter Season with a fresh breeze and with fireworks of new products in all departments!

And where new stock comes in, old one has to be kicked out. This is a pre-announcement for you, our valued customers that we start a huge clearance sale this Friday - for a very limited time only!
 
While Inge looked after the new products, I put in endless hours for you to update our web site. It is worth browsing a couple of departments at www.needlenart.com and to get some good gift or project ideas! We are your yarn source and much more - the unique yarn, gift, decor, gallery and craft store in Western Canada!
 
In order to save you time I quickly show you news by departments. You may click those departments of special interest for you in the contents block to the left for a short cut!
 
Sincerely, Jurgen Kettler

We are grateful for our customers' feedback:
Mina: "Thank you for the enjoyment and fun that I had at your wonderful yarn shop.  Being in your shop is one of my fondest memories of my Campbell River vacation.  I will certainly check your web site often and pass it along to my yarn friends."
Doreen: "Just to say I enjoy the web site and find it very helpful in planning and selection."
Mette: "I received your shipment yesterday. Just LOVE the color of the Alpaca yarn. Thank you so much. It has been really great doing business with you. You will hear from me next time I need yarn."
