| Knitting for Our Children |
| | Just a reminder of one of our community projects this year, Knitting for Our Children. We are collecting crocheted and knitted items to distribute to families in the county. Hats, scarves,
mittens - you get the idea. Whatever you choose
to create, label it for fiber content and care.
We will take donations until the end of November, actually the
sooner the better. And let me add that
we will also happily accept items for the children's older sisters, brothers,
and parents. |

New Goodies
|
One of the wonderful things of owning a yarn shoppe is the ability to stock the shoppe with the items you love. And here are some of what I love, along with descriptions by their suppliers.
|
Bee Bar
These include Bee Bars tins in different scents. I bought one several years ago and after carefully rationing it, I ran out. Which was the impetus to stocking it at the shoppe.
Our signature product, the natural Bee Bar, offers soothing
relief to seriously dry skin. Ideal for daily use, our
distinctive hand and body lotion bar contains a unique
blend of Shea Butter and other natural oils and emollients
to moisturize and relieve dry skin, hands, elbows and feet.
Attractively wrapped and presented in a beautiful reusable
tin, our Bee Bar is a customer favorite.
Available in two sizes in your choice of Vanilla, Lavender
or Natural Unscented.
Ingredients: Sweet Almond Oil, Shea Butter, Beeswax, Jojoba
Oil, Lanolin, Cocoa Butter, Vitamin E, Essential Oils and
Fragrance.
Bee Bar cream
The Vanilla Bee BarŪ is now available in a
thick, ultra-rich, creamy-smoothe hand and body lotion. Packaged in a
stylish tube that fits easily into pockets and purses, you can enjoy
effective, natural relief and creamy moisture at home or on the go!
Rich in Shea Butter and other natural emmolients, this vanilla-scented
cream is a divine treat for the senses! Small size is 1.69 fl.oz.
Includes Shea Butter, Royal Jelly, Aloe, Sweet Almond Oil, and Vitamin
E. Paraben free. Never tested on animals, over 99% natural!
Bee Bar lip butter in a tube and in a tin.
Infused with Anti-Aging Pomegranate
seed oil, these rich Lip Butters soothe
and soften on contact. Pomegranate
seed oil is also an effective anti-oxidant.
Replenishing and conditioning Shea
butter and Kukui nut oil are high
quality healers for dry, cracked lips.

our refreshing flavors.

Nancy's Knit Knacks
Perfect Notion Case
I love, love this case. Saw something similar to it on Ravelry and finally found a supplier.
It is a sturdy little case that comes in 3 different
colors (blue, green, and pink) and 2 styles (solid color and sparkles).
It measures 3-1/4" tall by 2-1/4" wide by 1-1/4"
thick.
It contains 6 small compartments:
3 small (1" x 1" x 1/2")
2 medium sized (1-1/2" x 1" x 1/2")
1 large (3-1/4" x 2" x 1/2")
The two main hinges are made from metal. The small
see-thru lids are fabricated in such a way that they will not easily
break. We have subjected this design to months/years of testing (long
before we decided to market it) and we know as a result that it is a
tough little case that holds everything that you need to carry.
Row Counter and Row Counter Plus

We have also stocked up on Lamb's Pride Worsted and Bulky.
I am in the process of knitting up samples of all of our felting wools in white and cream and should have the "befores" and "afters" for you within a week.
If you are looking for white angora for Santa's beard, check with us this coming Friday. We should have a large supply of it from Skacel. |
