Truck Report 3/16/2012

Good morning, Woolfans!

We hope you've had a lovely week. It's been busy around here with our annual March Madness fabric sale -- 30% off fabric on the roll and discounts of 30-50% off on our tables of pre-cut yardage. Stop by and see us before the end of the month to take advantage of these awesome deals.

In the midst of all the madness, the Pendleton truck delivered 200 pounds of fuzzy selvage and 200 pounds of blanket header for your crafting pleasure.

What are your weekend plans? We've got some great classes over the weekend if you'd like to join us: the Fantastic Folding Chair on Saturday, and Blanket Binding for Beginners and the Michelle Bag on Sunday. Visit the Classes tab at the top of the page to find out more.

Puppy Love!

Say hello to our newest four-legged friend, Tashy. (Hope we're spelling that right!)

We are always happy to have well mannered, leashed pups visit the store. Tashy would make a pretty good product model, don't you think? Or maybe an industrious spinner could make some yarn with all that fluffy fur...

Truck Report 3/9/2012

Good morning, wool lovers! (See how we changed it up there? Let's see who's paying attention...)

It's fantastic to have some sunshine for a Friday morning... and great to be back on our usual schedule of scrap delivery. The big Pendleton truck dropped off 250 pounds of fuzzy selvage this week.

Just a reminder: we've got our monthly Community Craft Night coming up on Wednesday, March 14th -- grab a project and come out for some social time while you work.

Have a great weekend!

Truckless Report 3/2/2012

Good morning, WoolFans!

We are truckless this week, since the big Pendleton truck went up to Puyallup for Sew Expo this weekend.

The bins of selvage (particularly blanket weight) and premium wool strips are still nice and full for your crafting pleasure.

Check Out the Midnight Magic Semi-Finalists

The Independent Pattern Company Alliance (IPCA) -- which features some of our favorite independent pattern makers like Saf-T-Pockets, Kayla Kennington, and Petite Plus Patterns -- is excited to reveal the semi-finalists in the Midnight Magic Contest.

If you'll be at Sew Expo in Puyallup, WA this weekend, you can take a look at the Midnight Magic semi-finalists in person. Visit IPCA Member booths on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday to view and vote for your favorite garments, or check out the show on the Expo Runway, 2nd Floor Pavilion on Sunday at 12:30.

If you can't make it to the Sewing and Stitchery Expo this weekend, you'll still have a chance to view and vote on the semi-finalists. Starting March 6th, you can see the semi-finalists' creations on BurdaStyle.com.

Puyallup, Here We Come!

You can catch the Woolen Mill Store staff in two places this week:  at the store as usual and at the nation's largest Sewing and Stitchery Expo in Puyallup, WA!  The fun starts Thursday, March 1st.

The big Pendleton truck left bright and early this morning, chock full of fabric, notions, carded wool, patterns, craft kits, and other delights.

Will we see you in Puyallup?
