Hey Buddy!
After a LONG wait, we have the Namaste Buddy Cases back in stock! 
Hurry though - they didn't last long the first time around and I expect that they will be going fast this time too (and at a retail price of $15.00 they are a BARGAIN!).
Buddy - We've missed you!!!

Feet First!
You've got to love a good sock yarn, don't you? We've got quite a selection for you, but we figured we still have room for more, SO...................................
we just unpacked another box of sock yarn! This time around it is Claudia Hand Painted Yarns in her Fingering Weight. Above is just a sampling of the colors that we received - check here for all the colors that we have right now.
I don't know about you, but I just LOVE sock knitting with merino wool that has a nice tight twist. That's exactly what you'll find in this sock yarn. Good Stuff!!!
Speaking of sock yarns, the end of last week we received Jojoland Melody Superwash. This is another great yarn that can be used for socks, scarves, baby items - you name it! The colors are great - gradual self-striping 100% Superwash Merino yarn with 220 yards per skein - and check out the price! $6.25 per skein - that would make a pair of socks for under $13.00!!!

It's about the socks!
We've been getting in a large amount of sock yarn lately (Shibui, Casbah, etc.), but most of our latest shipments have been varigated, solid, or tone-on-tone sock yarns. The self-striping sock yarn lovers have been lacking in new arrivals - let's correct that, shall we? This week we've gotten in 2 different shipments of self striping yarns. Pictured is a new yarn from Schoeller & Stahl called Sockina Color. We've got 8 different colorways in some fun, bright self striping colors. We also received another shipment of Trekking XXL and we're also expecting a new Opal yarn sometime this month too!!!
