Holiday Open House at the Yarn Garden

Season's Greetings!

Is it really December already? I still have to block my mother's shawl, finish my son's other clog, decide how long I want to make my daughter's shawl (Does it really have to cover both shoulders?), but all I really want to knit is the beautiful cabled sweater I have started for myself. Can you relate?

Let's take a break from all the madness and help celebrate the coming holidays! Put down your needles and join us on Saturday, December 13th from 10:00-3:00. We will mingle over hot cider and yummy cookies from Beth Thompson. As our holiday gift to you, ALL regular priced items will be 20% off.

Hope to see you next Saturday!

Come in and see what Sublime has to offer. You will not only be pleased with the yarn... the pattern support is fantastic!

New Products for Fall

We are so excited to announce some of our new products!

We now have:
Misti Alpaca's Hand Painted Suri & Silk-
It is 80% suri alpaca and 20% silk. It feels great and the colors are beautiful! Our mannequin is proudly wearing a clapotis knit in this beautiful yarn.
Miski by Mirisol- This yarn is 100% baby llama making it incredibly soft! A number of customers have tried it and they have already come back for more. The colors are bold and the line offers great pattern support by Jane Ellison. A portion of every purchase is dedicated directly to funding a school in the remote area of Munani in the region of Puno to educate the children of the shepherds (visit http://www.mirasolperu.com/).
Quiviuk- What can we say about a yarn that is softer than cashmere and warmer than wool? This yarn comes from the underbelly of a musk ox found in the Arctic region. We have 100% Quiviuk as well as blends with silk and merino. The colors are gorgeous, you must come check it out!
Calm Wool by Elsebeth Lavold- This yarn is a blend of 40% wool, 30% camel, and 30% alpaca. What a wonderful blend of fibers! Together they create a soft, luxurious yarn at a great price.
Grace Silk & Wool by Louisa Harding- A 50-50 blend of silk and merino wool, it is not only great to work with, but works up beautifuuly. It also comes in hand dyed colors.
