So do you think they will put a limit on yarn now like there is on spray paint?

The End of "The Skein"

The Tangled Skein will be closing on May 7. It was a very difficult decision, but we decided that although we still love knitting with everyone, we can do that without the crazy schedules. Don't fret. We will get together and we can keep up through the blog, facebook, Ravelry, etc. Come in and celebrate with us over the next few weeks. Lori, Sally, and Sarah

Woolen coffin?

I am on several email lists so there have been some really odd things that have passed through my inbox....   this one I just had to share.

From Time:    "To help it survive — and thrive — in Britain's shrinking textile industry, Hainsworth, a 225-year-old, family-run wool mill in West Yorkshire, England, has developed niche uses for wool. Its product range includes the uniforms worn by the Royal Guards at Buckingham Palace, the felt lining inside Steinway pianos and the interior headlining used in Rolls-Royce and Bentley automobiles. But it is one of Hainsworth's most recent, and most unique, new products that's making the company's competitors look sheepish: woolen coffins."

Julie's adorable finished object

Hi ladies!

I bought the yarn and pattern for this outfit at the Tangled Skein while I was home in St. Peter for the summer. 

Back in NJ, I ran out of yarn for the hat, so I added the extra stripes. (It's just supposed to be green.) I'm hoping to use the pants for "longies" when I start cloth diapering.

Thanks for selling great yarn! This is the first project I've done from a pattern. Lucia is so warm!

Good-bye Nadine

We had great fun on Friday wishing Nadine well, but many of us were teary eyed as well. She left on the 15th for Washington state with good memories and a full stash, thanks to friends and co-workers.

Good Luck Nadine!!!
