Soft Sea Wool, We Hardly Knew Ye

Dearly Beloved,

We are gathered by the computer screens to mourn the loss of Reynolds Soft Sea Wool. It had a good run here at Rosie's but we must say goodbye. It served its purpose as a yarn that was slightly heavier than Koigu, lending itself to designs for fingering weight as well as for sport. However, it was overlooked while younger, more impressive yarns came in and stole the spotlight. It is survived by Baby Cashmerino, Shepherd Sport, and Alpaca Sox.

Soft Sea Wool shall be missed.

Services will be held at Rosie's Yarn Cellar this Friday-Sunday. There will be a $4 per skein charge for those who would like a keepsake. There is also currently a viewing online.

Sorrowfully Submitted,
Rosie's Staff

P.S.: If you're interested in more sale yarn, stop by our Sidewalk Sale this weekend starting Friday, June 25th-Sunday, June 27th. You won't be disappointed!

Rosie's President's Day Weekend Sale!

Most of you know that we were planning to have a huge sale for the Superbowl, but Mother Nature had other plans. Due to the inclement weather (read: gusty, cold blizzard-like conditions) we'll be closed tomorrow, Saturday February 6th and will reopen on Sunday, February 7th during normal business hours from 12pm-5pm. The sale will be held next Sunday and hopefully those of you who did have other plans for the Superbowl will be able to make it!

See you next Sunday!
(or this Sunday if you really need needles and yarn!)

Sidewalk Sale!

This weekend, the weather is set to be very nice. Why not come to Rosie's this weekend for our annual end-of-summer sidewalk sale? We've gone through our inventory, making room for more Fall yarns to enable you with, and have found not only some great yarns, but also books and patterns. If there was ever a time when you could fill up your pattern library, or start one, this is a great opportunity.

There will be yarn from Classic Elite, Reynolds, Sublime and others. One of the yarns thatwe'll miss is Rowan 4 Ply Soft. Courtney wrote an obituary for it a while back, but don't worry. We still have some stock, so get it before it disappears!

Come on down during regular shop hours and see what awesome finds are waiting for you!

This Just In!

We received a new book, one that looks to be a gift knitting book to have in your library.

Knitted Gifts: Irresistible Projects to Make & Give

Another lovely work from Ann Budd & friends, this book features projects that are perfect for gift-giving. With 30+ patterns ranging from a beautifully simple heirloom baby blanket, catnip toys, quick-to-knit socks, texter gloves and a hobby horse (yes, a hobby horse), I'm pretty sure you'll find something to knit for even the pickiest recipient.

Speaking of gifts, stop in for our Christmas In July sale. Save anywhere from 15%-75% when you make a purchase with gift knitting in mind. You can get an early jump on your list of people to knit for, and save a little money, in addition to saving some nerves, by not knitting down to the wire.


We've got an entire section of yarn on sale for you to choose from, as well as books that need a new shelf to hang out on (maybe at your place???). Stop by and pick up a few skeins before they fly outta here!

Cashmere Sale!

When was the last time you heard the words 'cashmere' and 'sale' in the same sentence?




Well, upon executing some early spring cleaning, we came across Classic Elite Forbidden. It is a bulky weight yarn with 65 yards per skein. For $30 (that's 40% off the suggested retail price!), you get 100% cashmere at 11 stitches to 4" on a US 13 needle for a luxurious knit at a fraction of the cost. Cowl? Hat? Anklewarmers? Fingerless mitts? Whatever you decide, it'll be a treasure!
