Volume 3, Issue 6 July 22nd, 2010 EWETOPIA FIBER SHOP So Many New Yarns! Ewetopia has been a frequent stop for the shipping companies lately. We have new yarns galore for fall garments and accessories. We have brought in Lang yarns with a gorgeous subtle striping light weight, machine washable dk/ worsted weight yarn called Tosca Light. With yardage of about 430 yds this yarn is a bargin at $15.50/ball! I have plans of knitting up a Elizabeth Zimmerman’s Baby Surprise Jacket, and it should only take one ball! We also have Tosca Sock yarn a beautiful striping single ply sock yarn that is as strong as it is soft! Another new yarn is the soft and machine washable/ dryable 100% recycled Berroco Remix. It has a patented milling process that uses all second hand clothing to make up its fiber content and has a tweedy look to it. Although we can’t ever seem to keep this yarn on the shelf long, we just received a shipment of Jojoland Melody yarn in a bunch of new colors, plus the gorgeous Swirl Shawl pattern that is knit from Melody. Although it’s the dead of summer and quite a hot one at that, knitting hasn’t stopped! Our knitting groups (Monday nights from 4-7pm, Tuesday afternoons from 13pm and Friday mornings from 10-12pm) are still going strong, and we invite anyone interested in good laughs, friends and of course coffee and occasional treats to stop by! Our Friday morning group has been knitting little bears for kids who find themselves at the Viroqua ER, read more about this and how to get involved on page 3! We have some fun classes coming up at the end of this month and into August. Lap Weaving with Roving for example is a fantastic way to use beautiful wool rovings or clouds and learn simple weaving as well! Learn to Spin with a wheel is also always a favorite and is coming up in mid August, call to reserve your wheel now! We have 2 new EwetoKnitted bears for the ER on page 3! pian designs to present to you, the first is a quick knit (oneskein of Prime Alpaca, hand Articles dyed or natural) called the May Cardigan (picture 1), and the 1 SHOP NEWS other is the Demeter Cardigan (picture 2) with a flattering cabled waistband and knit it darts CHARITY KNITTING 2 for your hips and bust! Very KNITTED MINI BEAR 3 classy and stylish, a perfect fall sweater. 4 CLASS SCHEDULE Pic 1 Pic 2 Featured Yarn Cascade Pima Silk $4.00/ball! WOW! Was $6.40 Gorgeous pastel colors with a nice sheen and drape. 1 Charity Knitting: Bears for the ER Kids are terrified at the ER, lets face it, when you go to the ER its never for a good time! When one of our Friday morning group members started working in the Vernon Memorial ER department she saw that there was a tremendous need for something to help calm the kids down. Mary Lake, another Friday morning group member has been knitting bears for the Mother Bear project that sends knitted bears to African children in need. She simplified the pattern to make them a bit smaller (see page 3 for the pattern), and the group took it on full heartedly! It’s a great use of odds and ends balls! If you are interested in helping out with this project please stop by on Friday mornings between 10-12pm and join us! We have needles to use, lots of scrap yarn and of course humor! Make your bear unique by knitting simple clothes for it if desired! All colors and fibers excepted! If you are unable to come on Friday mornings, but would like to contribute just bring them into Ewetopia anytime that works for you! This may turn out to be an on-going event, but for now we are meeting every Friday through the end of August.
