It's Back to School Time !

August 2009

Kids are trying to get in as much last minute summer fun as possible. Moms, if you’re breathing a sigh of relief, don’t feel guilty. Back-to-school time gives you every excuse to get back to your needles and/or hooks, check out the new Red Heart® yarns and rev up your favorite creative pastime. With the start of a new school year comes many fall sporting activities and the need to show your team spirit. Our new Team Spirit book gives you plenty of ideas to sport the colors of your favorite team.

While you’re gearing up with new back-to-school fashions, remember to keep it green and help us in Saving the Planet One Project at a Time. Red Heart® Eco-Ways™ Bamboo Wool blends wool with sustainable bamboo, giving you a soft medium weight yarn in 10 colors. It is also excellent for felting, a fun idea for purses, messenger bags or other back-to-school accessories.

Once the back-to-school frenzy wanes, our Red Heart Forums can be your getaway, the ideal place for you to sit back, relax and chat with other yarn lovers . . . and wait for the school bus to return home.

From my heart to yours,
