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!!

Sugar'n Cream Super Size

We have added the Lily Super Size Sugar'n Cream to our line. We have never carried this line simply because most you asked for the regular Sugar'n Cream. And since the cotton yarn colors in the Super Size were always the same as the colors in the regular size we just didn't bother carrying the Super Size. Well...Lily brought out some new colors that are only available in the Super Size!! We didn't want to miss out on the pretty new colors so we've made them available.

I just wanted to take a minute to wish all of you a very Happy Labor Day.

We are taking a bit of time off. We are always closed on Saturday. But we will be closed on Sunday and Monday too. So, I will be back bright and early Tuesday morning!!

I hope all of you have a safe and blessed holiday weekend!!

Thank you,

Price Changes

Well, we did it. We had to get a little creative, but we found a way to cut our expenses just a bit more. We did have to raise the prices on some of the yarns. But we got by with a smaller price increase than we originally figured.

The best part is that we were actually able to lower the price on other yarns!! So when you get a chance you may want to take a look.

From the looks of it I'm going to be able to lower the price on some of the custom order yarns too. I'll do that next week though.

We will continue to keep our overhead down as much as possible so we can keep our prices as low as possible.

I hope you have a fabulous weekend!! I know I will. My son is coming home on leave this weekend. He's been deployed since Feb. He'll be home for a couple of weeks before he has to go back. We're all excited to get to see him!!

Thank you all for your continued patronage!!

Sale before the price increase.

Hi all, sorry I've been out of the loop for a few days. I got the flu!! Who gets the flu in the Summer?!?! I'm all better now though and back at it.

I wanted to remind you that within the next couple of weeks the prices on select acrylic yarns will be going up. So you might want to shop before the prices go up. AND...to help you BeatThePriceIncrease (hint: that's your coupon code.) We are running a sale. You can find out all the details by checking out the flyer posted at our web site Sale Flyer A link to this flyer can also be found on our What's On Sale Page at the website.

Also if you like cotton yarns as much as I do and you are trying to us U.S. made products as often as possible you might want to check out our latest business venture, www.cotton-corner.com

I hope you all have a fabulous day!!

Thanks again, so much for your continued patronage!!

New Handicrafter Economy Size Colors

I just wanted to let all of you know that we received new Bernat Handicrafter Cotton Economy Size colors in. Bernat did not put all of the new colors in the large balls. But they put some of them up in the larger skeins. Of course there were some colors that did not come in. We should be getting more within a couple of weeks though.

I hope you have a fabulous evening!!

Special Order Yarns

Hi all,

As promised I put up a special order page for the yarns that we have access to.
Here's a link to the page at the website;
http://www.yarn-and-threadbylisa.com/special_order_yarns.htm
I'm more than glad to order any of the yarns listed on that page for you. I know it can be so frustrating trying to find the yarn you want for a project. And then there is always the problem of finding enough in the right color or dye lot!! So, if I can help you find what you need just let me know.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!!

Thank you,
Lisa
