Well we are in the final countdown to Christmas. The halls and decked, the eggnog chilled and sugar cookies cooling! It wouldn’t be the holidays without some last minute shopping and we’ve got the perfect suggestions!

The perfect last minute sale for last minute shoppers!

We just received in the store some beautiful new Plymouth yarns… among the new yarns are DK Super wash, Homestead, and Forever Sock. Plus, we have some freshly dyed Baby Llama Glow that’s ready to fill your Christmas stockings. Last but not least, some lovely merino / tencel sock sock weight yarn is here and it’s perfect for shawl knitting.

The Brown Sheep delivery arrived just in time for those last minute gifts! Choose from Bulky, Lanaloft, or Lamb’s Pride guess what? It’s on sale!

While you’re here – take advantage of our 15 percent off sale and get even more bang for your buck! All Plymouth yarns and Alaskan Yarn Co yarns are 15% off.

I can’t imagine a world where you wouldn’t want to give or get yarn for Christmas but just in case consider some of these as great last minute gifts or stocking stuffers:

  • Shawl Pins
  • Buttons
  • Books
  • Roving
  • Notion Bags
  • Project Bags
  • Wool Wash
  • Patterns
  • Needles
  • Stitch markers
  • Row Counters
  • Mini skeins (I told you I couldn’t imagine not giving or getting yarn)

Know a beginning knitter? Instead of giving an empty project bag – why not give a bag filled with a skein of yarn, needles and easy pattern? Finish it off with a row counter, stitch markers and a needle for weaving in those pesky ends.
