65 Simcoe Street Collingwood - here I come

Our relocation plan gets started on Monday the 15th. With the help of fabulous friends, Donna, Heather and my wonderful husband, Jim the transformation of Studio 1 takes on Grey Heron's new look. The funky space with 50s turquoise walls and a black glass tile kitchen cupboard wall, will start to fill up with the yarn shelves.
My suppliers have been remarkable at replacing my stock as I needed.
BIG thank you to John from Estelle Yarns -  http://estelleyarns.com/ . My shelves will be filling up with Cascade, King Cole, Baa Ram Ewe, Manos and Lang yarns this week. John, The Dye Guy is busy dying Socky Talky yarns in his usual exciting colours. Cindy from Apple Laine is getting my order of Apple Pie Trail yarns ready for me. Deb from Cabin Fever  http://cabinfever.ca/ has my order ready for delivery this week.
We still have Rhichard Devrieze yarns, Biscotte & Cie yarns, Turtlepurl, Noro, Patons Kroy sock, Dye Version, Opal sock, Lana Grossa and Brown Sheep  to arrive to round out our selection.

We will have a new product for spinners to marvel at. Arriving from Sweet Georgia yarns of Vancouver, gorgeous BFL and silk fibre braids will be available shortly. A selection of Drop spindles will grace our "Fibre Corner" walls. Guess that means - we are getting our spinning product lines in place.

So, rising up from the flood waters on Pine have lead to our relocation to join the Market building family @ 65 Simcoe St, Collingwood. http://whatsonsimcoestreet.com/65-simcoe/

You can drop by over the next week or two - we won't be completely ready but you can see the transformation happening.

We hope to open our doors on Thursday July 25th @ 10am... stay tuned...

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 grow when saturated with water and needs t

Who's tired of the cold winter winds and ready to knit a great Spring sweater?  Well, I think many of us are ready for those tulips and crocuses to show up.  Have you heard about Joji's Boxy sweater line up? 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. Worked with a lightweight yarn it is very flattering, drapey and stylish!  A little short row section in the shoulders adds an interesting texture to the sleeves.  Directions are given to make a seamless version (worked in the round) or a seamed version (worked back and forth) of the body. The sleeves and the neckband are worked seamlessly in the round in both versions. As per Joji's description.  Then comes the worsted weight knit vers
