Welcome to Yarn & Thread by Lisa's Blog

I wanted a place were I could let you know the latest updates. And were we could share ideas or opinions on yarns. I figured a blog was better than a lot of emails.



Feel free to post your opinions on yarns we carry or ask questions. I look forward to hearing from you!!

New Peaches & Creme Manufacturer and their New Colors

Well, we have received a color listing for the Peaches & Crème yarns from Spinrite. All of the old colors will be cut. They are completely redoing the line. The new colors are pretty, but for those of you that have product lines built around the old colors you may want to stock up. Or look into redoing your products in the new colors. Right now the company has the original Peaches & Crème on sale. They've lowered the price 30%. So you may want to see if they still have your colors in stock.

We do have a color listing for the New Peaches & Crème colors now. We have not decided if we will be carrying the new line yet or not though. The price is going to be a bit higher with the new manufacturer. But I wanted to make sure you got a look at the new colors that are going to be available starting July 2011.

One last note. When cotton prices went up last quarter we absorbed as much of the cost as we could and did not raise the price on our worsted weight cottons. The DMC and crochet thread prices we did raise, but not the worsted weight cottons. As of June 15th we will have to raise the price of the worsted weight cottons as well. The manufacturer is raising their prices again. So will have no choice but to raise our prices. Between the rising cost of basic business expenses and the yarn prices increase we will have no choice. I just wanted to warn you. Stock up before the prices go up.

This price increase will effect the Bernat Handicarfter Economy Size, All of the Lily Sugar'n Cream Yarns and the Peaches & Crème Yarns.

As always we thank you for your continued patronage!!

New Colors

Hi all, Well, spring is in the air and new colors are popping up all over. Several of the yarn lines have new colors available. Everything from cottons yarns to acrylics yarns have new colors. There are new wool and novelty yarn colors too. You may want to take a minute to check your favorite yarn line to see if there are new colors available. We are getting them and I am posting them as I can. We also picked up a couple of new yarn lines. The Baby Boucle' which is now available in a large more convenient size and the Baby Blanket. Picking up the Baby Blanket has been a bit frustrating though. While it is a new yarn Bernat is already cutting some of the colors. I'm nit sure what they are doing or thinking on this line. It's a fun yarn to work with though. It works up soft and cuddly. I'm going to carry all the colors I can get my hands on though. Happy Spring to you all!!
