Fiber people have a lot in common, and we're not just talking sticks and hooks here. This time of year I often overhear conversations start with fibery projects, and quickly jump to talk of green and growing things. Many of us enjoy digging in the soil almost as much as we do our favorite needlework, but that needlework and grimy hands do NOT go well together. No worries, we've got you covered. Just in from Colorado is a wonderful selection of Sycamore Street Soap products. Homemade soap, scrub, and cute little tins of lotion that fit perfectly in the knitting bag. I have to admit that I'm partial to the scrub. It removes all the garden residue from my cracked hands and leaves the most glorious, earthy fragrance. These products would make wonderful Mother's Day gifts, especially
combined with a flower washcloth! Got you covered there, too. The Flower Washcloth class is two sessions, May 5 & 12, 10:00 - noon. You'll have a completed washcloth just in time for Mother's Day!
If you're on our mailing list, the new class schedule for May-August has arrived at your door. If not, come in and pick one up! Due to such high demand, we are offering more Beginning Knit classes than ever before and we're in the process of certifying more instructors with the Yarn Craft Council of America. Classes beginning this week are the Summer Topper, Felting 101, Beginning Knit I, and the above mentioned washcloth.
Spring and Summer are going to be exciting at Unique Yarns! We're looking forward to you being a part of it!
I'm getting Yarn Craft Council of America certified too! Please, don't forget about the Crocheters! :D
Cotton fibers are rough to clean, so next time I'm in serious need of fiber-friendly cleaning solution, I'm going to try it.

Wow....how nice. The write up about the Garden Scrub was lovely and I too, enjoy it daily now that I'm in the dirt so much. I just read a quote by Barbara Atwood: "In the spring at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt."
