Dear Cathy,
Summer is just a few weeks away, the kids will be out of school, and vacations will be in full swing. Easy take-along projects are prefect. How about a pair of socks using the new sock yarn from The Unique Sheep called Luxe. And don't forget those disclothes made from America's own Peaches & Creme from Pisgah Yarn. Currently, we carry this yarn only in the shop, if you would like to see it available on the website drop us an email and if we get enough interest we will add it.
