Friday was a great day for fiber delivery in the shop! We received shipments from Frabjous Fibers and Louet.

From Frabjous Fibers we received more of the Merino and Blue Faced Leicester hand painted braids. I've spun up several of these and they are GREAT to spin - no felted areas anywhere in the fiber.

From Louet, we received more colorways of their Northern Lights fiber. This stuff practically spins itself - in fact we've had some beginning spinners working with this and they've done great. We also received more of their Dyed Merino/Silk top too. Super Soft and also great to spin.

We're working on getting the fibers listed in the online section of the website so keep checking back.

We've also started to put our Fall Classes online and we're starting to take registrations. You can register by phone, in person or online. There will be more coming, so keep checking back.

This Friday, August 1st, is Friday Night Knit Nite at the shop from 6 - 8 pm. (Can you believe that August starts this week??). Drop me a RSVP to pam@knitterspalette.com if you will be attending. And since we do Open Spinning on Friday afternoon, if you want to spin on into the evening, that's fine too!

MORE SALE ITEMS ADDED: We've added the following spring/summer yarns to our specials page:

Nashua Cilantro and Classic Elite Premiere are now 25% OFF!

(Sale prices are good online and in person too.)

Time to add to our sale items!
This week we are adding Debbie Bliss Prima - NOW 25% OFF! This is a wonderful 80% bamboo, 20% Merino Wool yarn that has a beautiful sheen and drape. DK weight yarn, 110 yards per skein.

This week, our addition to our Summer Special yarns is Classic Silk from Classic Elite. This silk/cotton combination has a great nubby look with a little sheen and a great natural silk feel. It's a spring/summer weight yarn that looks perfect! You can't buy a better yarn at this price, with this value - and with a 25% discount too!

We've been ordering great yarns for the upcoming fall and winter. Since it will start arriving in the shop soon, we need to clear out some of our spring/summer yarns to make room for the incoming! And since there is still plenty of summer left, there is still plenty of time to be working on the summer projects!

This weeks specials are the spring/summer yarns from the Mirasol collection - Cotanani, Samp'a and T'ika - Priced at 25% off! There is great pattern support for these yarns in the Mirasol Collection - Book 2 but they will also work well for any pattern that calls for a DK or Light Worsted Weight yarn.

We'll be adding new items on sale each week, so the best way to keep track of what's on sale is to check our specials page on the website.

Another new arrival in our sock yarn inventory this week is Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in the colorway "Franklin's Panopticon".

Shepherd Sock is a great sock yarn - nice to work with and very soft and nice to wear. Team that up with a terrific colorway and it is definitely a winner in my book!

....and we're not talking about the Asian Lady Beetles here!

Our order of Schacht Ladybug Spinning Wheels has shipped and should be arriving the very first part of next week.

This should be fun - the reviews for this little wheel have been great so I'm excited to get them in the shop.

We know how popular the Pagewood Farm Chugiak yarn has been in the shop for socks and lace projects. We received another box of that great yarn.

But the really good news is that we have received one of their new yarns - Alyeska. This is a blend of Merino, Cashmere and Nylon (80/10/10), has 360 yards in a skein and knits up at 7 - 7.5 stitches per inch on a US 2 or 3 (recommended gauge). Best of all - it comes in the same great colorways as Chugiak - is SO soft and can be machine washed on gentle cycle! Time to get those needles fired up on a wonderful pair of socks for yourself or get started on the holiday knitting (and may we remind you that the holidays are less than 6 months away?).
