Did you know that October 14 was Yarn Day? Man, we need to start planning to have a great yarn day next year! What did you do for Yarn Day? I know it seems like we've been MIA lately, but we're working hard in the store and updating the website to a new version shopping cart with better security and order tracking features.

FEATURED PROJECT:
Lily Blanket makes great use of the color repeat nature of Rhythm Superwash. Ten balls makes a throw 32x32 inches. Colorway shown is 34 - Spectrum.

SHIPPING COSTS:
We will always adjust your shipping if the system is overcharging. If the only shipping option is Will Pick Up, we'll contact you with shipping costs once the purchase is pulled and weighed. Sometime next month we'll have weight-based shipping implemented again. In the meantime, the software will charge a flat rate based on the total of your order as follows:
up to $10 = $3.96 (First Class USPS)
up to $25 = $4.95 (Priority Mail)
up to $40 = $6.95 (Priority Mail)
up to $75 = $10.95 (Priority Mail)
over $75 = FREE (within the continental U.S. only; others will be actual)
International costs will be actual shipping, and we'll email you with the total after pulling/packing and weighing your order.
OUT OF STOCK/WAIT List:
Right now, anything out of stock is disappearing from the website. As we know items will be restocked, we'll enable a "wait list" function so you will get an automated email once the product comes back in stock. We'll be glad to take a telephone order so you are first in line to receive a product when it comes back in stock, just call us at 800-426-5098.
Thank you for your business and for bearing with us through the construction phase of our website update!! Some features returning soon are the yarn details and pattern details. Plus, we're working on an order tracking feature and will announce it when its available.
