We have also received our first shipment of Be Sweet. This company is based in South Africa and is doing amazing things to help women. We have the Magic Ball yarn in many colors. This can make a fun and unique scarf.

We have also gotten several sock yarns in. New colorways from Lorna's Laces and Claudia's Handpaint. We now have Tofutsies yarn in many different colors. More is on the way too! To make your sock knitting more enjoyable we have also gotten in the Sox Stix from Lantern Moon.
