Greetings!

 

 

Happy Holidays!  

 

All of us at Colors want to wish you and your family a happy and safe holiday season.    

 

We would like to thank all of you for sharing your love of fiber art with us at Colors.  The love and support you all have shown Colors is so appreciated.  The staff and I are looking forward to sharing your love of yarn in the new year. 

 

To start the year off, we have a full calendar of classes for January and February.  Based on some of the feedback we received, there is going to be classes on Ravelry, colorwork, Tunisian crochet, and much, much more.  During the first quarter, we are bringing in two new lines of yarns.  We are also planning a field trip to La Llama Farm in Apple Valley.

 

Don't forget The Village Claremont is holding a contest for a Village $100 gift certificate.  You simply enter by shopping in the Village and getting your receipts stamped by Colors or another participating store. 

 

See you at Colors,

 

Diana

The Dye Pot at La Llama Farm Fieldtrip 


One of our wonderful customers brought to our attention a fabulous opportunity to enjoy at day at the La Llama Farm.  Colors would love to help facilitate a group of us to go to the Llama Farm to:  

 Dye a Skein of Wool Yarn
 Fabulous Lunch
 Garden & Farm Tour
 Learn about Fiber & Hand spinning
There is a minimum of 20 people to go and it's a $50 fee for the tour, dying and lunch.  We are still working out the details, such as the date and time.  We are looking into late May to early June.  Once we have details, we will let you know.

Fresh Fiber Goodness  

 

We have a plethora of new yarns  and restock in the store. 

 

New from The Fibre Company: 

Acadia is an absolutely beautiful, completely original and custom designed 2-ply, Sport/DK weight yarn with a rustic look and soft hand. A subtle tweed effect created by the silk noil is combined with a heathered base and then overdyed in the duotones we are known for, creating incredible depth of color. 

 Organik is a beautiful, smoothly spun worsted weight single ply blend of organic merino, alpaca and silk. The unique blend of fibers are spun into a smooth yarn and then kettle dyed into subtle duotones. The smooth construction lends itself beautifully to cables, garments or color work.

Canopy Worsted is a light worsted weight 3-ply strong, soft, shiny and drapey yarn perfect for color work, lace or textured stitch patterns. The unique blend of fibers are spun into a smooth yarn and then kettle dyed, and the different way the fibers absorb the dye creates a beautiful depth of color with subtle heathered tones.  

Canopy Fingering is a fingering weight 3-ply strong, soft, shiny and drapey yarn perfect for color work, lace or textured stitch patterns. The unique blend of fibers are spun into a smooth yarn and then kettle dyed, and the different way the fibers absorb the dye creates a beautiful depth of color with subtle heathered tones.

Savannah is a beautiful and rustic spun 2-ply yarn with a crisp yet soft hand. The unique blend of fibers are spun and then kettle dyed, and the different way the fibers absorb the dye creates a beautiful depth of color with subtle heathered tones. Additionally, Savannah is spun and dyed in the U.S.A., and we are proud to play a smal role is supporting local textile mills here in Pennsylvania. 

Road to China Light is a 3-ply strong, soft, shiny and drapey yarn with a lot of body perfect for luxurious, soft and warm items. The unique blend of fibers are spun into a smooth yarn and then kettle dyed, and the different way the fibers absorb the dye creates a beautiful depth of color with subtle heathered tones.

 

Fresh new stock:

Berroco:  We have new colors in both the Lustra and Flicker. 

 

Rowan:  We have more heavenly balls of the Chunky Alpaca in time to sign up for the Cable Cowl class.  The Lima cubbies are full of rich, wonderful colors, pick up a few ball and the Purl Ridge Scarf pattern for a dreamy scarf. 

 

Frog Tree:  There are more color choices in both the Alpaca Sport Weight and Chunky yarn. 

 

Dream In Color:   Smooshy, a sock weight yarn, is now in with several new colors.

 

Mochi Mochi:  For all our Mochi Mochi fans, we have filled the cubbies of the Mini, Plus and Chunky Mochi with more colorways.
