The holidays are upon us!  Dancing Ewe Yarns & Teas is here to help with all your holiday projects and gifts.  Come in and see what great Christmas gift ideas we have for all your friends and family.

 

There is still time to make those special hand-knit gifts for your loved ones!  We have quick knit patterns for scarves, hats, hand warmers, mittens, and more.  Make this year extra special with a hand made gift from the heart.

 

These fingerless mitts will make a wonderful gift.  They are designed to wear over gloves or while reading or knitting.  The yarn is a wonderful 50% angora 50% merino blend - very luxurious, and only $15 to make the pair!  Plus the pattern is FREE when you purchase the yarn for the project.  This would be a great gift for a knitter to make a set for his or herself.

 

If friends and family are wondering what gift to get for you, send them to the Dancing Ewe!  We can help knitters and non-knitters alike select a gift that will be loved this holiday season.  Plus, customers (like you!) can sign up for our FREE Holiday Wish List.  We will keep track of those gift items you would love to receive, and friends can select items from you list in secret, knowing you'll absolutely love it.

 

Remember, Dancing Ewe is on Ravelry!  Come join our group, the "Dancing Ewes," and enjoy all the wonderful features Ravelry has to offer.

 

We hope you holiday is bright and merry!

Happy knitting!
