  "And the three beautiful princesses lived happily ever after in their hand knitted sweaters by their mom/grammy," our own Grandmother of the Year, TERRY CAMMACK! Our Sunday Safari instructor, Terry, loves to knit for her daughter, Kelly, and her two adorable granddaughters, Kelsey (left) and Kierra (right), and knitted up these matching mommy-and-me cable yoked sweaters (mom Kelly's is understandably a bit hard to see). To knit up fun sweaters for your little princesses may we suggest the superwash options of: SWEET GEORGIA SUPERWASH MERINO, CASCADE ULTRA PIMA COTTON, CASCADE 220 SUPERWASH, BLUE SKY SKINNY COTTON, or even our newest addition to the store, CLAUDIA HAND PAINTED COMFORT COTTON in an assortment of pretty, handpainted color ways for spring, all here waiting for you at Woolwinders, your neighborhood yarn shop! Keep those knitting fingers flying, Terry! Their dolls need sweaters too, LOL!

  So. Much. Rain! Luckily for us, April showers bring us beautiful, stunning COTTONBALL, hand painted 100% cotton yarn from new local vendor CLAUDIA HAND PAINTED YARN! Our new shipment of HAND DYED COTTON hits the shelves at Woolwinders on Thursday, May 1st in  20 luscious color ways! And it gets even better: these new skeins of COTTONBALL are DOUBLE THE YARDAGE of their predecessors at a glorious 260 yds. per skein in a lovely worsted weight offering of 5 sts = 1" on US #8 needles. Now it's officially spring, so grab those needles and some beautiful new COTTONBALL yarn from Woolwinders, your neighborhood yarn shop!

  What a proud moment! One of my favorite sweater patterns is the CENTRAL PARK HOODIE which we have had as a model on display at the store for several months this past winter. And now it lives on and has been BEAUTIFULLY knitted by one of our favorite people, Thursday afternoon Safari Knitting Group class member, SUSAN BRAUNSTEIN! Susan knitted her CPH using NORO KUREYON yarn. WE watched Susan during her weekly Safari classes knitting away, frogging, cabling, measuring, and working her way to a flawless finished product that fits her like a dream. She couldn't buy a better fitting and one-of-a-kind sweater! My hardiest congratulations on a job well done, Susan! Now it's YOUR turn! Let us help you choose your next project at Woolwinders, your neighborhood yarn shop!  

  CONGRATULATIONS to LEIGH SNYDER! Leigh is the lucky winner of Woolwinders Yarn Shop's Metro Yarn Crawl Prize Drawing: a KARBONZ INTERCHANGEABLE NEEDLE KIT! Two things never go out of style in the knitting world, good knitters and good needles, and now Leigh can celebrate both! Thanks to everyone who participated in this year's annual Metro Yarn Crawl and for stopping by and visiting us at Woolwinders, your neighborhood yarn shop! We hope to see you again!

    REMINDER: Woolwinders will be CLOSED on FRIDAY, APRIL 25TH! Flo's Safari Lite classes WILL BE MEETING but the store will be closed to the public this Friday. Kindly please let Flo teach in peace and do not knock on the door to be let in, lol! We will greet you again with open arms on Saturday, April 26th! Thank you and knit on, everyone!

  Wishing everyone a very HAPPY EASTER from your friends at Woolwinders Yarn Shop!
