We are proud to introduce a new line of beautiful knitting bags and needle/hook organizers from della Q, a company that celebrates knitting while making a difference in the lives of Vietnamese women.

When you purchase a della Q bag from K2TOG, you are not only supporting your local yarn store. You are also supporting Vietnam Quilts, a "non-profit organization that trains low-income and rural Vietnamese women in the art of quilting, and provides them with a means to a steady income."

Spring is here and along with it we have some new products for the K2Tog community to get you ready for warmer weather knitting.

Organic Wool

As you can see, we just got in a new shipment of yarn! O-Wool from the Vermont Organic Fiber Company is new to our store and we are excited to share this wonderful fiber with you!

The K2TOG community values environmental consciousness. We do our best to operate and live in a way that is friendly to the earth, and that includes partnering with companies that share those values.

The new year starts here in the shop with an exciting field trip and fun new theme.

The weather is all over the place this time of year...sunny and hot, foggy and freezing, sunny and windy. Having lots of knitted items on hand to layer on and off as the temperature changes is just the ticket. At least that's the excuse I'm putting forth for having everything from a cotton tank top to an alpaca Einstein Coat on the needles at the same time.

Since September is our first official Cascade Yarns month in the shop, I took the challenge to use a Cascade yarn I hadn't before: Venezia, the chunky version. It's a lovely blend of merino and silk. It is also the perfect gauge for the Sweetheart Vest in Fall 07 Interweave Knits magazine. I was off. The pattern was easy to follow and the little bit of color-work kept me interested. Stop by the shop and see the results!
