Can you believe it's time to think about knitting for Christmas?

Elegant Heirlooms has 3 lines of Christmas Stocking kits which I can have drop-shipped to you: Elegant Heirlooms, Googleheims, and DooLallies.

Perfection Worsted is a new-to-me acrylic/wool worsted weight yarn that can be machine washed and dried. This is my replacement for the discontinued Ella Rae Cozy Soft.
Jody Long Delish is a new fingering weight wool/silk yarn that combines softness with a subtle sheen. Four pastel solid colors are now in stock, along with 3 patterns that are FREE with a yarn pac purchase, including the shawl shown here.
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.
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.
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.
Teachers: Ms. Dill, Ms. Ferguson, and Ms. Savage
