Snuggly Bunny

New in the shop: Sirdar’s Snuggly Bunny yarn! This fluffy yarn comes in a range of beautiful pastel colors and is perfect for quick, simple stitches. It’s also great to use for trims! There are many adorable baby patterns available, but we also love it in this cozy cowl.

This yarn feels so cuddly and wonderful, you may to make cowls in multiple colors! Or perhaps move on to a faux fur pillow… The yarn is machine washable, so snuggle away!
 

 
Happy knitting!


P.S. Our shop hours are sometimes shortened while Lauren cares for Sofia, and due to winter road conditions, so please remember to check the website or call ahead for our most up-to-date schedule. Thank you!

Bachi Shawl

The new oversized yarn balls from Noro are perfect for these quick, bulky shawls! Using just two balls, this asymmetrical pattern knits up quickly on size 13 US needles. And we love the vibrant color options. Wrap yourself up in color and warmth with a design that’s fun to knit and fun to wear!
