Welcome to the premiere issue of Lillie's Yarns Newsletter. Our newsletter is so new it doesn't have a name. A blog seems an appropriate place to park a newsletter. Hopefully, we'll be able to have a free pattern and some photos with each edition, which should appear every 6 to 8 weeks. Hopefully.
Please join us as we welcome the arrival of autumn and yarns of the season. To help you prepare for all your wintertime knitting projects Lillie's Yarns is having a Fall Fiesta Sale Thursday 10/01/2009 through Saturday 10/03/2009. Yarns will be discounted 10% to 50%. Some yarns are clearance and reduced 65%. Special order yarns are excluded from the sale.
Plymouth, Fiber Trends, Knitting Pure and Simple, and Noni patterns will be reduced 15%.
We're planning Saturday Workshops throughout October and November. Please send an email or call the shop to reserve you seat. Lilliesyarns@Gmail.com or 215-258-1259.
Here are two of the workshops:
Workshop #1 - Knitting with Beads - This workshop provides you an opportunity to knit with beads. We're knitting a necklace that will go well with casual clothing, business clothes or something more formal. Once you master the techniques you'll be able to knit a necklace in an evening. Bring a pair of straight US# 3 knitting needles and your imagination. We'll provide the know-how, beads, and yarn. Fee $10.00
Saturday October 17, 2009 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM or 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM.
Workshop #2 - Needle Felting - Learn to decorate your felted purses, totes, and holiday stockings with needle felted designs. We'll provide the roving you'll supply the imagination. You'll need a felting tool, which you can purchase at Lillie's Yarns at 10% discount. Fee $15.00
Saturday October 24, 2009 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Workshop #3 - Clapotis - Learn to knit this fabulously popular shawl/scarf by knitwear designer Kate Gilbert. You'll need a ball of worsted weight yarn and a pair of US#7 knitting needles. A date for this workshop hasn't been set yet. It will be held on a Saturday in late October or a Saturday in November. Let us know if you are interested.
