NEW HOURS!
I know I should have posted this sooner... I just kept going back and forth about it, it's not a major decision, but I kept debating the pros & cons in my head.
Starting January 5th & 6th... Darn Yarn Needles and Thread will be open:
Wednesdays 10am - 4pm (noon - 4pm on the first Wednesday of the Month)
Thursdays 10am - 6pm
Friday 10am - 2pm
Saturday 10am - 4pm
The reasons for this are that there are alot of things reguarly scheduled on Wednesday evenings anymore, both for me and for everyone else. Also I have a regular apointment at 6pm on Thursdays - just a few blocks away. So now instead of heading home, and then back out, I'll just make Thursday's the long day of my week. Bridal Treasures is also open until 7pm on Thursdays, so now there will be 2 of open during the early evening on Thursdays.

U.S. Made Alpaca/Wool batting just arrived.
I'm not the best at keeping these posts up to date, I just feel as if I'm repeating myself or don't have anything to say on a regular basis...
Anyway, Christmas is quickly approaching. This weekend is your last chance to be entered in the gift basket drawing! Anyone who makes a purchase before the 22nd is eligible for a chance at the gift basket drawing. The basket's value is over $150! It includes Starlette Yarn, knitting needles, crochet hooks, a few notions, and gift certificates to 3 other Butler County shops - The Appalachian Rock Shop, The Book Place and Nicolette's Gift Shop!
Alpaca/Wool batting arrived last week! I'm excited about this product, it 's U.S. made and comes in multiple sizes - including craft & Queen. It's good for quilters, felters, and crafters. The batting can be cut to size or shape. For example, want to make a bag, cut it to shape, sew it together and then embellish as desired (with felting?). One customer thought it might make a fun and warm vest. The craft size retails at $16, the Queen at $49. This batting is also good for any reenactors you may know who need something a bit more "authentic" than polyester for their quilts.
Along those lines, coming soon are alpaca felt fat quarters - also great for crafts, embellishments, and felting! I haven't seen them yet, so I'm not sure how I want to sell them... check in later for prices, colors, and sizes.
If you or anyone you know are machine knitters, I recently got some coned cotton in. The colors are beautiful, the shelf looks like a giant Easter Egg! It greatly brightens up the corner during this early, already long and dreary winter. I'm not a machine knitter, and admit I know nothing about it... so you'll have to tell me what you're going to do with it. It's a fine weight cotton. Hand knitters and crocheters could use it too...
Stay warm!

Holiday Hours, etc.
Well, Butler's flooding! The intersection of North Main and Penn often floods...I'm hoping that the Markethouse on Main isn't under water! Being on the 2nd floor, the roof being in good condition is more of an issue. But we have new windows - that means that the room with the wool in it is mostly dry. The old window in there used to fill with water and drip or blow into the room - depending on the amount of wind.
If you aren't stranded on your own little island of dry, stop in this week and say hello. Now that Thanksgiving is past (you did have a good one, right?), the holiday hours are in full swing:
DYNT is open 10-6 on Wednesdays and Thursdays, 10 - 2 on Fridays, and 10-5 on Saturdays until Christmas. DYNT will be closed on Christmas Eve, Christmas day, New Year's Eve Day, and New Year's Day.
I'm thinking about next year's schedule and the shop hours - extending, changing and re-arranging. Let me know if you'd like to lead a knit or crochet along, workshop, or teach a class! The schedule is wide open.
It's not too late to start a gift project or shop for the crafter on your gift giving list. DYNT's got yarn, patterns, books, notions, needles and hooks...and GIFT CERTIFICATES if you just can't decide.
Happy Hanukkah to those of you who celebrate the Festival of Lights! I don't know enough about the holiday to offer you an appropriate blessing/salutation - but I hope it's a warm time of reflection as you spend time with your family and friends.
