Grey Heron Natural Designs Gets Out of Hot Water --- press release!!



Grey Heron Natural Designs Gets Out of Hot Water

Karen Farmilo had a nasty surprise when she unlocked her yarn shop, Grey Heron at 66 Pine St. in Collingwood, on Wednesday, June 26th.  
Her stock of yarns - basics to hand dyed luxury was a sodden mess due to a leaky water tank in a rental apartment above her store. 
The mushy ceiling tiles, soggy carpeting, warped furniture and ruined yarn have all been removed and space is now in rebuild mode. 
Farmilo is busy calling suppliers so that she can restock the Grey Heron new shelves without too much delay.

There is still a lot of paperwork and re-organizing left to do but Farmilo is confident that she can have her store open again before the August long weekend - at her newly renovated space in the "Market" building @ 65 Simcoe Street Collingwood. 


entrance @ 65 Simcoe St, Collingwood









You can enter through the front double doors and find Grey Heron located at the first door on the left. You may also enter Grey Heron from their St. Marie St patio, to the left of the double door front entrance. 

Her new space is perfect for a yarn shop - bright, cheerful, lots of windows and a BIG table for our classes, workshops and Thursday drop in group.

More details will emerge over the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned... 

In the mean time, our Thursday drop will be held at Heavenly Sweets Cafe 48 Pine St, the usual time 1 - 4

Blocking 220 Superwash

We carry over 50 colours of 220 SW. It's fabulous for children's clothing, baby blankets and any garment you want to have machine washable!!    Cascade Yarns presents: Carly's Helpful Yarn Tips! How to block 220 Superwash®   220 Superwash® is designed to be used for no-fuss garments that are washed in the washing machine and dried in the dryer .  The fibers of our 220 Superwash® have been descaled, which prevents them from gripping each other, especially when wet.  You may find that when you pull your piece out of the washer, it looks like it grew.  No worries, put it in the dryer and it will spring back into shape!  Suppose your piece has texture elements like lace or ribbing that need to be opened up after washing and drying.  You can block 220 Superwash® to accomplish this.  There are three common ways that most people block knitwear:  steaming, soak and pin, and pin and spritz.  Because 220 Superwash® tends to ...

These easy fit fun toknit sweaters have been designed in several styles and yarn weights.  Have a  look...  The Boxy was Joji's first design like this. It has a unique construction with interesting details and lots of easy knitting.  Boxy  is a very simple modern sweater, with a very wide body and skinny sleeves.
