A Makeover for Yarns on First!

August 2012
We are extremely excited to announce that we are giving Yarns on First a facelift! After almost a decade in business, it is time for some freshening up! 
We will be closed from Sunday, August 26th through September 3rd , re-opening on Tuesday, September 4th with our regular store hours. 
 
 

Madelinetosh Shipment! 

We are huge Madtosh fans around here and were just thrilled when 2 big boxes arrived chocked full of her gorgeous yarn, just in time for some fall projects. We received over 20 different colorways of the fantastic worsted weight Vintage line. Tosh Vintage is a superwash merino, with a hearty 200 yrds per skein. It is very soft and squishy, while maintaining great stitch definition. We love if for sweaters, blankets, accesories etc. Perfect for a small project like the Poet Society Tam or a larger project like the lovely Tea Leaves Cardigan. We're excited to get started on a Storyteller Hoodie, a new pattern for us here at Yarns on First!
