Paperless Receipts!
Want to save a tree while still being able to keep track of your receipts? Easy! We can now email or text your receipts! (and we're very glad of it, because our receipt printer is currently on the fritz - we can still print one for you, but it'll be on 8x11 paper with the regular printer.

Featured Yarn & Patterns
Catalina by Tahki is deceptively complex – while it appears to be one thickness on the ball, it creates thick-and-thin textural striping when knit. Details: 100% Mercerized Cotton, 131 yds, handwash, lay flat to dry. Gauge: 16 sts and 23 rows = 4” (10cm) on #6 (4mm) needles, measured on thick yarn section.

Pattern ideas for Catalina: The Atlantic City Shawl uses 4 balls of Catalina in two colors, the airy Cloud Cocoon Vest uses 4-7 balls. Both are $6 and available in-shop or on Ravelry.


Helpful Hint of the Week

Many of us were taught to cast on over two needles for a looser cast-on. We find that really awkward! Instead, we just a drastically bigger needle. One size up is usually not enough to make any real difference, but 3 or 4 sizes up works great!
