THANKSGIVING

We wish a magnificent Thanksgiving Day for all. Remember to give credit to the birds of the day!

Don't forget to feed the birds outside. They are as disappointed in the early snow as we are!

Safe travels!

Reception for Laurie Nowak's SERAPHIM FABRIC

Saturday, July 28, Laurie will be here presenting her collection of hand-dyed counted fabrics for our cross stitch customers. She has created a fabric just for TWIS ( The World In Stitches) and we will have an exclusive on it for 2 months. She will be bringing lots of fat eighths and fat quarters of other colors and representing different counts that you may purchase that day. You will also be able to see her entire line of colors in swatches for ordering purposes. Put on your thinking cap, pull out the patterns that you own that need fabric and come over  and have Laurie help you decide what might work magic for your stitching. She will be here from 11 until about 2 PM, or whenever she wears out! Let's keep her busy,

SENSORY MEMORY

I can't smell anything due to a nasty polyp who insists on spreading out on my smell center. Nonetheless, I swear I can smell these lilacs!

NEW YARNS from CASCADE!

Let's start with the most seductive yarn that arrived: SORATA! Just close your fingers around a hank and you too will be smitten. The composition is 70% Baby Llama and 30% silk. This fingering weight has exceptional yardage of 437 yards. The label expresses the gauge at 28 - 32  per 4 inches with needle sizes 1-3. $21

SARASOTA will be a popular one this spring at only $7.25 for 314 yards with a fiber content of 60% cotton and 40% acrylic. It is a DK meaning it will give you 5.5 inches per inch on a 5. This may be machine washed on cool and tumbled dry on low. $7.25

ULTRAPIMA FINE Peruvian Tones is a light sport with 273 yards per hank and a gauge of 24-26 across four inches using needles 3-4. This is all cotton so it may be machine washed and tumble dried if you insist on the latter. $12

My favorite is ROSLYN, a DK with 382 yards. This is a 65% Wool and 35% Silk blend with a charming quiet tweed effect. It will knit at 5.5 stitchers per inch on a 6 needle. This must be hand washed and dried flat. $16.00
