A Rainbow of Pediboo
One of the most popular yarns in the shop is Frog Tree Pediboo in sport weight. Pediboo is a supersoft combination of wool and bamboo that is great for socks, scarves, shawls and anything that needs to be bright and comfortable next to the skin. The solid colors hold up well to regular wear and washings. Each 100 gram skein has 255 yards to work with.

Favorite Colors
When you think about color,
what is the first one to come to mind?
What is your very favorite
color?
Has your favorite color
changed over time?
Color is a personal
thing. Favorite colors and least
favorite colors say a lot about a person.
Choosing a yarn color to work with over a long period of time to make a
sweater or a pair of socks becomes a joyful activity or a trudging one
depending on the color and the texture of the yarn.
Color controls your driving, influences your buying habits and changes your mood.
Red, is action oriented and sensory. Always on the go.
Orange is social, likes to be part of a group and loves physical and mental challenges.
Green is acceptance, acknowledgement and belonging.
Blue is for a deep need to
find inner peace and truth, to live their life according to their ideals and
beliefs
Purple or violet is for a deep need for emotional security and to
create order and perfection in all areas of your life, including your spiritual
life.
Pink is for a deep need to be accepted and loved unconditionally.
Turquoise is for emotional balance in your
life, hopes and dreams and living by your own terms.
Magenta, is a non-conformist who sees life from a different point of view.
Brown is for a
deep need for a safe, secure, simple and comfortable existence.
White is for simplicity in your own life, independence and self-reliance.
Gray is a middle of the road type, cool, conserved, composed
and reliable.
Silver is for intuitive and insightful and have a strong connection
with a higher spiritual guidance.
Gold is charisma, personality and
individuality.

StitchBox!
Surprises that come in the mail are great! Some people even send themselves surprises in the mail just to get that little thrill that comes from the mystery box that suddenly appears. I am talking about those subscription boxes that are all the rage right now. You can find subscription boxes for snack foods, doggy toys, wine, cheese, and yarn too. Yarny surprises delivered right to your door with patterns and needles and sometimes even a goody or two. It's the best fun.
We have a subscription box at the shop now that is getting rave reviews from the regulars. It is top secret until they are mailed out and then everyone is excited to share what they got. They leave comments on the facebook page or email the shop to share how exciting the box was. The secret to each box is that it has items that are not in the shop yet. It is filled with new colors of yarn or new lines of yarn, needles, notions and who knows what else. The items in the box are a lot less than you would generally pay for those same items in a store. That is another plus for subscription boxes. You can count on getting deal with most of these boxes.
Try out a surprise for yourself this month. Pinterest has loads of subscription box posts. Find a box that interests you and try out something new this month.
Here's a link to our offering this month : http://www.juliayarnshoppe.com/
