Hooray for May! Spring has most definitely sprung, and as we transition from our collective altered state in to something more akin to normalcy, we'd like to celebrate by offering 20% off all needles, hooks, and accessories through the end of this month. Now is a great time to stock up, and with the savings, buy some new yarn as a tribute to the happy hobby that helped you get through the past many months with a modicum of sanity intact, with some creative productivity to show for it as well.

As a reminder, we are open 5 days a week, Wednesday through Sunday, from 10:00 to 3:00. It has been nothing short of WONDERFUL to see so many smiling, familiar faces over the past few months. We are truly grateful for your continued support!

We will be opening back up on Wednesday, June 17th for curbside pick-up, telesales, and consierge shopping (meaning, we can assist you with suggestions on available yarns for your next project...sorry, no in-store shopping just yet). Our modified COVID hours of operation will be 11 to 3 Wednesday through Sunday (closed on Mon and Tues). We will also offer FREE HOME DELIVERY throughout SC County for those that would like to shelter-in-place a bit longer. We've missed interacting with our customers desperately, and will look forward to greeting you (and grinning from ear to ear from behind the safety of our face masks) next week!

Throughout the duration of the shelter-in-place order, we're offering a special price on ALL in-stock yarns: buy 4, get a 5th skein/ball FREE. Mix and match permitted, but least expensive item is free. No credits or returns, please. FREE DELIVERY within Santa Cruz County. Stay healthy, productive, and creative, friends! We miss seeing you in the shop.

This new pattern from Casapinka is available with yarn purchase through Sunday only! You must message us to confirm your purchase and we will issue the Ravelry redemption code which is good only through Sunday night. Codes not redeemed will expire and the pattern will be available for purchase. Thank-you for supporting local yarn stores. Many of you made her Magical Thinking last year, and I am sure will enjoy knitting this 2-skein stole too!

Although our shop is currently closed as part of the statewide COVID-19 shelter in place order, we will look forward to reopening and continuing to serve our wonderful and creative customers in due time. During the interim, we would like to extend an offer of FREE SHIPPING OR HOME DELIVERY throughout Santa Cruz County until the end of May, subject to changing conditions in our collective fight against the global pandemic. Please send us a private message via Facebook Messenger, and we will respond promptly. We have excellent stock levels on hand of needles, hooks, and of course YARN for all of your stay-the-%$ #@-at-home needs.

Best wishes for wellness and good health to our cherished customers and needle arts enthusiasts throughout Santa Cruz County and beyond. We miss you, and would love to hear from you soon!
