Just when you thought your sock yarn bins were filled to the brim, we've got more!
New colors of Trekking - one of my all-time favorite sock yarns. Tightly spun, great color gradations and fun color palettes.
And new colors of Opal - these are the new Kaethe Kruse collection, which is inspired by a German doll maker. Nice color variations here!
You may have noticed the display immediately off to your right as you enter the store - the Little Experience.
These are wonderful kits for young people and feature a variety of craft projects. These will be excellent gift choices or a nice thing to have around the house or cabin for a rainy day activity.
Each kit has everything needed to make the project and the finished product is something very cute. Another possibility for your holiday shopping!
New needlepoint fiber!
It's called Planet Earth and it's 100% silk - stitches on 13-count canvas and it is reported to be very durable and doesn't pill. It looks like yummy silk - and we carry a full range of colors (it's just that the reds photography best!).
This new selection adds to our already vast array of silks and silk blends - you want to stitch with silk or silk blended with wool - we have choices!
This gorgeous organic merino, dyed with only vegetable dyes, from Swan's Island was reviewed today. Learn more about this very special product at Knitter's Review.

Sorry - no black and orange extravaganza with black cats and pumpkins.
But - how about our overstuffed display of bulky alpaca? Fast and soft knitting - and really warm!
Today is the last chance for Kiki's Hats - we'll give you yarn to knit a hat - bring it back by next week and we'll include it in our donation to the Minneapolis public schools. Join us at 3 today for knitting - Urban Knitters will be there too!
And the Artists Collection Trunk Show arrived early - check out these fantastic canvases, all at 15% off.
These great-looking hats are only the very tip of the enormous pile of hats we have collected already for our Kiki's Hats campaign.
Remember, we'll give you the yarn and pattern, you bring back a hat. We'll donate them to needy children via the Minneapolis public schools.
You still have time!!
While we usually share new products and events here, today we are saddened to note the passing of a creative force and knitting friend. Ann Swanson was half of the design team of Two Old Bags and she died last week after a long battle with cancer.
Two Old Bags was the partnership of Ann and Katie Nagourney - their design team was one of the first to provide us with felting patterns. Hundreds of knitters tried their hand at felting with their designs - especially the "Lucy Bag".
Ann lived just down the road in Rochester, Minnesota and often visited the Twin Cities - she was always a welcome visitor to Needlework Unlimited and we will miss her.
