We've added Huasco Chunky and Worsted to our line up! Huasco DK has been on our shelves for some time, but we decided that we just loved the heavier weights too much not to have them, too! It is so hard to show in a picture how luscious these hand-dyed yarns are. The tonal colors are rich and deep, and the wool is bouncy, bouncy, bouncy! Our very own Dashiemouse has designed a beautiful hat pattern for the worsted weight yarn - Left Stranded. It's meant to be a gentle introduction to stranded colorwork in knitting. Remember that if you're feeling doubtful about your color choices, you can always ask us to take a picture of a few yarns together...
Dear friends, We were saddened to hear that Schulana was going out of business. Everyone here at Skein Shop loves their yarns, and the thought of not being able to get them any more was heartbreaking. In our distress, we did the only logical thing we could think of and bought up a LOT of Schulana. We have Lanalpaco, Kid Seta, and Merino Cotton 135 in every color we could get our hands on. We're putting some in our stashes for a rainy day, and we wanted you to be able to, too! All the Schulana is marked down more than 25%, so start dreaming up projects!

Skein Shop is thrilled to announce a partnership with Cincinnati ceramicist, Carly Leon! Carly creates amazing, hand-crafted pieces that are both highly functional and extremely beautiful. She has agreed to make some yarn bowls for us to share with you, and we could not be more pleased. Her bowls are each a unique work of art from the shape of the bowl itself to the decorative glazing. If you have been looking for the ultimate accent to your crafting area, one of these bowls is the perfect thing. We love using ours around the shop, and we hope you will, too. Carly also accepts custom orders for specific bowl shapes, sizes, and colors. If you would like to request...

Long Line. Wet Spun. Linen.
Euroflax is synonymous with high-quality linen. It is simply unparalleled when it comes to consistency, durability, and beauty. Skein Shop is pleased to announce that both 100g skeins of sport weight and 100g cones of lace weight are now in stock. This yarn is ideal for lightweight garments, long-lasting home goods, and lovely weaving.
It has been featured quite heavily on the Mason-Dixon Knitting blog this week - there is a contest to win several skeins and a gorgeous pattern (open through Saturday 12 March 2016), a suggestion to knit fast-drying dishcloths with it, and an update on how years-old items made from this yarn are holding up.
