Dream in Color patterns and yarns will be 10% off during this trunk show (both in store and online)!
Friday 9/3 – Thursday 9/9: Schulana Kid Seta Trunk Show
On Friday, September 3rd, we’ll be debuting a Trunk Show for Schulana’s Kid Seta, a lace-weight mohair-silk blend that we’ve been carrying for a while, but have decided to greatly expand.
You’ll probably be as surprised as we were to learn that this luxurious yarn is identical to Rowan’s Kid Silk Haze. Same fiber content, same mill, same specifications. Literally, one ball gets the Rowan label and the one right next to it gets the Schulana label. It is soft, luscious and a delight to wear next to the skin. Light and airy, yet surprisingly warm.
We’ll be receiving our expanded shipment of the yarn then, too, and you’ll receive 10% off all Kid Seta purchased during the Trunk Show! We’ll also have some free patterns to inspire you, as well as a drawing for prizes.

Adagio TeaChef Outside the Teacup Contest
Adagio’s TeaChef is a community of people passionate about cooking and tea. More specifically, cooking with tea. Each month they select a tea flavor and invite you to submit your recipe and picture. Then the community votes on the most creative of recipes. The winner gets a $50 gift certificate to Adagio Teas.
Sisters of the Road knitting group
The Sisters of the Road knitting circle (which meets on Wednesdays at the Personalist Center) is looking for donations of anything knit-related in any condition. Clean out your stash, get rid of those needles you just don’t use anymore, share books you don’t have room for, and help enable someone else to catch our addiction! Anything you can donate will be used and appreciated. If you have any questions, you can email Marla Koch (midlifecrisistour2002@yahoo.com). We are collecting items at Twisted, so on your next trip over, drop off some of that extra stuff and make room for more.
Bear Mittens
We’ve been told that the AAF has all the bear mittens it can use for the moment. Thanks so much for all your hard work!
