Welcome to Kirtland's Yarn Barn!

If you can't find what you're looking for, please ask. I have lots of stuff in the store that is not online. If I don't have it, I may be able to get it or help you locate it.

I now have an RSS feed that will announce additions to the website (as well as occasional other news). The RSS feed can also be followed on Twitter @yarnbarn.

Jenny Watson's new Noro pattern book, Noro Style, includes 14 sweaters and jackets for women knit in a variety of Noro yarns, including the new Kogarashi. There are some interesting aran designs in the book that, in my opinion, would look much better in single color yarns.

Kogarashi is a 51% silk, 49% wool yarn knit at 3.5 sts/in. I have all 8 colors on order. The yarn is available on the web site for pre-ordering. $20.00/100gm ball.
