Celebrate Mardi Gras by shopping for yarn at Bobbin's Nest Studios in Santa Clara. Tuesday, March 8th, Bobbin's Nest Studios are having a Mardi Gras sale on everything in their store.
On Tuesday, visit the Bobbin's nest and select from their regularly priced, in stock merchandise. At the register, after they have totaled your purchases, you will get to pick a doubloon from their Mardi Gras grab bag. Depending on the color of the doubloon you pick, you can receive a discount from 15-40% off your entire purchase. What a great opportunity for knitters to indulge their decadent yarn addictions affordably.
Also at Bobbin's Nest, all their Mission Falls Yarn is 40% off. This is definitely a Mardi Gras sale not to be missed. The sale is all day Tuesday starting at 11am, and Bobbin's Nest will stay open 1 hour later closing at 7pm rather than 6pm. Visit the Bobbin's Nest Studios website for more information.
