The More Things Change... ...the more they stay the same! As most of you know, the biggest change is that So Much Yarn has a new owner. I am Betty Clune, and I am thrilled to be watching my long-time dream come true. I became official owner of the shop on April 1, 2011, when the stars aligned and So Much Yarn was ready for a new owner. So while the ownership may have changed, our commitment to expert, friendly service and fabulous products will stay the same. More good news is that our great staff is staying on, so you will see familiar, smiling faces whenever you walk in the door!
Another way change can be wonderful is that it is an opportunity to find new and fabulous yarns! By request and now in stock, we have added Berroco “Comfort Worsted” to our collection of the Comfort line. We have long carried Comfort Chunky & DK, so now the gauge range is complete. If you’ve never tried these amazing 100% acrylic yarns, they are the best value in town and are perfect for blankets, baby garments, and anything you need to be totally washable. Our next new arrival is Berroco “Ultra Alpaca Tonals.” This is the same fiber and yardage as the Ultra Alpaca, but with the added surprise of tonal (monochromatic) color change. Not stripes, not variegated….just a gentle “pooling” of the colors. Come see our brand new Crocheted Slouchy Beanie using this yarn and you’ll see for yourself. By popular demand, we also now stock the complete range of sizes in the Addi Lace needles!!! These are not quite as slippery as the Addi Turbo, but are most well known for the very pointy tips and softer cord. If you’ve never tried them, you’re in for a treat. And now we come to returning favorites! On order and on the way as we speak: Noro “Kureyon” and “Silk Garden.” Yes, also by popular demand, LOTS more Malabrigo! Friday “Sit ’n Knit & Crochet” Begins Beginning on Friday, June 3rd, we invite you to join us at So Much Yarn every Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon for our new Free Sit ‘n Knit & Crochet. This is not a class—it is simply a time to relax with old friends and make new ones as you progress on your current knit or crochet project. It’s a great way to wind down after a busy week and get ready for the weekend. Thursday Charity Knitting Circle
The Pike Place Market Foundation provides services to low-income residents of downtown Seattle through a Medical Clinic, a Senior Center, Food Bank, and Preschool. All of this is in our own “back yard.” You can support these Market organizations by joining our Charity Knitting Circle to knit hats, mittens, scarves, lap blankets, and shawls for local folks in need. We meet every Thursday from 10:30-12:30. We have a stash of donated yarns to use, or we’ll give you 10% off your charity knitting purchase. If you cannot join us on Thursdays due to jobs or other obligations, we still welcome your knitted contributions. Destination Yarn: LYS Tour 2011 LYS stands for “Local Yarn Shop” and this little “shop hop” gets better every year! The 2011 event will be held on May 19th-22nd. That’s right, it’s four days long to give you plenty of time to reach all those wonderful destinations. This is a chance for you yarn enthusiasts to check out shops that are perhaps a bit out of the way, as well as your local favorites. Each shop will be featuring a “one-skein” project pattern that weekend. The pattern is free to Tour participants and the associated yarn is 10% off. There is no fee to participate….you simply pick up a passport from participating shops and let the adventures begin. You will receive a stamp on your passport at each shop you visit. If you visit every shop during the weekend, your passport will be entered into a drawing for a very special grand prize. In addition, each shop will have a drawing each day for a prize with a retail value of $50! That means even if you know you can’t make it to all the shops, you have a chance to win a wonderful prize at any shop you do visit. There is nothing to lose! Get all the details on the official website: lystour.com. Thank you for your support.
