Classic Elite Trunk Show and Sale

Classic Elite Pattern Samples are around the shop now till the end of the month to inspire your knitting projects.  These beautifully crafted pieces are in CEY unique quality yarns such as the Firefly Linen/viscose blend in the pale peach Smocked Pull Over above from the Picnic pattern collection. The tomato red Leaf Yoke Pullover visible below is knit up in Premiere a just luscious Pima Cotton/Tencel blend.  The pattern is in Summer Book 2.

This adorable Center Cable Tee from the Heron Island Booklet, just glows in Cotton Bamboo.  The combination of the mini cable and sweet lacey yarnover stitches create an extremely flattering shape.  I know, I tried it on. Actually I tried them all on and they are all designed to glide over those little spots that none of us want to acknowledge!

Here's another view of the FireFly Pullover with the FireFly Scarf,

Another great CEY Summer Yarn is Sprout, a 100% Organic Cotton Chunky yarn that is not only great in the Basketweave Blanket (free pattern on the CEY website)

 but also is great for little sweaters like the Sprout Baby Tunic (also free on the CEY website) and big girl sweaters too.

 So I mentioned a SALE up there didn't I?  Yes indeedy.  You will get 15% off on both the pattern book and sweater quantities on these or any other CEY yarn and pattern sweater quantities combination from now till the end of the month.  Lots and Lots of colors to choose from.  Hurry in cause after this month, they may be gone to make room for all the new things coming in.

Local Yarn Store Now Open in Historic Elizabethtown, Kentucky

The Elizabethtown location of Blueball Mountain Spindle and Needleworks has officially opened at 29 Public Square . The location in the historic district of one of Kentucky's oldest town is convenient and there is always something happening. I was lucky to find this little pocket of a shop right in the center of the ...center of the town square. There is an excellent public and free parking in the back leading to the back door and one hour parking in the front.

But the best news is the expanded inventory that I am now able to carry at this location. In addition to the spinning tools and supplies from Ashford and the Shetland Wool rovings, fleeces and custom blended LunaLocaBatts and my own Loqueria Art Yarns, I now carry an array of yarns from some of the best yarn producers around. Selections from regional Alpaca growers, USA based Mountain Colors (to dye for!), 

 

New England based Classic Elite Yarns including Fresco, Sprout, Firefly and Portland Tweed
