We’ve brought two new cotton yarns to our Ingebretsen’s yarn shop! Rauma Petunia Cotton and Rowan Alpaca Cotton. Did you know that 1/3 of Ingebretsen’s physical shop space is dedicated to yarn, craft supplies, clothing, and kid’s items? We call it “Needlework,” a name that harks back to selling lace by the yard and hardanger embroidery supplies (which we still sell!). Our Needlework store at 1605 East Lake Street has been a part of the Ingebretsen’s “block” since the 1990s – it doesn’t hurt that the separate entrance makes sure our Dale of Norway sweaters don’t smell like sausage.
Since then, crafters and knitters have been coming to find unique and authentic supplies to make things with their hands. We carry a variety of Nordic yarns and are very excited to announce that we are bringing in two new cotton yarns, just in time for spring and summer knitting!
The primary yarn brand we carry is Rauma Garn from Norway. With expansive selections for any kind of project, Rauma specializes in wool and wool blends in classic solid colors. Our newest addition is Rauma Petunia Cotton, a lightweight and buttery soft DK yarn in 100% pima cotton. We’ve selected 10 colors, perfect for the season, but we can also special order for your project! Make a plan to stop by, squish, and see how luxurious this yarn is for yourself.
Our other new addition is from Rowan Yarn, out of England. Their new brand, MODE has gorgeous earth tones in a fun mix of textures. We brought in their Alpaca Cotton, a fuzzy sport weight yarn, perfect for holding double to add softness.
We’ve been busy rearranging the Needlework store to make more room for yarn, fun notions and the most practical craft tools. Visit to see what’s new and get a tour of the new set up!
