It's spacious. bright and inviting, and has really helped us improve our efficiency in all areas. We have several workshops planned for this year, along with a long overdue Open House, so watch out for notifications.  We're continuing to have fabulous designers work with our yarns, expand our yarn bases and grow the retail shops where you can find Shalimar yarns.     And we couldn't have done it without you. As a primarily wholesale company, we love our retail yarn shops. But growing our exclusive Shalimar yarn line for our Etsy shop has been enormously gratifying and exciting. Selling direct has allowed us to offer exclusive Etsy shop colorways, along with introducing 3 new luxury yarns due out this spring and summer!  Come see us at Maryland Sheep & Wool with All About Yarn,  in Tent E-3.  Stay tuned for our newsletter with coupons in early May.

We will be having a KAL on Ravelry for both the sweater and the cowl beginning on October 15 and running through the end of the year. The Adiri cowl is a perfect knit to give as a Christmas gift, while you knit the sweater to keep!

Julia has generously donated two pattern packages which includes both the Adiri sweater and cowl pattern! Kristi has donated a skein of Haven to each winner, which is the perfect amount to knit a cowl. To enter, leave a comment in the contest thread on Ravelry.
