First I want to mention that I made a “Grand Opening” colorway. This colorway is going to be available at the shop on November 3rd and 4th (I hope I’ve made enough) and then it will be available online to order. Once the Grand Opening days are done, the colorway will be no more. Do you want to see what it is?
It’s Wool blend in Navajo ply. I have big stripes and no idea what I’m going to make with it. Mittens? socks? Hat?
Now, the rest is only at the shop:
Books are 20% off
Handpainted Fiber and yarns are 20% (not incl., already discounted items)
All Wheels and Looms (over $150) come with a gift certificate (the wheels still have the usual free fiber with them)
All in stock Louet wheels are on sale.
Spindles - spend $50 get a gift certificate.
Knitting Bags are 20% off
There are new products too - Books and magazines from Interweave, Soak wool wash, Meadows wool wash, Locks all washed and ready for you to work your magic. I’ll also have a listing of the classes too. Here is what the CVM looks like drying:
So if you can make it, it’s worth it. There will be munchies and you are all welcome to come and sit and knit or spin or weave. There are more than 10 wheels set up and 3 looms all warped and ready for you to try out. I’ve left Hyacinth, the Jensen and the new old chair wheel at the shop to play with for this weekend, then at least Hyacinth is coming home.
Don’t fret there will be something special for everyone on the web too. I’ll be posting those next week when we’re closer to the update.
**edit - it would probably be good to tell you the hours. These are special hours for the Grand Opening only: Saturday we’re open 10-5 Sunday it will be 10-4.
**edit again - Because Norma demanded suggested, I wanted to post the address. You can get all the info HERE including directions.

You know I have to touch the chair wheel and the Hyacinth now that she has color and is one piece again! LOL When are you opening Saturday? And PS what is the colorway for the Fiber Club mailing which just arrived? I didn’t have bands on mine - fiber content, either….. feels like something yummy, though!
October 31st, 2007 at 7:26 am
Wait… I was just coming to hang out and fondle fiber. You didn’t tell me there was a SALE! Crap, I can’t resist a sale
There goes the yarn budget.
See you Sunday!

Maybe the husband would buy me a plane ticket and I could come? yeah, probably not. I’ll fondle all my Spunky vacation purchases while I look at the pictures Brewer took and pretend like I’m there.
Have a GREAT Grand Opening!!!!!
October 31st, 2007 at 8:16 am
We’ll be there with bells on! I can’t wait to sit down in front of some other wheels and do some test driving. And I know I need several hanks of roving (for myself, a secret pal or two, etc.). And books on sale too? O dear o dear.
Oh please please please Knitting/Spinning God(dess) let the bonus check get here in time!!!
October 31st, 2007 at 8:27 am
Ooooooh. A sale. I was going to come anyway, but now I’m definately coming.

I wish I could make it, it looks like it is going to be amazing. We’ll add it to the list of Why We Must Go to Maine.
Happy Halloween and happy Grand Opening days!

Ahhh! I’m so bummed that the Grand Opening is this weekend…the Manchvegas Knitters are all going to Grand View in northern NH. We’re going to miss it!! Oh, man!
I hope you have a wonderful (and prosperous) day and we’d all like to come up again soon to visit you and the new shop. Big hugs!!!
Love the new colorway, by the way : )

Sending you lots and lots of happy vibes for many satisfied customers.
Wish I could be there - perhaps if I started walking now…
October 31st, 2007 at 4:55 pm
I’ll be there Sunday, can’t wait!
October 31st, 2007 at 5:52 pm
Congrats on the grand opening! Wish I lived closer cause I would be there the second the doors opened.
October 31st, 2007 at 7:17 pm
I don’t know if I’m going to make the opening so I’ll wish you a happy and successful one now, just in case. It’s going to be a smash!!!
October 31st, 2007 at 10:30 pm
Congratulations on the shop opening!! I so hope to be able to visit when I’m in Maine next month!
October 31st, 2007 at 11:39 pm
I wish I could come! Have a wonderful Grand Opening weekend! I can’t wait to see what will be left for those of us who can only partake in the celebration from afar, via the online shop… I’ve been tempted by your stuff forever, now this may be the time to splurge and indulge myself…
November 1st, 2007 at 9:59 am
Unfortunately I can’t come! Boo. Hiss. Have a super time and hope you get picked clean! That new colorway is lovely.
November 1st, 2007 at 1:49 pm
I’ll be there on Sunday with the TKE group (almost sounds like a sorority!).
November 3rd, 2007 at 6:54 pm
Happy Grand Opening! Mazel Tov! How I wish I could be there. I will definitely visit at some point. It looks fabulous. That colorway is gorgeous and I have a hat project that would be perfect for it. If there is any left over after the grand opening, I would happily take a skein off your hands.
