We have so much festive cheer up in here! I don't think we've ever had this array of holiday options in the shop in all our 18 years. Three Knit Kits, three Sip & Knit Kits, a multitude of sock sets and striping yarns, mini skein sets galore.... Santa's bag was full of holiday cheer and he delivered it here! This is now live at the Kits & Clubs link. If you are coming in the shop today to shop our week long Holiday Yarn Party, I recommend ordering these online before you come in because much of this is sure to sell out very fast.
We have not just one Holiday Knit Kit this year, but three! Each comes with limited edition yarn, a hand made oversized sock project bag (holds two skeins) from Mommy Sews, and handmade stitch markers. Here's a little tease of each.
The Surfin' Santa Knit Kit and Christmas Cottage Knit Kit both come with a Zebra Sock skein from Irish studio Life in the Long Grass paired with a mini skein from Emma's Yarn. I love the idea of wintery socks with bold toes and heels, don't you?
Then we have all the Barbie vibes with the Pinkmas Cheer Knit Kit. Isn't this skein from Hedgehog Fibres just perfectly Barbie Christmas? We have skeins in Skinny Singles and DK Merino, if you want more in other bases. This kit comes with Sock. Hedgehog also released the Snowy colorway on all their bases too.
During our Christmas in July event, our Baaah Humbug Sip & Knit Kits sold out within hours, so we have all three back with the same sock sets from The Sheepy Shire. What's a Sip & Knit Kit? You get one of our Baaah Humbug mugs, yarn and two stitch markers with each set. Want the sock sets without the mug and markers? We have that this time around too. We also have skeins without minis too in Santa's Day off, Christmas at the Campground and The Elves Have Left the Building.
Countdown to Christmas, for all us Hallmark holiday movie lovers
Griswold Family Christmas Tree, I mean COME ON. So cool.
White Christmas, which happens to be my fave holiday movie
Gonzo, AKA Charles Dickens.... for all the Muppet fans!
Yippee Ki Yay, if you know you know
Polar Express
We'll also have a really stunning array, shown above of yarn in Sock and Sport from The Sheepy Shire in all their new holiday hues that are inspired by Christmas movies and pop Christmas culture (some shown above). Think movies like Muppets, White Christmas, Home Alone, Die Hard.... we have them all! I want a lot of them myself, but I'll wait a day or two so you can get yours before I snag mine LOL! Seriously, I am considering snagging them all for my stash to knit for the right person at the right time.
And some festive sock sets from The Sheepy Shire too! Many of these we have knit up photos of too, so it gives you an idea of what the fabric of your finished project might look like.
The dudes at Leading Men Fiber Arts not only sent us their holiday skeins, but also their 2023 holiday color paired with a mini for the perfect sock set! Isn't it fab? Isn't Reindeer games, above, fab?
Sisters Emma and Aspen have sent the vivid vibes of a Florida holiday with their new minis and holiday hues! Mini sets are great for putting in larger projects or tearing apart to use as color accents for toes and heels in socks, a stripe in a shawl or sweater, etc. I tend to tear them apart, but I know many of you love to use them for all the advent style patterns like this new one from Casapinka. You could easily use a pale or dark full sized skein with one one these mini sets for a fab result.
And if you want just a bit of cheer, you can go with a Bundle of Joy, five minis in a holiday theme.
We also have Dancin' & Prancin', the new holiday color from Emma's. Plus Christmas Sprinkles is back too!
Katie at Yarn Love has not only sent us mini sets and sock sets, but we have a new yarn set to use for making the cool Christmas Cracker Hat! Isn't this just adorable? She knit this hat last Christmas and had so many requests for the yarn that she put these together for us. It doesn't include the pattern so get yours here, and you can choose a pom if you'd like one. We have SO MANY options!
Want more hat options? How about these? The first two feature yarn from Irish studio Life in the Long Grass and I love that each focuses on either red or green, not both. So they are perfectly wearable all the time for sure.
We also have our Caroling Hat Set back which features an Unwind DK skein from Madelinetosh. you just pull at the end of the knitted rope and unravel it that way. Super cool, right?
Do you love stripes as much as I do? Then you'll pounce on the holiday striping sock sets from Night Owl Fibres. We had these for Christmas in July and they went fast, so we have them back for you plus a few more that are new to 2023.
We also have faves from Cascade Yarns and West Yorkshire Spinners.
WYS's new holiday yarn is Nutcracker and it comes with a pattern so just respond to your emailed receipt and ask and I'll send it right to you.
I think this about covers all the holiday greatness we have for you! You might see a few more things trickle up on that link that I may have missed, and as usual if you have questions, please email me, Allison, at [email protected]. We usually ship within 24 hours, but during busy times like this, we appreciate your patience as it could take an extra day or two. Some things do sell out really fast, some last a day, some longer. So if there's something you see here that will really bring you joy, please don't hesitate to not only add it to your cart asap, but actually Check Out because it can get cart-jacked. We would love it if we always had just enough for everyone, but these makers and dyers are busy people who can't set aside two entire months of time to make us all the things, as much as we'd love that! So what we get of these jolly goods is all we get until Christmas in July or next Christmas... and many of these are one-time only. It's the nature of handmade goods. Thank you for understanding! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
