Welcome to Dancing Ewe Yarns & Teas Small and portable are the keywords for summer knitting. And socks are the perfect solution. The new sock yarns are incredible, fun, and sooooo colorful. We have just added Pagewood Farms sock yarn. The colors of these hand-dyed yarns are vibrant and rich. And the fiber is equally tempting with Blue Face Leicester, Merino Wool, Bamboo, and Cashmere. WOW, Cashmere for socks, what could be better or softer?  Also, for your sock knitting pleasure, we have Lantern Moon Sox Stix in Ebony and Blondewood in all sizes. These double point sock knitting needles are so smooth your stitches will slip effortlessly from the needles. The pleasure is not without purpose. You will be amazed how quickly you can finish a pair of socks and be delighted with the results. As a new feature this month, we are posting information about Local Knitting Groups. Many of us enjoy practicing our craft in the company of others. And we at Dancing Ewe are frequently asked about local knitting, crochet, and spinning groups. We would like to invite all those that are part of a group to share their information and we would be happy to post it in our newsletter and on our website. Please email us, or drop by the shop to give us your information. |
