Local Yarn Store Day is April 25th 2026 and Knitting Fever is again offering the opportunity for
US customers to win a free set of knitting needles from Lykke Crafts. All you need to do is purchase
at least $75 of Knitting Fever brands products April 24 - 26 and email a copy of your receipt to
[email protected] by May 1st.
Note that since I don't do real-time credit processing, you should probably place your online order
the 24th or 25th to make sure the receipt has a valid date.
Just in time for local yarn shop day, the new Noro Magazine
for spring/summer 2026 has arrived!
This issue includes 30 designs to knit or crochet in
Noro yarns, including women's tanks, tees, polos, cardis,
vests, pullovers, wraps, and scarves. $12.99
Noro Mebuki
New Noro Mebuki is a worsted weight self-striping yarn.
Koma is the latest Noro yarn to arrive. This
DK weight self-striping yarn is layered with waves of color that play out like the swirls of a spinning
top (Koma in Japanese). Mohair adds softness and depth, while silk threads in a subtle sheen. Perfect
for shawls and other cozy garments.
3 colors are now in stock and there are 4 designs using the yarn in
Noro Magazine #27, including the
shawl shown here. The shawl is also available as an
individual pattern FREE with a yarn pac purchase
while supplies last.
New hats have been added to my selection of
ready to wear hand-knit hats. These are new, unworn, hats.
Most have at least some wool and are hand wash/dry. Several of them are soft enough to use as
chemo hats.
I have included links to patterns and yarn where possible, for people who would like to
make their own hat.
Knitting Fever Shop Local
The Shop Local program enables U.S. customers to purchase select yarn, patterns, kits, needles,
and tools directly from Knitting Fever
(the US wholesale distributor of many brands) with free shipping for orders of
$50 or more — and support my store at the same time!
Support my shop by selecting "Yarn Barn of Andersonville" (zipcode 23936) during checkout.
Noro Ohajiki
Ohajiki is one of the Noro 2025
spring yarns. It is a worsted weight self-striping yarn. 3 colors arrived recently and the
yarn pacs for the 5 designs using this yarn
in Noro Magazine #26 are now
online.
When I moved my store from Ohio to Virginia, I did not add the needlework kits, etc.
to my web site. I am sorting through the boxes and posting those that are still useable.
These items are all at least 25 years
old and have been in storage most of that time. They would be an inexpensive way to learn
needlepoint, cross stitch, or various types of embroidery.
Now Shipping Outside United States
We have re-enabled shipping options to Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
All packages to destinations outside the U.S. will ship using a service called Global Post. This
is a service where I send packages to a collection point in the US, then they are
bundled and shipped to other countries by Global Post for customs clearance. Once customs
are cleared, the local post office delivers your package.
I do not collect any taxes (VAT) or customs duties owed on international shipments.
You may need to pay these before your package will be delivered.
Appomatox Head Start Visits the Store
Teachers from Appomattox Head Start recently visited the store to make a virtual field trip video to share
with their students for a unit about clothing.
