DO THE AFGHAN-A-PALOOZA!

We're blowin' it out for the second summer in a row! The Great Balls Afghan-A-Palooza is back and better than ever! Thanks to our friends at Ironstone Yarns, we have a stunning array of knitted Decorator afghans exhibited in all four stores. If you enjoy working on a large needle and want to make a fast holiday gift, their Decorator Mohair Throw kit is for you! Worked up on a size 35 needle, you'll have that baby done by dinnertime!

All our afghan kits--Ironstone, Colinette, Prism, Solamente...are all 25% off--even special orders.
If you enjoy a more custom project stop in and pillage through our color coordinated mixed bags. All mixed bags are assembled by color and marked at an OBSCENELY discounted price--but wait--that's not all--we're taking an additional 40%off on top of that at the register. Wow-Wee! If you find colors you like in the Mixed Bags, you can pair them up with other yarns which are all on sale at 25%off throughout the store too. Muy Cool, Amigas! The Afghan-A-Palooza goes on through August 15th so hurry in while the selection is at its best!

Check out this fabulous throw knitted by my friend and very talented next door neighbor, Miss Linda. Isn't it a lovely work of art? It's a gift for her sister-in-law, a very special lady from north Florida. The colors will match splendidly with her bedroom decor.

Have fun and enjoy the Palooza Girls! xo RT

BIMINI TWIST and BOWS!

Here's an easy knit and an interesting idea! This lovely white afghan, modeled by Eileen and Marla, was created by one of our elegant Boca ladies. Worked up in our exclusive Robin Turner Bimini Twist, this washable wonder was a straight garter stitch piece finished with slip-stitch Hanah silk stripes and embellished with bows. There one lucky teenage granddaughter out there who will enjoy cuddling up with this pretty project! :)

NEW JITTERBUG COLORS!



FINALLY! WE'RE OPEN IN STUART!!

At last! For those of you in the "northern frontier," Great Balls of Yarn has opened its doors up in the Treasure Coast in the lovely town of Stuart. It was an ordeal--a hot and sweaty one--but hopefully you will find it worth the wait! Located in the Regency Square Shopping Center on Route 1, our pretty store is nestled between Toojay's Gourmet Deli and the Regal Cimenas. We're just a few doors away from Stein Mart. Check out these pics and look for new and exciting goodies to arrive daily. Until the "season" begins, we'll be here to serve you Tuesday through Friday from 10 to 5 and Saturdays from 10 to 4. Beth, our friendly manager and crochet expert is looking for another helper so if you know of a knitter looking for some part-time work, let her know. Hope you like the store as much as I do! :)
