A touch of nostalgia
How many of you remember these? Local Suwannee County crocheter, Amy, learned this vintage craft from an elderly neighbor and vowed to continue it into the future! Stop by the shop and see these beautifully handcrafted Southern Belles on consignment. They are less than $30!
Sunday Afternoon Fun
What an awesome Sunday afternoon at the shop. Fellow Yarn Bombers, Victoria Masters; Joan and Sarah Sweetapple; and Bailey Sheffield spent the afternoon on the porch creating Yarn Bomb items and detangling yarn balls for the Free Yarn basket! Every Sunday from 1-5 p.m. COME JOIN THE FUN.
Great Friend and Local Artist Jen Rutters stopped by to hang the shop signs out front and a new one on the back of the building! They are so beautiful I can't believe these are temporary while Jen works on my permanent logo and store sign. So talented!

Happy Saturday
It's been a busy week in the shop. Talking to Alpaca breeders and obtaining locally produced Alpaca is so exciting! It's beautiful and has a lovely hand. Stop by the store and see this all natural product - no dyes! 3-ply DK weight just perfect for a Florida style scarf or hat.

You'll be so glad you learned how to make beautiful handmade items for yourself and family and friends. While you're in the shop, pick up a handmade heart for your Valentine! They are great little $5 gifts.

Welcome to Bella Luna Knits!
The vision of Bella Luna Knits (a small, unique yarn and art boutique located in Fort White, Florida) is to encourage and enable all aspects of creativity, particularly in the fiber arts, but not to exclude any creative/artistic endeavor desired by the local community (50 mile radius at least). I have several consignment plans in the works to include creative handmade jewelry, handmade stitch markers, signs and art by Jen's Designs, and classes and workshops taught by experts in a variety of the arts. I also make and sell all natural Goat Milk and Shea Butter soaps.
At least half the 600 SF store is dedicated learning space. The walls will eventually overflow with yarn and 3x3 cubes as I learn what my customers want to knit and crochet with. There are soooooo many yarns to choose from! So, for a start I have Cascade's Ultra Pima and Ultra Pima Light in gorgeous shades for spring and a few neutrals straight from Pantone, Cascade's Luna (how could I resist) which I've just knitted a store model baby sweater from. It's lovely, and has a nice squishy feel for 100% Peruvian Cotton.
Luna is the yarn my beginning knitting class will use to learn and complete a dishcloth or towel. The first class starts Jan. 22nd. I have gorgeous solids and two paints in Luna. There is a small sampling of Cascade 220 (2-4 skeins each color); a nice selection of Cherub 100% acrylic in worsted and DK weight (think lovely baby blankets and sweaters/hats) in spring solids and multis. Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Worsted in coordinating colors for felting projects and hats (I make my tams in this yarn). Brown Sheep Superwash (but wouldn't you know more than half the colors I ordered are on back order) Heritage Sock yarn in solids and paints (David's Eyes is my favorite paint) Regia Sock Yarn in a mosaic pattern (the other pattern is on back order :) and a wall of Clover Bamboo straights/circs in several sizes and ChiaoGoo Red Lace needles in 16" and 32" circs. most sizes available from 0-15.
The grand opening was fantastic and I want to thank everyone who stopped in, and welcome everyone else to stop by!
