NW Handspun YarnsOwner Nancy Bjerke's Great Grandfather owned three ranches in Wyoming during the 1920's. The picture shows he and his family bringing eight bands of sheep down from the Big Horn Mountains to the lowlands after the first autumn snow in 1922. Nancy's Grandfather, who was 10 years old at the time, said that there was always one sheep who hung around the camp where the men would feed her pancakes.

Hello Knitters, Spinners, and Weavers!

Welcome Spring and Summer! Even though we had a very mild winter, it was still winter! Now, with all the flowers blooming, it helps me see color all over again, inspires me for summer knitting. Although I say knitting, I’ve been doing more spinning and weaving these days. Spinning lace weight for the EZ Pi Shawl, and tapestry weaving. I’ve been knitting smaller projects, with cotton and cotton blends for you to take a look at in the shop.

We have a large selection of cotton and cotton blends for your summer knitting. Rowan’s Pure Life and Indigo yarns, Blue Sky Alpaca Organic Cottons, Green Mt. Spinnery Wool Cotton Blend, 100% Cotton Chinelle, Mercerized Cotton from Plymouth, and more. Summer time is perfect for knitting smaller projects (so you don’t get hot with a big projects on your lap!), like mittens, gloves, hats. Elizabeth Zimmerman suggests that knitting the Pi Shawl in July is a perfect travel project.

Each month this season we have something special in store for you:
