Have you started yarn crawling yet? If not, there’s still time! You have until Saturday, August 10th to join in the fun.

The purpose of the Hot August Knits Yarn Crawl is to get knitters up and down Hwy 287 acquainted with the yarn shops in our area. They each have a different personality and stock items unique to each shop. ‘Crawlers’ as they are fondly called, have an opportunity to support local yarn shops and find out what’s available close by.

I found some yarn on the Sock Wall at My Sister Knits, the wall at the top of the stairs, that I’d never noticed before. Appalled that there was yarn in the shop that I knew absolutely nothing about, I decided to investigate! Unsurprisingly, Julie found us a yarn that has a heart-warming story.

My Sister Knits has a gorgeous new shawl that we want to share with you, the Quintet Shawlette designed by Ambah O’Brien.

The annual Hot August Knits yarn crawl starts Saturday, July 27 and goes through Saturday, August 10th. That gives you two full weekends, one Saturday, and the two weeks in between to see all of the shops!

My Sister Knits cordially invites you to a yarn tasting! Participants will get a 10g ball of each of our four bases from Blacker Yarns. You’ll be able to hear about the history and special aspects of this yarn from Cornwall, England while you’re testing out/tasting the yarn. We are proud to be the only yarn shop in the United States to carry Blacker Yarn!

Today My Sister Knits is continuing with ideas for summer tops. We’ve had this one on display for a few weeks now but the pattern was just released a few days ago. Finally, we can officially tell you about it!

Are you wanting a quick summer project? Something knit with nice big yarn for speedy results but one that won’t make you hot? My Sister Knits has you covered! 

My Sister Knits’ Mitchell Wool Co. shipment has arrived!! We are so excited to carry this yarn! Our American Fiber yarn from Mitchell Wool Co. is so important because it was basically rescued from a mill that was closing down

My Sister Knits Launch Party for Mitchell Wool Co. American Fiber yarns is Saturday, June 8th! To those of you reading this from your email instead of the website, that means today! We encourage you to finish your Saturday morning coffee or tea and come on over!

Today I want to tell you about three things that all tie in together: a book, yarn, and a wool festival. As I was reading Clara Parkes’ book Vanishing Fleece last week, I was so absorbed in it that I want to share it with you!

Are you traveling this summer? Surely you want to take a knitting project with you to while away those travel hours in a car or on a plane. My Sister Knits has some ideas for you!

Summer is almost here! Can you believe it? Somehow everything feels a bit more laid back during the summer months. Our schedules might open up a bit, giving us time to do something different. My Sister Knits has several fun special events planned!

My Sister Knits has classes! If you’ve been wanting to learn something new, check out our offerings for the rest of May and June!

Oh my, this My Sister Knits’ blog post/newsletter has led me down a rabbit hole! Let me tell you the story. I wanted to let all of you know about the lovely new Woolberry yarns we have. The colors are just right for spring/summer knitting

My Sister Knits now has copies of Kate Atherly’s book Custom Socks: Knit To Fit Your Feet! Kate Atherly is one of my favorite teachers and even before I took a dive into this book I knew it would be fantastic, thorough, and easy to understand. Kate is a mathematician who brings that knowledge and also her years of tech editing sock patterns to this invaluable book.

My Sister Knits is one of the multitudes of yarn shops celebrating Local Yarn Store Day on Saturday, April 27th! This international day of celebration was created by The National Needlearts Association (TNNA) in 2018 to bring awareness to the advantages of having a local yarn store close

Let’s have some fun! If you’re anything like me, you often look at our skeins of Spincycle yarn and ooh and aah over the colors but you don’t really know what you’d do with it so you leave it on the shelf.

My Sister Knits has long been a fan of mudd leather knitting bags. We have a trunk show of these beauties arriving this week! mudd is a Danish company well known for its quality leather goods.

Wooldreamers has an intriguing yarn for spring knitting! Saona is a 50/50 wool-cotton blend, all from Spain. The wool is a blend of Merino and Manchega. The fun thing about Manchega is that it comes from Manchega sheep who are also the source of Manchego cheese!
