Happy Easter to all our knitting and fibre friends!Happy Easter to all our knitting and fibre friends!

I saw this post in theChronicle Herald about a new pattern that Shirl the Purl aka Shirley Scott designed to honour Evelyn Richardson of Shelbune County. https://www.saltwire.com//mitten-pattern-created-to-hono/ Evelyn Richardson was a fascinating lady who lived much of her life on Bon Portage Island as the wife and assistant to the Lightkeeper there. Her books are fascinating. We keep a Light is just one of them.

Yummy shipment of Handmaiden Casbah came to us today. Casbah is a soft and squishy blend of 80%merino, 10%nylon 10% cashmere. It is superwash so perfect to treat your feet to a pair of socks! #handmaidenyarns #casbah #handyedsockyarn #haveayarn #haveayarnmahonebay

We have just received a new shipment of #Ito from #noroyarn ! We have been restocked in the colours that @heathertunnah used for this #nightshiftshawl (see next 2 slides). And then there are two new colours (at least new to us - see the last 2 slides) for a total of nine colourways in stock. What would you make with Ito?

Fall has arrived in Mahone Bay so it’s time for some of our summer yarns to make room for the Christmas sock yarn (which is already on the way). Top: Hempathy (hemp/cotton/modal) Bottom Left: UltraPima Paints (handpainted Pima cotton)... Bottom Right: Cabot (Pima cotton/linen) in solids & multis ALL THREE ARE 35% OFF WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!

I just had to share this. Work socks are definitely a thing but I wouldn’t have been creative enough to knit for a dog (yet).

A box of goodies arrived this morning from #elegantlytwistedyarns. We have lots more Over the Rainbow now and to add to the excitement SPARKLE! Only 2 sparkle rainbows but several other tantalizing colours in sparkle. The photo does not do them justice so come in and see (squish) for yourself.

Fa la la la la! Trailhead Yarns is doing an Advent calendar this year. The inspiration is an asymmetrical rainbow shawl. You have a choice of naughty (darker) or nice (brighter) colours. They are only making a limited quantity so contact the store soon for more info and/or to pre-order your calendar.

New kits in the store from the UK. For beginners & more experienced needle felters. (Note that not all of the kits have arrived yet so there will be more animals joining us later.)

Do you want to ramp up your sock knitting but still knit a basic easy sock? This might be the answer! Just 2 colours of Drops Delight, stripe the leg and foot and change the main colour for cuff, heel and toe for your second sock. Voila! Funky easy socks.

If you haven’t knit Andrea Mowry’s Nightshift yet, this just may tempt you. Two skeins of Noro Ito and away you go and get stunning results. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/search#query=Nightshift

Knitting or crocheting dish cloths doesn’t have to be boring any more - we have LOTS of free patterns for a variety of dishcloths and oodles of dish cotton & colourful scrubby yarn to choose from.
