Dear friends,
Plaid Friday is almost here, and Downtown Gadsden is trading the big-box chaos for cozy vibes — and you know The Taming of the Ewe is all in.
We’ll be opening early at 9:00am this Friday, November 28, and we’ve packed the day with treats, tea, yarn-y goodness, and some very tempting specials.
Wear Plaid, Sip Free Tea
Show up in anything plaid — scarf, shirt, pants, you name it — and you’ll get a free cup of tea on us. It’s our way of saying thank you for shopping small and keeping our little fiber-and-tea haven humming.

New This Week: Cozy Yarns to Cast On Right Away
We have two brand-new yarns in the shop this week:
???? Wooldorf Bulky from Gusto
- 85% Merino, 15% Mohair
- Bulky weight = quick, instant-gratification projects
- Cozy and full of personality
This yarn is perfect for one of the hottest patterns on Ravelry right now: Sailor Slippers by Annie Germain. If you’ve been wanting a fast, fun project that will keep toes toasty all winter, this combo is a winner.
???? Ella Rae Squish
- DK weight, 56% Polyester / 44% Acrylic
- 402 yards / 150g balls
- Machine wash cold, gentle cycle
True to its name, Squish is incredibly soft and snuggly — ideal for baby blankets, children’s sweaters, and comfort projects that need to be both cuddly and easy-care.
Ask us to show you Wooldorf Bulky and Ella Rae Squish when you come in, and we’ll help you pick out colors and project ideas to match your holiday making list.
