April 3, 2007 a new source of hand painted sock yarnYou would think it unlikely for one retailer to advertise the wares of another, now, wouldn’t you. However, when retailer A (that’s me) is the proud mother of retailer B, it happens. If you’re looking for something new and interesting, wander over to Ellie’s Ewes Hues, the brand new creation of my daughter Liz. This all started last year when Liz and I went to Camp Stitches and learned to dye yarn from Merike Saarniit, a master in the field. I had a great time, but Liz discovered a grand passion that weekend. She has an innate color sense that just blows me away! Okay, okay. Enough motherly gushing. Just go look, before it’s all gone.

a lovely blend of merino wool, organic cotton, linen and soy fiber. I love the ode to this yarn written on their tag.
You have to come see this yarn to truly appreciate it. Pictures just don’t do justice. In the same UPS shipment we received the new Vogue Knitting (best issue I’ve seen in years) and a new felting book from Interweave called Felt Frenzy. It goes beyond knitting and felting, inclluding directions for wet felting, needle felting and some freeform stuff as well. Shannon Oakey strikes again!
It’s a good thing that it’s Knit Night tonight — you’ll have a chance to see these things up close and personal. Filed Under: What's New?, General March 28, 2007 ch ch ch ch changesNew and exciting things are happening at Yarn Expressions. Item #1 is a change in store hours. Beginning April 1, we’ll be open from 11:00 until 4:00 Monday through Saturday, and 11:00 until 7:00 on Thursday. Item #2 has me really excited. I’ve just signed an agreement with Majacraft to sell their spinning products. Those of you who’ve been to our Sunday Knit and Spin Ins have seen me with my green wheeled Suzie Pro. Now you’ll be able to spin on one too! I’ll be placing an order soon, and hope to have wheels shortly thereafter. We’ll also be making arrangements to have spinning lessons available at Yarn Expressions. Watch for a notice here when they’re finally set up. Item #3 has me even more excited. We’re in the planning stages for this year’s Knitters Retreat. Set aside October 5-7 so you can join us at the Dubose Conference Center in Monteagle, TN. It’s an easy drive from anywhere in North Alabama, Southern middle Tennessee and North Georgia and the scenery should be gorgeous in early October. There’s space for only 20 people this year, so early sign up is a must. I should have final details and cost ready in the next week or so, and will post a link here when we’re ready to take reservations. Change is good!

It’s all about socks this week. The sequel to Sensational Knitted Socks arrived this morning, along with the new issue of Spinoff, featuring Kool Aid dyed hand knitted socks. We’ll have plenty to drool over at Knit Night tonight. Come on by between 5 and 7. Filed Under: General March 8, 2007 Knit NightIt’s that time again — Knit Night tonight from 5:00 to 7:00. Get your fill this week, because we’re closing at 5:00 next Thursday. I’ll be traveling, and though you certainly can knit without me, I don’t want Janet working alone at night. Come see the new shades of Rowan’s Calmer that arrived yesterday afternoon, along with their newest yarn for spring — Damask. Filed Under: General March 1, 2007 Thursday updateI’m watching the weather map, and looking at the list of school and business closings, and have decided to close the store at 11:00 this morning. Stay home and be warm and dry. See you tomorrow. Filed Under: General February 23, 2007 we interrupt your previously scheduled programming
I don’t normally interject my personal life in this space, but this is important. Today is a momentous birthday for my beloved husband, BJ Bass. Without him I wouldn’t be here, and neither would Yarn Expressions, for more reasons than one. So go wish him a happy birthday, and identify yourself as a friend of Yarn Expressions.
