If you’re anything like us, you cannot wait for tomorrow or maybe you’re taking a class today and have already started your 2009 Sheep & Wool experience.  Many of us Cloverhill folk are at the shop right now packing up and getting ready to head over to the fairgrounds to set up for tomorrow.  We can’t wait!  Before you enter a Sheep & Wool induced yarn and fleece coma, make sure you drop by our booth at two special times tomorrow (Saturday).  We’re hosting two book signing events!  

First is Pints & Purls by Karida Collins and Libby Bruce on Saturday May 2 from 12:00pm - 1:00 pm.  If you haven’t seen this great new book, be sure to stop by, buy it, and have it signed!  

The second book signing is Vintage Baby Knits by Kristin Rengren on Saturday May 2 from 2:00pm - 3:00pm.  If there are any babies in your life or about to be in your life, this book is a must have.  

We’re thrilled to be hosting these signing events tomorrow.  The best news of all is that once you’ve gotten your books signed, you can buy the yarn right away!  

See you tomorrow!

Introducing The Unique Sheep…

We’re very excited to bring you the beautiful colorways of Laura and Kelly at The Unique Sheep.  Here’s what they have to say about what they’re sending to you (through us) at Sheep and Wool.

The focus of our company right now, and the bulk of what we are sending you, is our Gradiance collection.  Basically we sell these colorways in sets of 4 or 6 skeins (depending on the yardage ordered- 4 for socks, 6 for shawls)and the colors transition over the set. So for example, the set may start at light green and end with dark green (as seen in the scarf picture attached). Or it may be more dramatic and start with red, transition into yellow and then end with green. This technique is stunning when used for shawls, but is equally effective for socks and scarves. And these smaller projects are a bit more approachable for most customers, so that’s what we have included the most of. The scarf kits come with step by step instructions on using the Gradiance sets, and we have sent along free sock patterns to go with the sock sets (if you run out, we have the pattern available to download from our website).  More about the Gradiance set can be found here: http://theuniquesheep.com/Colors/gradiance.htm We are also sending along single skeins for socks and some other fun kits- ranging from inexpensive coffee cozies to luxurious silk/merino shawl kits.

Aren’t those just yummy?  Good thing you only have to wait 5 more days until you can have it for yourself!

See you soon,
Risha
