The Yarn Train has arrived...

...and with it, Malabrigo Chunky, Lace, Sock and Silky, plus Araucania Ranco, Dream in Color Classy, more Silk Garden and Silk Garden Sock. Come see, quick! They are flying off the shelves!

We're closed this weekend.

Because of the difficulties finding parking during the Mill Creek Festival, the shop will be closed on Saturday, July 18 and Sunday, July 19. Come see us regular hours on Monday!

And, don't forget to visit the first-ever Stitch-in this Friday night, July 17, from 6-8pm. All you need to bring is yourself, a friend and your stitchin'! See you there.

This week at Main Street

Yarn is comin'! Can you say MALABRIGO? CLASSY? RANCO? The price tags are printed and ready to stick on the skeins, so we can get all these beautiful yarns on the shelves post-haste!

In other news, Tuesday, July 14th is Spin-in night - come spin yourself or spin vicariously (knitters can horn in, too). Friday, July 17th is Stitch-in night - our first ever at Main Street. This is a time for knitters and crocheters to gather for friendship, shopping (10% off) and knitting (of course). We know it's the height of vacation time, but if you're around, come hang out with us.

Both the Spin-in and Stitch-in are from 6-8pm - see you there!

Happy 4th of July!

Can you believe it's July already? Maybe it's working in a new yarn shop that has made the past few months fly by - or maybe it's (gasp!) my age, but I can't believe we're this far into the summer already. If you're looking for a cool spot to knit, our shop is air conditioned and we have yarn and would love company, so come on in.

While you're in here, check out the new Smooshy sock yarn colors we got and the cute little baby sweater Deb knitted out of Pagewood Farm sock yarn. Some of the one skein books on the market are perfect places to find patterns other than socks for some of these beautiful yarns.

We're closing the shop on Saturday for the 4th of July holiday, but we'll be open regular hours on Sunday in case you run out of yarn while picnicking, lying by the pool or watching fireworks. See you then!

Mystery KAL Wrap-up Tomorrow

Many of you have been enjoying our spring Mystery KAL - that's Knit-along in plain English. Sue Falcone has done a great job of putting together clues so that participants can knit their item and be surprised by what it turns out to be! Friday night, June 26 from 7-9, you can all come and see what the mystery was and vote for your favorite one. We'll have treats and lots of ooohs and ahhhs over the finished (and not-so-finished) mystery items. See you there!

What are you knitting?

Yes, it's summer - but we're still knitting - are you?

Joni is knitting Knitspot's Papaver socks out of Malabrigo Sock - a yarn we'll be getting later this summer. And she's also knitting Knitspot's Totally Autumn throw (free pattern on Knitty) from Dream in Color Classy, which should be arriving in the shop any day now!

Kim is knitting an adorable baby sweater hopping with bunnies, from Zara yarn.

Linda is working on a gorgeous cabled vest from Donegal Tweed by Tahki.

Debrah has not had time to knit - because she has a BRAND, NEW GRANDDAUGHTER! Emmeline Jean was born this past Monday to Debrah's daughter Andrea and her husband Paul. Congrats, everyone! (She's beautiful!)

Today is WWKIP Day!

What will knitters do today? Why, KNIT in PUBLIC, of course! Weather permitting, Main Street Yarn invites you all to enjoy the space outside our shop between the hours of noon and 3pm to show the community of Mill Creek that you are proud to knit in public. We'll have sweet treats to share, so bring your chair and your latest knitting project and show the world your stitches. If you have stash or needles you'd like to swap, bring them along and make your swapping wished known. Remember...might as well face it, we're addicted to yarn - so join us!

WWKIP Day
Noon to 3pm
(In case of rain, the event will be cancelled)
