::New Arrivals, New Classes!::
Some of you may be busy getting your kids ready for school - but some of you are waiting for the weather to cool down and wondering what to do with the rest of your summer! Angel Hair is the place to visit! We have August classes available NOW - try your hand at Toe-Up Socks, Simple Crochet for Knitters, Knitting 101, Kids Knitting Camp, Knit Now or our Famous Koigu Shawl. Sign up now!
We have also just received 8 delicious shades of Crystal Palace Sequoia. It's a beautiful wool/alpaca blend with a twisty tweedy look, perfect for starting an early fall scarf! CP also sent Kid Merino (similar to Rowan Kidsilk Haze, but no silk, so half the price), Merino Frappe (a fuzzy felty look), and Merino Stripes (similar to M.Frappe, but self-striping and a bit thicker gauge).
We also have these cool new purse forms from Trendsetter Yarns, for making those awesome freeform purses (for some examples, see this site). We have a boat bag form, a little square party purse form, and a larger square handbag form.

::Angel Wares and Fall Stuff...::
Well, we're already receiving stuff that Andrea and I ordered at market and it's GORGEOUS! We've got loads of new colors of Colinette Giotto and a beautiful model that Tiffany crocheted out of it. You could make a lightweight wrap for early fall or those chilly times in restaurants and movies. Sue has also recently made an easy herringbone tank top and a cropped tie-front cardi out of Giotto. Colinette also sent Tagliatelli and Peggy worked up a stunning red pullover with a wide cowl neck.
We JUST received Pure Merino from Berroco and it's so spongy soft - and machine washable! Whoohoo! If you want something similar in feel but hand-dyed, try Artyarns' Ultramerino 6. Ask Stephanie to show you her sample of it - she's working on another gorgeous model.
Come in every two weeks to see our Rowan trunkshow! Rowan sends us 3 beautiful garments for you to see (although not try on) in their full knitted glory. We currently have a Kaffe Fassett striped jacket (quite the masterpiece) and a Cotton Braid cardi.
We have a new brand of wool wash for your lovely items! It's called Soak. It comes in 3 scents - citrus, flora, and aquae. No need to rinse, so you can soak the items in your washing machine, then spin the water out, and voila!, your handknits are clean without a hassle! You can try a sample of any scent for 1.95, or buy a 3-fer, a pack with a small bottle of each scent. Come in and try some!
Our new boutique, Angel Wares, is now in full swing - there are shawls, paintings, jewelry, felted bags, flower pins, hats, and more available to purchase! These are ready to wear, no need to make anything - perfect when you need a handmade gift but no time to make it yourself!
Still time to take classes - we have openings for Xmas in July (starts July 6), Knit Flowers and Embellishments (starts July 12), and sign your kids (8-12) up now for our new Kidz Knitting Kamp on July 26-28, 8:30-10am! Patty will walk your child through simple projects, no matter what skill level or previous experience your child has with knitting. We're working on our fall newsletter and a whole whack of new classes to begin in August! Want to start now? Call us to set up an hour's worth of personal training for only $20!
