More Diamond Yarn and Some Very Special Needles:

New yarns! Remember to click on the links so you can get a much better idea of how these yarns look. They do a far better job of taking pictures than we do.

Diamond Alpaca Gold

We've brought in some more colors of Alpaca Gold. This is 100% baby alpaca sport weight (2) and it's sooooo soft. You'll want to buy a hundred skeins and lay them all on the floor and strip down naked and roll around in them until you fall asleep.

L-R Ruby, Damson, Azure

That's not the way we recommend using this yarn, but, if that's what you want to do, we won't tell.

We have the following colors in stock:

1400 Pearl
1401 Anthracite
1402 Natural
1403 Sand
1408 Azure
1409 French Navy
1410 Ruby
1411 Damson

133 m $13.00

Diamond Soxy Lady

Who doesn't love sock yarn! And remember, sock yarn isn't just for socks anymore. Fingering weight (1) is versatile. Shawls, scarves, mittens, cowls, even sweaters! Sure it takes a little longer but knitting isn't a race - well, unless you have a bet going or something. It's a pleasurable cruise, breathe in, breathe out, admire the view, stretch, get the most out of your yarn by taking the time to enjoy it.

L-R Tunisia, Green River, Caravan, Mood Indigo

Soxy Lady - now there's a name! - is made up of 60% superwash wool, 20% alpaca (we love alpaca) and 20% nylon. This yarn is soft. You will be running on clouds. We would suggest wearing them with high heels so your feet don't ache at the end of the day or evening, but frankly that's not a very good look.

We have four colors in stock.

19 Night in Tunisia (now wouldn't I want the adventure that goes with that name)
25 Green River
26 Caravan
27 Mood Indigo

400m $17.00

Okay, all these names take me to different places in the world. I'll have to knit the socks and travel.

And now, as promised, those very special knitting needles.

We have several sets of Lantern Moon needles for you straight needle knitters. These wooden needles are a thing of beauty. You'll want to wear them in your hair or on your lapel instead of just knitting with them. Just think, a hair decoration that you can whip out and make a sweater with.

Sizes:

10"
4.5 mm Rosewood

12"
4.5 mm Rosewood, Blondewood

Our Sheep Has a Name!

After millions of entries from hopeful contestants, our sheep has a name.

Lori congratulates Della.

It wasn't easy. You people can be very clever.

The winning name is Ewenice!

We liked the play on words, not just the Ewe part, but the nice part too.

Because several of you suggested the winning name we put those people in a draw. And the winner is (drum roll) - Della Quick!






Della wins a Crafty Lady kit: Lori's own Celtic Heart Bag pattern, a skein of Galway yarn and a skein of Poems, plus the knitting needles, markers, and darning needle needed to make the bag.





















As the official model of the Crafty Lady store, Ewenice gets her clothes changed every now and then.










Currently Ewenice is modeling Berroco's Linsey, a beautiful cotton/linen worsted weight (4) blend that comes in variegateds and solids. We have twelve colors and the variegateds coordinate with the solids. Linsey is discontinued so once it's gone it's gone forever.

To see some of the colors better you can click on this link. Berroco Linsey.

We are clearing out our paint!

So as our gift to you we have paint on sale. 4 for $1.00.

Yes, you read that right.

Whatever we don't sell we'll be getting rid of to make room for other things.

So come on down and grab what you can.

Note: You need to buy in multiples of 4 or we charge you full price. So you see it's cheaper to buy 4 than to buy 1!

Last 4 Days!

Crafty Lady has an app.

Which means you can save big time on specials.

Just download the app and there's a coupon waiting there for you. DON'T TOUCH THE COUPON!

Instead bring it in and get HUGE savings on the special.

Four days left for the current special.

We have Montana DK a lovely variegated yarn that makes great sweaters and scarves.

And Regia Angora Merino, a  fingering weight yarn that makes the softest socks, hats and gloves you can imagine. It would also make an exquisite shawl. Your lace stitches would be well defined and what a nice thing to have on those cooler spring and summer evenings, or as a scarf in winter.

Christmas Hours and New Yarn

We have Christmas Hours.

More time to shop!

More time to shop for new yarn.

Guess what? We have new yarn!

Schachenmayr (say that three times real fast).

Schachenmayr has come out with Merino Extrafine Color 120 which is a DK weight and comes in fun patterns, and Merino Extrafine 85, an aran weight that comes in solid colors that match the 120. So you can make a beautiful solid color sweater out of the 85 and a matching vest or scarf with the funkier colors of 120!

Hint: If you click on the highlighted yarn it will take you to more info about it.

Regia Stadion Color

We also have red and white candy cane sock yarn. Or you could proudly wear the colors of Canada. Either way, you'll be all bright and cheery for the holidays.
