CEY Yarn Tasting


Tuesday, we had three groups of yarn tasters. Each group was able to choose several mini skeins to test knit or crochet from Classic Elite Yarns including Cricket, Premiere, Allegoro, Soft Linen, Classic Silk, Katydid, and Seedling. There were oooh's, ahhh's, laughter, and nibbles of a few yummy goodies. There was all kinds of swatching going on and we've had reports that the swatching fun kept some of our yarn tasters up until the wee hours of the morning!



Each group had a drawing for a door prize of one CEY yarn bag, a pattern, and yarn for the project. Carmen was very excited about her door prize!

Were you not able to join us for the Yarn Tasting event? Don't worry!! We have yarn tasting bags available here at the store. There are only a few left so you may want to drop by ASAP. Each bag contains 5 mini skeins, salt water taffy provided by CEY, and a coupon for 10% off one CEY purchase that is usable through April 30th.
