Welcome! This is our first newsletter with information about what’s happening at the shop & resources that may help refine your craft.The KFS has been an institution for years, but it still amazes me the number of “crafty” people that still don’t know about us or where we are, however with the miracle of the internet, we now sell yarn on Trade Me & Etsy.com under the name “yarn4miles” so some of our best customers have never actually graced our doors. This coming year will be our 25th year in business & we thought it has time for a tart up, so make sure you keep in touch to see what we have been up to.
We will be taking a break over Christmas closing from noon Tuesday December 23rd & reopening Monday January 12th, so make sure you stock up the stash to keep your fingers busy over the festive break.
If you have a knitting question or problem, you are more than welcome to pop in see me on a Wednesday morning, I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to resolve it, but I might be able to point you in the right direction. If anything takes your fancy you can contact me directly via email reception@designspun.co.nz
Finally at the KFS we would like to wish you a very happy & safe festive season & Mary, Suzanne & myself look forward to seeing or emailing you soon.
Cheers Maree
Sea of Colour 
One of the hottest trends in the US right now is hand painted yarn, armed with this knowledge, look what happens when you let Peter loose in Essam’s dyehouse with pots of dye & some delicious Merino yarn. There are 4 different colour stories & the samples so far have knitted up beautifully. I have played & knitted it in the round & you get sone lovely striping (great for socks) & on straights is an explosion of random colour. If you are after some totally unique yarn, not available anywhere else, this is perfect – ideal for children’s’ garments

Hand Painted Merino 50gm skeins $7 each
Forever Green Elan - Organic Merino
This new range has been a labour of love over the past 18 months. It uses the very best organic merino yarn, officially Biogro certified, then loving spun by us & hand dyed in small batches using 100% natural dyes. It comes in seven soft ‘gelato’ colours & a small range of patterns designed specifically for infants. However I have seen an adult garment in this & it is stunning. Come in store & have a look for yourself & plan an heirloom project or something special for someone you love. To see the full range, check out our store on Etsy (http://www.etsy.com/ use 'elan' in the search) feel free to purchase from here if you are from the northern hemishere, for those downunder, contact me direct at reception@designspun.co.nz
