Hello Everyone,
Have you noticed the early morning chill in the air? The urge to grab a sweater before you leave for the day? Fall's approach is undeniable and with it, some wonderful cool weather knitting. The fall yarns and patterns have been arriving. The new fall class schedule is now
available at the shop and on the website. We're ready for a fun and exciting season.
Before we jump fully into fall, I want to hold onto these last weeks of August as it is a very important month here at The Knitting Experience Café. On the 27th, we celebrate our 2nd anniversary. It seems impossible that two years have passed since we opened our doors. During that time, we have met the most incredible people, made wonderful friends, and learned that the possibilities for our craft are limitless.
We love to celebrate with a sale, and our 2nd anniversary is no different. This year, we decided to offer discounts on those yarns that have had a special significance for each of us.
I picked Noro Kureyon. Before the shop opened, I sat with sales reps from each yarn line I would eventually carry. On the day that the Noro representative arrived, my oldest son was with me and actually helped me select colors. One of his picks - a Kureyon color - has become one of our best sellers. In our household, it is known as his yarn and he is always asking for updates on its progress and what people are making with it.
Becka selected Blue Sky Alpacas 100% Sportweight Alpaca. She first used this yarn when making the Shedir hat. It was that project that caused her to discover the Rogue sweater and prompted our summer knit along.
Without any hesitation, Peter picked The Fibre Co. yarns Road to China and Pemaquid. He unpacked these yarns when they first arrived and has insisted ever since that he NEEDS a sweater out of either or both.
Starting Saturday August 25th, each of our in-stock selections - Noro Kureyon, Blue Sky Sportweight Alpaca, and The Fibre Co.'s Road to China and Pemaquid - will be 20% OFF through Saturday, September 1st. That's right, these yarns will be 20% OFF for an entire week.
In addition, we will be placing a small number of discontinued yarns on clearance starting August 25th. You can expect to find discounts between 30-40% on these yarns while supplies last.
Thank you all for your incredible support and here's to another wonderful year.
Happy Knitting
Chesley
