four crows farm

The new shop, The Cat and Crow, is getting to be more fun everyday, usually when something unexpected happens.  It might be a local llama farmer stopping by to see if we want yarn that they've had made (we do!), or a woman dropping off her gorgeous naturally dyed yarns.  

This week we got interesting and beautiful handmade baskets from Juliana Clausen, including a very clever design suggested by our good friend, Jo Winkler-Bley, that can be hung near your favorite knitting chair, and has a hole in the bottom through which your yarn can run.  

Our favorite new yarn might just be a bulky weight 60% alpaca, 40% merino yarn from Angel's Kiss.  It is soooo soft, lofty, and felts fabulously!

We also got a shipment of 'Winnifred's Washable', from Farmhouse Yarns, which is dyed with the usual expertise of Farmhouse Yarns in bright vibrant colors that would be perfect for baby items. It is 55% Merino, and 45% acrylic and feels like Merino;  she chose this yarn after comparing the environmental impact of making wool washable to the impact of acrylic manufacture. It costs $22.00 for 450 yards.  Come in and see, and touch!

On the day after Thanksgiving, we are having a 'shop and craft' event, where for $5.00, you can create a small gift or ornament by knitting, needle or wet felting,  or felting over soap.  

We will have something for everyone!
