Check This Out: Thousands of FREE Patterns!!

Good reason to get excited!

We carry most of their yarns in our store: Garnstudio is a Norwegian yarn manufacturer, their yarn lines are called Drops Design, our Canadian supplier is most professional and we usually get within 2-3 days what we don't have in stock.

As professional is Garnstudio's Web site and their beautiful patterns. Any of their patterns which were ever published in books and pattern sheets are now available for free on their web site http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/en. You may select patterns by yarn type or by theme (ladies, men, crochet, baby, children, ponchos, accessories, felted...), print them out and see our store to feel the yarn, purchase it and get assistance!

This is Garnstudio's message:

You find:

  • yarn alternatives given in the patterns
  • color cards for all yarns, to select your colours at home
  • Knitting alternatives (for expl sweater on cable needle or back and front separately)
  • a knitting diagram for each pattern (don't forget to print this separately)
  • new patterns of the last 10, 20, 30 days; so you don't have to go through the whole collection all over

Inge and I selected these pattern photos to make you even more excited! They are for a children's sweater in Italian Velvet, a children's sweater in Alaska with stripes, a pullover in Eskimo, a pullover in Silke-Tweed and a cardigan in Vivaldi with hood.

Some more hints:

Don't get caught in the Norwegian part of the web site. Some messages might come up in Norwegian, but it's easy to get the essentials and you will feel all comfortable in the English site. Some patterns differ for Britain and for North America.

Pam says: "This is the best yarn Web site I came across"

Try it out right away and if you bring in your printed pattern between now and the end of January, you'll get a discount of 15% on your yarn purchase for this pattern!!
