Here are some of the long-awaited photos from our Rowan Swarovski Soiree on November 13th! It was a fitting celebration of the new product line: existing luxury Rowan yarns paired with new Swarovski crystal bead sets, in exclusive Rowan knitting and crochet patterns.

We would like to give a huge shout-out to Rowan for donating three of the door prizes (complete Triangle Shawl kits), and Point Grey Village's very own Laura Jewitt Designs for donating a stunning pearl bracelet of $550 value as a door prize AND a pair of cultured pearl stud earrings for every swag bag! For the party-goers, these swag bags also included a "Knit One, Pearl Too" voucher for Laura Jewitt Designs' jewellry showroom at 4485 West 10th Avenue, just up the block from Urban Yarns. Laura is generously extending the same offer to all Urban Yarns customers:  

With any purchase of pearl jewelry, mention the code phrase "knit one, pearl too" to receive 50% off a second piece of equal or lesser value. Prices range from $25 to five digits, so there is something for everyone. Offer expires December 24, 2015. Thank you, Laura!

 A big thank you too to our Rowan rep, friend, and expert wine pourer Peter Dauossis, and to photographer Lon Gross of Shutter House Films, for their time and charm. We sourced the majority of our quality supplies from fellow Point Grey Village merchants: sparkling wine from Liberty Wine Merchants, orchids from Lovely Flower Design, eveningwear from Changes, hair and makeup by Eliane, twinkle lights from Home Hardware, and sparkly balloons from Kaboodles. Last but not least, thank you to our wonderful staff who knit and crocheted the sample garments you see, and our entire staff who make both of our stores magical every day.
