Welcome to Kirtland's Yarn Barn!

20 July 2008

If you can't find what you're looking for, . I have lots of stuff in the store that is not online. If I don't have it, I may be able to get it or help you locate it.

I now have an RSS feed that will announce additions to the website (as well as occasional other news).

Sale! New items were added to the sale page on 20 July.

Noro's new Silk Garden Sock Yarn is now in stock. I have all 8 colors of this wool/silk/nylon/mohair blend that knits at 6.5 sts/in on a US #3 needle.

I also have Janel Laidman's The Eclectic Sole, a new book featuring 14 sock designs.
