Hello, I was at the Toronto Pucks `n Purls” event yesterday, where I was lucky
enough to win a door prize that had been donated by Old Mill Knitting – the
Fiber Trends “Flock of Sheep” pattern, and some lovely NZ wool & mohair
yarns.  I just wanted to say thank you very much for donating such lovely prizes.
I haven`t worked with either of those yarns before, and I do love trying out new
yarns.  The handpainted JJ mohair is particularly captivating – something I may
need to look for more of!  Thanks, Mairi McKissock.

Some fantastic new shades have been released into some of our more popular yarns for you to get creative with!

Melosmom again.  The BS (big sister…) was the official Old Mill Knitting photographer at the show and took lots of pictures.  It wasn’t hard to be a good photographer in the Classic Elite booth, there were sooooooo many pretty designs to look at!

Classis Elite released Seedling last spring – you can view the shades available here.

Part of the Verde Collection of eco-friendly yarns, Seedling is a machine washable organic cotton. This yarn has the same wonderful texture and softness as Sprout but in a lighter weight.  Seedling’s organic fiber is more robust and less stressed by chemicals than non-organic cotton, which increases its absorbency and color intensity.

This spring Classic Elite is bringing us Seedling Hand Paint.  There will be a pattern book for Seedling Hand Paint plus there is a Seedling book from last spring – book 9133.

This spring Classic Elite is bringing us Seedling Hand Paint.

A hand painted cotton yarn is hard to find and Classic Elite is bringing us great colours.

Melosmom here. TNNA has been great. There is no snow in Phoenix but it isn’t that hot, in fact today I wore one of my Zara sweaters to the show.

Lantern Moon’s booth is always one of the prettiest in the show. The colours are amazing.

What a way to store your needles.

Your knitting will be happy in these bags.

Lantern Moon's colours choices are always great.

How beautiful is this needle case?

There are going to be new colours in the Clam Shell Cases and Silk Needle Cases

This weekend in Phoenix is the annual TNNA Winter Trade Show, and Old Mill Knitting will be attending!
 
Hundreds of needlearts suppliers display their newest products, trends, etc, and we can’t wait to get back and fill you in on what new products will soon be available.
