New in Nangellini

I now have several beautiful handbags created by local artists. They are felted knit and crocheted wool. Some are plain, some with gorgeous embellishments; all are handmade with love.
Also new are the ponchos and wraps I have been creating.
I am currently uploading photos to www.nangellini.com At present, there are many hats and hat/scarf sets available for viewing and purchase. If you see something you like, please call me for ordering info.


I am anxiously awaiting delivery of my most recent order of recycled silk and banana silk, as well as the new Crushed Velvet (which is viscose, a rayon derrivative which means it started out as wood pulp.)
I am knitting a shrug with the Crushed Velvet now and it is just amazing, it is so silky soft and luxurious to work with.

Also New: We are having a Knitting Circle on Sundays at 3 PM in addition to our Tuesday night Circle. Please stop by and knit or crochet with us!

More Yarn

Just got new Ribbon Yarns in fabulous colors, should be on the shelves this afternoon!

Also added more discount novelties up front in the baskets. 50bs for $2.50 two balls will easily make a scarf or hat!










Finished up several new hats and working on scarves with new mini needles with fancy beads. Several pair still available for $20 or $25 each.



















These were intended for hair sticks, but I like them for scarf needles.

New Yarn is In!

We just received the first batch from Bartlett Yarns, which is a lofty two ply wool that works up the same as any 4 ply worsted. It is just gorgeous, and while I have about 15 colors here, I am due to receive dozens more colors soon. Also from Bartlett, Bulky FIsherman wool. All is in 4 0z skeins @ $6.00 each.
Also, today I received Feather from NY Yarns in Coral Sea $6.50 for 50 g, 76 yards and two colors of variegated Pixie which is a baby yarn. 50 g, 136 yards @ $5.00 each
I plan to have camera to shoot this new yarn tomorrow.

I am very excited about the Bartlett Wool, as I want to try my hand at some intarsia and the rich heather colors lend themselves so well to that.

Pictures in Posts; What a Great Idea!

I am considering using a different hat each time I need to order new business cards. People can start collecting all the different Nangellini hat cards, like trading cards...maybe we can start a trend, who knows. :)

Felted Crocheted Rose Pins 

Thanks for Coming to Crochet Group!

It was fun last night! Thanks for coming! Everyone's working on such great stuff and I love to see the progress from week to week. Next week, bring your drop spindles if you got em.
Personally, I would really like to finish all the WIP I have going, but I can't seem to stop myself from stating new things, too.
Today Stango delivered a small Superman painting and a big Coppertone piece (for my client in Rehoboth Beach.) She is coming to get them tomorrow, so they wont be here long.
It is pretty hot out, so I am chillin' in the AC trying to finish up some more of these started projects. My red handbag is not cooperating so that will have to wait for another day.
This week I plan to order a yarn counter so I can start working with all the Silk City yarns I bought, and I will bring the spinning wheel into the store, too, so I can spin and ply durring the slow times.

My Cafe Press store is open! You can order lots of fun things that say "It takes balls to crochet like this!" (or knit if you prefer.)

Crochet MeetUp Tonight!

Come on down tonight for our Weekly Knit and Crochet gathering! It's nice and cool in the store and we have plently of room!
We get started around 6pm, so grab your knitting/crochet bag and come on down!
Nangellini is located at 832 South Street Philadelphia.
Bring your current WIP and some finished items for show and tell!

Nancy

Getting Started

Well, I have been thinking about blogging for a while now, this seems like as good a time as any to get started!

Here's What's New:

• I am currently finishing a bikini bottom (top is done) with purple/white variegated ribbon from Silk City, as well as a vest/sweater with recycled silk, marroon, teal, forrest and blues
• I have dozens of NEW cones of yarn from Silk City waiting to be plied together and with other fun and funky yarns for novelty one-of-a-kind yarns for consumption and sale in Nangellini.
• I am waiting to hear from Wool in the Woods sales rep for carrying various yarns from their line! I am very excited about this.
• I am getting ready to stock Wilde 50/50 wool mohair yarns and lots of colors of Barlett Yarns, too.
• I still have some 200g hanks of the recycled silk and recycled rayon --that is twice the weight they used to be available. I just love that. Twice the yarn for the same price! Woo hoo!
• Still bringing in more unusual yarns. Will be posting photos soon.
