From Chaos to Calm

The snow may be coming down outside, but inside Wooly Minded we are definitely cozy.  Following our Baby Sale we have filled the holes with a HUGE delivery of new yarns and books from Debbie Bliss and Sirdar. 


This may not look like much but each box weighed close on 50lb.  Our UPS man certainly gets his workout carrying them up our stairs!

So how do we get from 3 nice tidy boxes to a shop full of tidy shelves?  And how does it look as we make this impressive change?  Warning:  it's not always pretty!

First step - bring in the laundry baskets and scatter yarn all over the store.




Next, as if by magic, order is achieved.







How luscious does that all look - pretty mouthwatering I think.

Bumper Baby Sale


So here is a selection of what we are offering to you at a total STEAL of a price.  All in-stock baby yarn and patterns are now 60% OFF.  Have we gone completely mad?  Yes, probably, but it has to be done to make way for some new and exciting yarns that we have lined up for you.  Can't (or won't!) tell you any more yet, but be prepared - we think you'll like it.  In the meantime, come and stock up on what is left of our already fabulous collection for baby projects. 

Why is a 'baby yarn' a 'baby yarn'?  Because it is soft and gentle to the touch.  My mum is going through chemo at the moment, so I think a couple of these balls have her name on them for hats.  Of course, if you don't have a baby or a bald mother in your future, there is no reason at all why you can't treat yourself to something soft and pastelly (?) for the spring.  I really do believe I have persuaded myself (and you, of course) that there is something for everyone here!

Baaaaaaaaaa
