his edition of the newsletter is full of things to tempt you over the next few weeks with more new arrivals and some great workshops lined up for the Autumn. There is another chance to sign up and join us on the trip to The Knitting and Stitching Show at Alexandra Palace and a great ‘Website of the Month’ to visit. Also, we are nearly ready to launch our online shop so there are exciting times ahead. Hope you enjoy the newsletter, Sue.

Window Watch...
In the window this month is a lovely jumper which is in keeping with our seaside theme last month. It is from one of the summer Lana? Grossa Pattern books and is knitted in New Cotton which is a lovely cotton and microfibre yarn which is fabulous to knit with.

Kits and more kits!
...
The other new kits are from one of our favourite suppliers, Rooster Yarns. There are kits for scarves, a cushion, a hat, bags and a gorgeous rabbit called Miss Bunny who wears a lovely dress covered in tiny rosebuds. They are beautifully packaged and would make a lovely present.

Wow!
This is the only thing I could think of to say about this yarn! Feza Premier yarn is causing a huge ‘stir’ in America at the moment and is set to take Britain by storm this winter. If you like knitting scarves then you’ll love this yarn. Basi?cally it is a hand-tied yarn made up of sections of different yarns giving a variegated effect when knitted. I have made a scarf from a sample I was given and it is fabulous. The colours are beautiful and at The Hut we are starting with a range of seven different shades which will be in before the end of the month! We are only the fourth shop to stock this yarn in this country so this really is something unique and exciting! Instead of a special offer this month I have decided to give you a free scarf pattern which you could use with any yarn, but does particularly suit this new yarn, it is quite easy and once you have completed a few rows you will be able to do it without referring to the pattern! Happy Knitting!
