Exciting news at Mothers of Purl Yarns! Starting Monday, February 6th, we will be open 6 days a week for your shopping convenience. We are also excited to officially welcome Cheri Meester into our business. Many of you already know Cheri, and the wonderful talent she brings. If you haven’t yet had the pleasure of meeting her, I hope you get the chance very soon. Our expanded hours will give you even more opportunity to see all the new yarns that are headed our way for later winter and spring and to stop by for a knitting break.
Our new hours will be Monday through Friday from 11am to 5pm (still open late on Wednesdays for Knit Night) and Saturdays 10am to 2pm. Look for old favorites, new stand bys, and indulgent luxuries to start arriving by the end of this week.

And, stop by for Spinning Saturday on January 7th at 11am. Even if you aren’t a spinner yet, you can stop by to see spinners in action and give spinning on a wheel or a drop spindle a try.
In the meantime, take a peek at our new class schedule that starts SOON! Ever wanted to give steeking a try? We are starting off the new year with this exciting skill on January 9th! Sign up today to get your homework assignment.

Happy Knitting!
What a busy time of year fall is for knitters and crocheters! Lately, I can’t help but cast on new projects left and right. Between holiday gifts, a new winter sweater for myself, and new hats and mittens for the whole family, it seems like there is always a new project to start. Amid all the hustle and bustle, I want to make sure I share a few important dates and changes that are coming up in the near future.
First, our Friday Knit-A-Long will be changing times and will now begin at 3pm every Friday. We are just starting some hooded mittens if you are interested in joining us for the first time or coming back after a hiatus. We have a great time and always seem to learn something new. We will be concentrating on smaller projects for the next couple of weeks, so it is also a great way to find new gift ideas. Please consider joining us.
Second, there WILL be Knit Night on Wednesday, November 23rd, so if you need some knitting time before the mayhem of the holiday ensues, this is the place for you. As always, 6:30pm to 8:30pm.
Speaking of the Thanksgiving holiday, we will be closed from Thursday, November 24th, through Sunday, November 27th. I hope everyone has the opportunity to give thanks with your family and friends.
We will reopen with a bang on Monday, November 28th, for a ONE DAY SALE! It will be a store-wide sale (with just a handful of exceptions), so definitely plan to stop be the shop during our normal business hours from 11am to 5pm. This is our way of saying, “Thank you!” to all our wonderful customers.
As many of you are aware, one of the biggest knitting shows in the country happens on our door step. This weekend, Stitches East will be at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford. We will be closed Saturday, October 22, to attend this great event. Even if you haven’t registered for classes, the marketplace is a wonderful opportunity to see the plethora that the knitting community has to offer. Happy Knitting! We’ll see you on Monday, October 24, to resume our normal business hours.
Happy October! As we delve into fall, high knitting season is upon us. This is a great time to make something luxurious for yourself or to start your holiday knitting. To support that, Mothers of Purl Yarns has many new fall yarns and restocks of perennial favorites. We have expanded our offerings of buttery soft alpaca yarns, new luxury tweeds and Merinos, and inspiring one-of-a-kind yarns. We also have plenty of quick kits, pattern and instructional books, and helpful accessories to make knitting and crocheting a pleasure. If you haven’t yet had the opportunity, stop by our needle section to take a look at our new line of circular needles and crochet hooks. They are getting rave reviews and are very affordable. Later in the fall, we will also be adding even more needles, luxurious yarns, and even beads! Also, don’t forget that we have Addi Clicks Interchangeable sets, swifts and ball winders, and an ever increasing selection of project bags in stock. These are great items to put on your wish list for the holiday season or to gift to a fiber loving friend. Lastly, take a moment to look at our fall class offerings and ongoing events. Happy knitting!
Just a quick reminder that Mothers of Purl Yarns will be closed in observance of the Labor Day holiday from September 3rd through September 5th. We will reopen for regular business hours at 11am on Wednesday September 7th.
Also, we are thrilled to announce that we can now accept American Express cards along with Visa, Mastercard, and Discover. (In addition to good old cash or check.) AND, you will now have the option to have your receipts emailed or text messaged to you when you use a credit card to complete your transaction.
And lastly, our fall yarns have begun to arrive. These already include some new novelty yarns, two different yarns made from recycled sari silk, and a scrumptious new washable Merino blend from Kraemer Yarns. Keep an eye out for even more new yarns in addition to restocks of many of our old favorites. We are also bringing in a new line of needles and crochet hooks that is getting great reviews. Plus, keep an eye out for some gorgeous knitting accessories and gift items to make you smile.
