We've got some exciting new fabrics in the quilt department that we thought we should share. 

We've had lots of customers asking and we finally have Fireside fabric! This cozy polyester fabric is great for quilt backings as it is soft and cozy but doesn't stretch like minkee does!

Casting off is a very important knitting skill to have. In this video Myles shows you one of his favorite ways to cast off that will give you a very pretty finished product.

Lining is often an afterthought. After spending time choosing the perfect fabric some people rush through choosing the lining. The fact is that the lining that you choose will change how the garment performs. The following information will help you choose the optimal fibre type for your garment’s best performance.

100% Silk

If you’re new to knitting, you may find the idea of making a sweater a little overwhelming and it certainly can be.  Why not perfect your new skills on smaller, quicker, easier projects?  Finishing a project will give you a great feeling of satisfaction and will help increase your confidence to move on to more time consuming or complicated projects.  Many of these can be made in a single evening. 

Even though Christmas is over a month away, it won’t be long before it is here! This year I have made it a goal to try and make gifts for everyone on my list. I thought I would share a few of the easy-to-sew projects that I plan to make to inspire you with your Christmas project sewing!

Cuffed Pillowcases

In this video Myles shows how to do a long-tail cast-on. In order to do this cast-on you need to make sure to have at least 4 times the finished width of your project in yarn length to have enough to create your stitches.

We've received lots of new and exciting quilt groups here at the store so thought we would give a sneak peek of some of them!

Here are some of the pieces from Tula Pink's new group Slow & Steady that we have in stock. The group is a combination of teals, purples, blues and of course pinks. They are some large scale prints as well as smaller repeats such as dots or diamonds.
