New Yarns, New Flowers, New Motto


One last photo of the Tulips before the heat of summer makes them fade for another year. MMmm serenity!
We have a new motto around here...and it goes something like this:

"The pump may go up, but you won't see our prices doing that. You can count on fair pricing on all our yarns; our promise to you in these times of economic uncertainy!"
"Inflation Proof Pricing....IPP for short!"


Universal Worsted Long Print has gone DOWN in price! Long Print is now $9.00!



Honeypot Yarns are 100% Superwash Merino & is a one person operation that is based here in Madison WI. Their yarns are all over the country but we are their only local outlet. This is just a small sampling of the yarns we have in stock and more colors and types are coming. YAY for supporting local businesses!!Seasong is a mix of wonderfully soft 80% Cotton and 20% SeaCell.


Tahiti is a 100% Cotton variegated yarn. MMMm tropical!


Cotton wood is 100% ORGANIC Cotton. Natural goodness ahead!

Here is a Baby Hat knit up in our new Alora yarn which is 56% Bamboo and 44% Wool. It has the look of ribbon but knits up as easily as any yarn.

We have corrections for the Baby Hat pattern by Sue Bakken for those of you who have purchased the pattern, you may come in anytime to pick those up, free-of-charge.



More wonderful flowers here around OTBP!

The Karaoke Feel It event is here until June 6th. Come on in to see wonderful hand-knit pieces made out of the outstanding variegated Karaoke before they leave.

We hope you all have a wonderful and safe Memorial weekend!
