4. What kinds of things do you carry?
We carrry Addi, HiyaHiya, Karbonz and Plymouth needles. We carry Malabrigo, Sweet Georgia, Neighborhood Fibers, Berroco, Noro and other commercial yarn, but we’re most proud of our own “Boutique” yarn line.
The Boutique yarn
line is yarn sourced, spun and dyed for us by a farm in Pennsylvania – Sweitzer
Mill Farm. In 2013, we started with five
different yarn blends all named after Maryland rivers.
Patapsco is our new Falkland
yarn, made entirely of fleece from the Falkland Islands. Located off the
southern tip of Argentina, this region is known for its cultivation of
exceptionally fine wool.
Susquehanna is our Organic
Polwarth Silk blend of certified organic Polwarth, named for the county in
Australia. We’re combining our Organic Polwarth with Silk, to create a perfect
blend. Organic means that the fibers have undergone minimal chemical processing
resulting in a finer, softer, naturally white yarn that takes dye with vivid
boldness.
Monocacy is our 100% Merino
yarn. With a natural twist and spin, Monocacy is incredibly soft, and durable.
Severn is our Blue Faced
Leicester (BFL) and Silk blend. BFL sheep has luxuriously long, silken, Shirley
Temple-esque locks to go with its blue Roman nose and is known for its
threadlike, incredibly light wool. We’ve created a blend of BFL with silk
highlights, while adding drape and lightness, making this yarn perfect for
multi-season.
Sassafrass is our Merino and
Bamboo blend. Our Sassafrass combines the durability of Merino fiber with the
softness of bamboo. Bamboo fiber adds luster and drape to a yarn, similarly to
silk, but with the added benefits of being naturally antibiotic while pulling heat
and moisture away from the skin. Blending bamboo with Merino wool creates a
slinky, shiny yarn that has beautiful stitch definition, lovely drape, and is
perfect warmer climates.
We’re proud that
Clara Parkes’ Knitter’s Review called our yarn “a solid line-up.”
5. How long have you been in business, and what inspired you to open your business?
The store opened in 2011. We wanted to open "A New Kind of Yarn Store" which really speaks to our overall customer approach to new, unique items like our Boutique yarn or how we utilize technology including cameras and monitors in the classroom for instructor's teaching.
6. What's your favorite thing about having your business?
