AllFreeCrochetAfghanPatterns Giveaway: Patons Divine Yarn

March 9, 2012 by AllFreeCrochetAfghanPatterns 3 Comments

AllFreeCrochetAfghanPatterns is giving away not one but three skeins of Patons Divine Yarn to one lucky winner! This is the perfect yarn for afghans because it’s thick yet extremely soft (I keep resisting the urge to pet the skein on my desk!). You’ll love making spring afghans and throws with this awesome product! What makes this yarn so special is that it is blended with mohair, making it extremely comfortable and light. Who wants a big, scratchy afghan during the hot spring and summer months? The neutral color of this yarn makes it ideal for any style of home decor – there’s nothing worse than a bold afghan in an understated space (or vice versa).

Use a J hook for your afghan projects – this yarn is bulky and requires a larger hook. Because this yarn is a delicate blend of fibers, it is important to take extra precautions. Hand wash your crochet pieces and lay them flat to dry (not too tough, right?). Patons Divine Yarn is a great crochet companion – the thick yet soft texture makes it ideal for afghans!

Enter to win now. This giveaway ends March 20.

Moonlight Yarn Madness & Knit & Crochet Movie Night

August 31, 2011 by TheCrochetCrowd Leave a Comment

Spinrite Yarn Factory Outlet, makers of Bernat, Phentex, Lily Sugar’n Cream, and Patons Yarns is holding another Tent Sale on September 15, 16 and 17th, 2011.

Spinrite's Factory Outlet Store.

Massive Tent & Truck Sale at Spinrite Factory Outet in Listowel Ontario. Come early as the crowd that come create really long lines to get in on the deals.

Spinrite is located in Listowel Ontario Canada. In the last tent sale, people are traveling as far as Cape Bretton, Texas, Vancouver, and much more. They have made the event as part of vacations. As you can see, the level of enthusiasm at the annual event is absolutely out of this world. Meet one of my fans in this video that came to the Tent Sale in August.

This is the first time a 2nd tent sale is going to be done within a year. I will tell you that the stock that is being offered this time around is completely new and wasn’t available for the 1st Tent Sale. Truck loads of these new yarn lines are arriving and they need to clear it out to make room in the warehouse for new yarn lines.

They are calling it a sale but it’s practically a yarn giveaway at the prices that they are offering. For more information about the location of this sale you can go to YarnFactoryOutlet.com.

OH YEAH… the last tent sale was to have a movie and knit out night in our PJ’s. For those who attempted it a few weeks ago, you know it rained so hard it nearly blew us all away. It’s been rescheduled for Friday September 16, 2011. Check out the website or subscribe to their newsletter to have the monthly newsletter sent to you so you can see the juicy details and be first to know what’s happening!

If you would like to get your hands on some great free crochet patterns. Be sure to go to AllFreeCrochet.com.

Yarn Mania at Bernat

August 24, 2011 by TheCrochetCrowd 1 Comment

I was a guest feature at Spinrite’s Yarn Mania that is held once a year. Yarn Mania is a really tame expression in comparison to the shoppers loading up Garbage Bags of yarn in the huge tent outside of the Factory Outlet in Listowel Ontario Canada. The Factory Outlet is within steps of the actual manufacturing of Bernat, Lily, and Patons Yarn Products.

Bernat's Yearly Factory Outlet Clearance.
Spinrite, makers of Bernat & Patons, clears out yarn in mass once a year in Listowel Ontario Canada. It’s a feeding frenzy of yarn sales.

I’ve never been before but I heard it’s absolute yarn chaos. The tent is hopping mad as people stuff their bags. Some people stuff up to 10 Garbage Bags or more of yarn and are making several trips to the Car. Don’t worry though, they left their husbands behind as that is great use for two extra bags of yarn in the passenger seat!

 
The weather started off really great and then as the day progressed turned as the skies opened up and torrential rain fell. Thank goodness everything was protected by the tent. As we packed up our things, Diva Dan was drenched right to the bone. It hasn’t rained in our region for nearly 6 weeks and so this is very much welcome!
 
This was so much fun, I can’t wait for next year! The laughs, the sharing, and deals make for a wonderful day!

Spinrite’s Yarn Mania Event

July 15, 2011 by TheCrochetCrowd 1 Comment

Spinrite in Listowel Ontario Canada is having their annual Tent Sale. From August 15th – 27th.

JUST RELEASED FLYER IS HERE. See prices of blow out yarn products, event details and much more.

It is thee sale of the year to attend as prices are shockingly low. Retail stores aren’t going to want you to know about this sale. Thousands of people show up on the first day to have first choice. I hear it’s a crazy fun sale.

I will be at Spinrite in the middle of the two week event. On Saturday August 2oth, I will be there along with my several people demonstrating and loving the fibre arts.

Hope to see you there!
