speaking of Art Yarns....

We received a big shipment from Artyarns yesterday, and boy are the goodies exciting! Here they are in order of excitement.

5. Yarn. You know it is a good shipment when the least exciting thing is new yarn. These new treats are delightful! We ordered new colors of the ever-popular hand dyed Cashmere and Beaded Silk. In addition we now have Glitter Silk and Glitter Silk Mohair. Both are perfect for quick holiday gifts that will be cherished for years to come.

4. Patterns. Speaking of quick gifts! We have many new patterns for Artyarns, and several of them make beautiful scarves using only one or two skeins of these luxurious fibers. Whatever your knitting taste, there is a pattern for it... tanks, jackets, scarves, shawls, hats--you name it! Also there are many techniques to choose from: lace, cables, modular knits, and crochet.

3. Kits. We now offer stunning kits to make two of Artyarns most attractive and versatile designs. These are high end kits containing the finest hand dyed yarns in quantities appropriate for each design as well as the pattern and other instructions needed to complete the design. By packaging the yarn in the quantities needed to complete the design, rather than full skeins, Artyarns is providing kits that make true luxury more affordable.

First we have a treat for crocheters, the Kaleidoscope Scarf. This design is crocheted in multicolored motifs using 11 shades of cashmere. You can create this design in either Pastel Tones or Jewel Tones

We also have a treat for the knitters among us, the Silk Mohair Shawl/Blanket. This design is knit in 10 shades of Silk Mohair and is available in 4 color ranges appropriate to any taste: Blues, Roses, Colors, and Naturals.


2. Sock yarn. This yarn is so good that it could not simply be lumped in with the other new yarns. This is sock yarn made of... Cashmere! This beautiful new sock yarn is 67% Cashmere, with 25% Wool, and 8% Nylon for strength and durability. The yarn construction s 2 plys of cashmere twisted with a single ply of superwash wool and nylon blend. This construction makes the yarn both durable and washable. I know. We have a hard time believing it too, but it is true.

1. Party! Okay. So I lied to you. The party didn't come in the box with the Artyarns, but it is coming right up on Sunday November 23rd from 11am to 1pm. Stop in to see the beautiful yarns and stick around for holiday gift inspiration.

fiber, food and friends.

what: Art Yarns Party

when: Sunday November 23, 2008. 11am-1pm

where: Knit + Stitch = Bliss, 4706 Bethesda Ave

hosted by the K+S=B Queen Bee, Lyn and our Art Yarns vendor, Rifka.

Everyone loves pretty little treats, and that is exactly what Art Yarns are! While we would love to pack our shelves with nothing but hand dyed cashmere and silk (with beads too!) we simply can't begin to offer the full range of stunning fibers the Art Yarns team has designed.

This party is an elegant solution to this dilemma--Rifka will bring the full range of Art Yarns into the shop so you can see every fiber and all of the colors in samples larger than a few strands stuck on a card. You can also touch all the delightful fuzzies and silkies, something you can never do on a computer screen! You can then place your order with confidence, knowing exactly what to expect when your special order arrives.

As a bonus, you will receive 10% off of your Art Yarns order if you order the day of the party!

There will also be patterns and books that match the yarns to provide inspiration for your projects. IN addition to Art Yarns, we will have holiday gift knitting samples in the shop to give you ideas for your gift list.

Add light refreshments and good company, and you have a fine way to spend a Sunday afternoon--bring your knitting needles and get into the spirit! We hope you will join us! Please call the shop so we can get a head count and provide an appropriate quantity of refreshments: 301-652-7194

Charity Event

Sunday February 24, 2008 Knit+Stitch=Bliss will be hosting a special event in the store to benefit the organization CHABHA (Children Affected by HIV/AIDS).

This organization works to provide relief to children in Africa impacted by HIV/AIDS. In part they accomplish this through handknit comfort dolls. Knitters in the USA knit the dolls and a portion of them are taken to Africa and distributed to children. Another portion are used as a part of the fundraising events that provide the organization with the money they need to help these kids.

So come out Sunday February 24th from Noon to 5pm to knit dolls with us and learn more about CHABHA and their work. If you cannot join us, feel free to visit their website and consider knitting some dolls on your own. Free pattern is provided under the "Dudaza Comfort Doll" link on the website. Scroll to the bottom of the page for 2 version plus the address to which completed dolls can be sent.
