Our November KAL is the Storm Fir Shawl, which you can see here on Ravelry. It’s knit in a bulky weight yarn, and we have lots of great ones that would work! Odessa is knitting one in Cascade Lana Grande right now. You could also use yarns such as Mirasol Ushya, Berroco Peruvia Quick, Malabrigo Gruesa, Diamond Baby Alpaca Sport or Glimmer, Noro Hitsuji or one of many more! This shawl is a quick knit that would make a great holiday gift or a cozy wrap for yourself! And when you buy the yarn for the pattern, you get the pattern free!

Don’t forget, the August 1^st deadline for early bird retreat registration is creeping up, so get your forms in. Spots are filling up so don’t wait!

You can email them to us (info@​wolseleywool.​com) or post them in our Ravelry group or on our Facebook wall.We have little kits made up with small balls of 5 different colours for the Fiddlehead Mittens at the shop so come and pick one up! The yarn and pattern for the KAL are 10% off until the end of August. There are so many different yarn choices and ways to knit this. You can use 5 different colours for the colour work, or use a striping yarn like Noro Kureyon or Silk Garden to do all the work for you. The yarn combinations are endless!

We have some amazing new yarns in the shop. First up is Madelinetosh Vintage, a striking worsted weight yarn. There are limited quantities of this beauty, so you better come in fast! I’ve knit a few baby sweaters with it before and the depth of colour in this yarn is just amazing!

We also have a colourful table full of Handmaiden and Fleece Artist yarns including Trail Socks, Kidazzle, Flaxen, Mini Maiden, Marrakesh and Sea Silk. There are some great shawl and sock knitting yarns here in some amazing colourways and fibres. I can’t walk by the table without picking up a skein and thinking of knitting it up into a lacy shawl. My favorite is the Mini Maiden — the silk really makes it glow.

Throughout the month of May we are celebrating the shawl in a few different ways:

• A Color Affection Shawl Knitalong — Buy the yarn at the store and get the pattern for free! We are hosing a KAL day on May 19^th from 12–6. There will also be prize drawings for the KAL at the end of the month. Come down to the store for more info.
• If you’ve been to the store in the past few days, you might notice all the shawls hanging up (and if you haven’t been in lately, you should come see the gorgeous work on display). We’ve put together lots of kits for them and all kits are discounted between 15 & 50%!
• There are two FREE Saturday workshops, one on the 12^th and one on the 26^th. The workshop on the 12^th is a lace workshop and the one on the 26^th is a bead knitting workshop. Space is limited, so call the store at 772‑5648 to register today!
