We’ve Been Published!!!

At Spinning Yarns Online, not only do we sell lovely hand dyed yarn, but we also sell some really groovy tape measures.  Apparently our cute tape measures caught the eye of a very nice Ad Manager at Interweave Press who is in charge of advertising for Handwoven Magazine.  She asked me to send some of the tape measures and they were professionally photographed and are in the current Jan/Feb issue!!!  Here are some very “not professionally” photographed pictures of the magazine.

         

Here is the page with the tape measures:

And here is my attempt at a closeup of the text and the picture.  Not too great but you get the idea…

 

The tape measures sell for $5.50 and are in stock now.  They are incredibly cute and a must for the well stocked knitting bag.  How much of a kick was it to see our name and link in an actual, real magazine??  Pretty big.  Huge as a matter of fact!

We are in the process of test dyeing our colorways for the Spring line.  We’ve got some real beauties in the works.  They should be ready to be put up on the site in the next week.  We will also post pictures here (now that I think I figured out how to upload pictures from my digital camera that are not microscopically small or way too big.  No, I am not a tech wizard…  I dye yarn pretty well but the technology thing is a bit beyond me.)

For our spinning friends, there will be some new colorways added to the site in the coming weeks.  We are testing new colorways and will be offering roving in merino and superwash merino.   One of my goals for the upcoming year is to spin myself enough yarn to knit a shawl.  I haven’t figured out the pattern yet.  I guess the roving and the handspun will inspire me.

Incidentally, the Baby Surprise Sweater kits mentioned below have a been a hit at Knit-A-Bit in Westfield, NJ.  Hopefully we’ll be dyeing up some more for all you baby sweater knitters out there.

Thanks to all our great customers and we wish you a warm and healthy New Year with lots of great knitting!!!  Stay tuned, we’ve got some great stuff planned for 2008!
