Reports Reviews and What is new for Spring in the world of yarn

The winter TNNA (National Needle Art) show has ended. I took classes and was able to see all the new items, yarn and patterns available for Spring and Summer and I will be sharing information and new arrivals as quickly as I am able to get things sorted and unpacked.

If you haven’t tired Tunisian Crochet because you thought it was only for blankets you will be very surprised. Several new books are available with easy and interesting patterns. I snagged a preview copy of Sheryl Theis latest book "Tunisian Crochet Encore" and I have already started to make the poncho on page 31 the book will be available in March
