• AlternaCrafts: a great new book from the bestest of the big publishers Stewart Tabori & Chang. Really great for kids & teens this summer (well, any holiday) or anyone who's a child at heart. Low skill level required, low financial investment, INSTANT GRATIFICATION OVER & OVER & OVER AGAIN. My favourite projects: skully t-shirt, potato-print linens, shaggy rug, skants (skirts that were once pants), & a hat reincarnated from a deconstructed sweater.

• New Stuff on SALE: check out our great deals of soft & luxurious cashmeres, wools, merinos and more
