FRESH!
If you haven't been in the shop lately, we've been adding new yarns and books, to the point that we have had to add more shelving units!
We are now starting to carry Berroco yarns. To start out, we are carrying Ultra Alpaca, Peruvia and Comfort. They also have great pattern books (and some nice patterns available through their website too).
We've been keeping the delivery drivers busy the last couple of weeks. Yesterday's delivery was three big boxes of Malabrigo! We've freshened up our stock of Malabrigo Worsted and received a few more colorways in Malabrigo Silky Merino too. Our "Wall of Malabrigo" is looking good again!

Getting Caught Up!
We're finally getting caught up on unloading the boxes of great new stuff and have most out on the shelves - now it's time to get everything loaded up in the online shop.First up are some new Noro books. We have 3 new ones in so far this season - Jane Ellison's Noro Family, Noro Volume 24 and Jenny Watson Designs Catwalk.
We also have 2 new books from Debbie Bliss: Rialto Classics (which uses the Debbie Bliss Rialto yarns) and Winter Essentials (using her Cashmerino yarns, Luxury Tweed, Alpaca Silk and more). Ella Rae has put out a great book, Book 12, which features great sweaters and cardigans for the Junior sizes - ages 5 to 12 years. All the patterns in this book use worsted weight yarns.

Noro Yuzen
We're finally making some headway on the boxes and boxes of new yarn and books arriving! We've got lots out on the shelves already and are starting to put some of the yarns and books in the online section.One of the new fall yarns from Noro is Yuzen. This is a DK weight yarn, with a blend of wool, silk and mohair. Each 50 gram hank has approximately 121 yards. As with all Noro yarns, the striping that you get is fantastic, and this one feels soft to the touch too. There is great pattern support in the new fall Noro books that we have in, but will work great with any dk weight pattern. I can definitely see some fingerless gloves and a matching scarf out of this.

Spinning Fridays

Still Buried!
Yep - still buried in boxes here!
We've got orders in from Berroco (Ultra Alpaca, Peruvia, Comfort), Debbie Bliss (Como, Rialto DK, more colors of Cashmerino Aran, more colors of Luxury Tweed), Noro (Kureyon, and LOTS of books!), Araucania (Aysen, Nature Wool, Ranco and Ranco Multi), and Karabella this week. We've got a good amount out on the shelves but not in the online shop yet. I'll post as things are online for you all.....
Debbie Bliss has come out with a Super Bulky yarn called Como. This one knits up at 2.5 stitches per inch on a US #15 needle so if you are in need of some instant knitting gratification, this is it! A nice blend of 90% Merino Wool and 10% Cashmere makes it super soft too. There's a book for this yarn on its way also.

Boxes, Boxes and more Boxes......
....and you know what that means - Fall orders are starting to arrive!
Right now we've unpacked lots of new Regia sock yarn. Our selection of sock yarn continues to grow (we've even had to add another shelving unit for sock yarn!), so make sure you check it out next time you're in.
For the spinners out there, we've received more Frabjous Fiber braids in both the Merino and BFL - lots of colorways to choose from. We also just unpacked and shelved fiber from Ashland Bay! We have Merino, Merino/Tussah Silk, and Colonial top in a bunch of colorways and 100% Cashmere in cream and brown.
There's so much more to come so be sure to keep checking back!
We're working hard on getting things unpacked and out on the shelves and uploaded to our online store for our out-of-town customers.

Friday Night Knit Nite
Don't forget - this Friday is Friday Night Knit Nite from 6 - 8 pm. This month we are doing a pot luck to kick off the Fall season. If you have a favorite dish to share, please let me know what you can bring (although food isn't mandatory!).
Please RSVP if you are planning on attending by sending me an email to pam@knitterspalette.com.
P.S.: Looks like we might be having a full house for Friday Night Knit Nite - I'm getting a little concerned that we might not have enough chairs for everyone - if you have a chair that you can bring along, that would be great!
