June Sales & more!

It's almost June - Wow! Where does the time go?

A new month means a new sale. This month at DYNT, sock yarns are all 15% off! I figured socks are small projects, great for all the summer-time traveling. So stop in now and stock up! There's cotton, bamboo, and wool.

Remember, sock yarn's not just for socks - I'm currently making a "buff" like head wrap with some great bamboo sock yarn from Done Roving. Sock weight yarn is also good for belts, lightweight wraps, baby wear and as a substitute for some of the heavier weight crochet threads. I suppose it would also make great doll clothing!

I recently got in some Frog Tree Yarn Pediboo, it's a fair-trade wool and bamboo sock yarn, ('cause sock yarns' are on sale!) and some bright bulky alpaca yarn. Be sure to check them out. I opted for the bulky bright alpaca to help round out the local alpaca offerings...so if alpaca yarn's your thing, stop in. I've now got local hand spun in natural colors, local milled lace/dk weight in natural colors, and some fair trade bright bulky alpaca yarns.

Cotton sale and rainy weather...

Rain, Rain, Go Away, Come again another day! I know I should be thankful for all the rain, but could we at least share it with some drier parts of the world?

If the weather's gloomy grey days have you down, stop in at The Markethouse on Main! It's bright and cheerful inside. Gerry, @ The Hidden Nest is sprucing up for Spring. She just got some cool LED lanterns in! I wonder if they are bright enough to crochet by? Hmm.

Upstairs, Bridal Treasures is closed for remodelling...which means, I'm all by myself! Stop in and say hello. It would make my day.

I just got in some more Peace Fleece. I love their colors! Even their brights are "earthy". I've got a bunch of colors in worsted weight wool. This is a Fair-trade product and a partnership between a company in Maine and Russian farmers. I've got their cardigan kit, and I've put it on my list of projects... the list is long, so I'm not sure I'll get to it anytime soon!

Don't forget that cotton's are on sale this month. 15% off all cotton and cotton blends! Stock up! I know we should be thinking of lighter weight and summer-y projects... I don't know about you, but hats and woolly shawls or scarves still sound like a good option...maybe when this rain lets up? So if you stock up on your cottons now, you'll be ready for the lighter summer projects, when warmer weather does get here.

April showers bring May flowers... hope they're beautiful this year.

This month all cotton and cotton blend yarns are 15% off!

Stock up on your summer project yarns now! This sale includes the Peaches and Cream worsted weight cotton, cones, and Kraemer Yarn's Tatamy & Tatamy Tweed! If you are unfamiliar with the layout of DYNT - the first room you enter contains all the plant based yarns like bamboo, corn, and... cotton.

I'm currently working on a shawl using a pattern from Farmhouse Yarns and yarn from Done Roving (I know - mixing brands! But I love seeing how things work out.) The yarn is a bamboo/cotton/ elastine blend recommended for socks. It's a fun yarn to work with and is quite springy! Despite the stretchy characteristics of the yarn, it knits up evenly and consistently.

I hope to see you at the Markethouse on Main soon... DYNT is open Wednesday - Saturday. Stop by and say hi while you're wandering around town. Parking is in the rear.
