Super Annex Sale Friday, May 18; may continue through weekend

Your great response to our annex sales has helped us keep our storage room almost under control, but there are still some yarns we need to put on final clearance. So on Friday, May 18, we’re offering a nice selection at a whopping 70 percent off. And if we don’t sell everything on Friday, we’ll continue the sale on Saturday and Sunday—and maybe even add some yarns as we go along. Our annex (actually the storage room across the hall) will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday. If we continue the sale on the weekend, we’ll be open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Just as a reminder, there are no returns or exchanges on Annex Sale yarn.

The pleasure of your company is requested at our May 20 yarn tasting

It’s time for another yarn tasting! Join us on Sunday, May 20, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. In honor of Mad Men (and Cheryl’s latest master’s degree), we’re throwing a 1950s cocktail party. We’re talking yarn cocktails, of course, although the other kind (virgin and otherwise) will be available for no charge, along with a selection of nibbles and a chance to “taste” 10 wonderful summer and all-season yarns. You’ll also receive a coupon good for a 20 percent discount on any or all of them. The event will cost $20. You must register in advance, and we won’t accept any reservations after 5 p.m. on May 18. Only 15 registrations will be accepted, so call us soon at 301-779-3399 or stop by the shop.

Congratulations to prize winner, and thanks to all yarn crawlers

Congratulations to Maureen Gazzo, winner of the drawing for a basket–actually a table full–of prizes from A Tangled Skein! Eight-year-old Caitlin Noyes, daughter of Assistant Manager Jessica Noyes (pictured below), selected Trisha’s entry card from among all the participants in the Metro Yarn Crawl who had at least seven stamps on their cards and deposited their cards with us. Thanks to Bryson Distributing, Classic Elite Yarns, Tahki Stacey Charles and Universal Yarn, who contributed the items in our basket. And thanks to everyone who visited our shop during the second annual crawl, held April 14–22.
