Parker Avenue

It’s our last Sunday for this year and we have tons of new and tried and true! Come and get it We will be open regular hours Wednesday-Saturdays closed Sunday December 24 and 31 But OPEN TUESDAY DECEMBER 26 to celebrate our second ANNIVERSARY with music fiber cappuccino smoothies and fun fun fun!

My heart just exploded ❤️❤️❤️This is actually the slightly older sister of the new one but she has claimed this one as her own. It’s an automatic heirloom and this family - KNIT WORTHY! Our reason any season

So this one has gone at long last to her new home. I started this with a destination in mind but I have to say she was hard to part with. The Luna is an affordable luxury that truly delivers. Highly recommend it and the jewel tones are soooo rich.

Whoops! So this is the custom project. And it’s more than one. Some variations on the second scarf can be done for style. One skein projects. Also looking for sample knitters as well. We were going into our 3rd year and it’s going to be bigger and better than before!

Not my usual but the request was for a very good cause so…. Client wants several pieces and totally gets the expense. Is there anyone up for the challenge? Good news is there is flexibility and the customer understands creativity. It’s fi*****ng weight. Reach out if you have any interest.

It sold out in 1 hour but I’ve been able to get it back with just a few changes. The full skein will be silver this time! Get yours! Drop a comment Send a message or just get it! Homefield Advantage!

We love happy mail as much as our customers! Giant happy thanks to the beloved Kim Nobel who generously sent us this package of handmade goodies for The weather is cold but we are going to keep hearts hands and heads warm!!! Send us whatever you got and let’s do some good.

It’s time to feel good about making someone feel great! You could make it with our fibers or treat someone who likes to make it. Either way we have what you want!

Well I tried to do something other than yarn this week but that just wasn’t as much fun so let’s all drool over this beauty right here 👀and come in to feel the beauty of Extra. It’s a bouncy soft alpaca wool blend that will stitch up quickly and delivery nothing but oohs and ahhhs. We have this pattern and more.

While taking just a moment to do a bit of me time. I was thinking. We enjoy a community at Parker Avenue that seems so normal that I take it for granted in its inclusivity. There is a bigger community beyond us and it is full of fear and ignorance. Those ingredients are destroying us and they threaten my black existence. Take the time to watch this The book is long this documentary speaks truth. Truth is the basis on which all reconciliation stands. Watch be open do not judge strive to understand. And you can stitch at the same time. 🥰

Looking this cool is one thing. Being this gifted and giving is a blessing for all of us! The incomparable will be in the shop Saturday Dec 2 1-3PM showing off the technique for her UK Cover pattern!

I can never go far from the fiber because it’s the connection to the community I love. I laid eyes on her this ethereal lilac multi mohair and when they asked me her name I looked at the beauty standing in front of me and knew at that moment this was Mikiah I am humbled to present this beautiful product that complements so much of what I stock but more importantly it complements the mission of . South Africa suffers from 30% unemployment and we all know that a difficult economy disproportionately impacts women. In this case African women. With the purchase of Cowgirlsblue I assure you that your dollars are supporting women children a beautiful country that is imperfect but has done more to better itself than America could claim. There has been truth and that is the cornerstone of reconciliation. I am moving forward with a renewed commitment to make the fiber community bigger and better because I know we are. And if you’re not interested in noble causes how about some super beautiful yarn ?!?
