Malabrigo's Here!
Malabrigo has sent us a small order. We have four colors of Rasta and a whole bunch of sock yarn
We have a lot of pattern leaflets, and we are featuring some of them with a discount every week.
Schacht Sidekick
We now have this folding spinning wheel in the shop. It spins quite well and has nice big bobbins and the firm action you expect from a Schacht. Come over and give it a try! |

Events
Gore Place Sheepshearing Festival
Saturday, April 28, rain or shine
10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
We’re getting ourselved organized for the Gore Place Sheepshearing Festival. One of my favorite things about Gore Place is that you can get there on public transportation. If you take the #70 bus from Central Square in Cambridge, it will take you right there. Check mbta.com for more info. Of course, you can drive as well. They have lots of parking. Be sure to stop by our booth and say hello. It is always a great day. |

| Call for Non-Wool Chemo Caps
A customer, Laura, asked if we would collect chemo caps here.
She’s collecting chemo caps in honor of Nicky, a seven-year-old friend who recently had surgery to remove a tumor in his brain and is now facing more than a year of radiation and chemotherapy. She plans to let Nicky choose his favorite caps and donate all others to the hospital where he is being treated, for other children who might need them.
Nicky is a former Somerville resident who now lives in Portugal, where it is quite warm during the summer (that’s why non-wool caps are requested).
You can bring donations by the shop. If you have any questions, contact Laura at lkollett@gmail.com (aprilshowers on Ravelry). |

All Ravelers!
There is now a Mind’s Eye Yarns Ravelry group.
Search for Minds Eye Yarns on Ravelry’s groups
page. (Notice there’s no apostrophe in the group
name.) I’ll be using the group to let people know
about dye days and shop events and to answer people’s
questions. You can use it to ask me questions, make
colorway suggestions (I always love suggestions!) or
just to talk amongst yourselves. |
