August 2010 Shop Update

IVELISE’S YARN SHOP

AUGUST 2010 SHOP UPDATE

We will be hosting an open house on Thursday, August 19 from 4pm to 8pm for our HANNE FALKENBERG TRUNK SHOW.

In the words of Hanne Falkenberg: “My Own Collection expresses my emancipation from the expectations of the ever impatient fashion world craving for novelties.  Simplicity and quality are keywords to the continuous development of my collection.  Every year I only add a few new models to My Own Collection which gives me the chance to work out each design to minutest detail….Over years some eight hundred of my designs have been published by international yarn suppliers and fashion magazines. To make sure that the qualities I have put into my designs also come true in the hands of knitters and users, I have decided that My Own Collection will be available in ready kits holding pattern, photo and yarn”  11 of Hanne’s designs will be available for you to inspect and try on.  Come join us for a fun evening!
