I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! Here in the US, Memorial Day is a time we use to reflect on the brave souls who died while serving our country. It marks the start of summer, and many use the weekend as a way to celebrate with family and friends with grilling out, attending parades and patriotic events, or simply taking time to reflect on what we love and appreciate in our lives. This year, I spent time away with my family, and we remembered my grandfather who fought in WW2 and passed last year after a long, good life. His wife, my grandmother, is the one who taught me to knit and set me on this path of owning a yarn shop and growing a business in the fiber arts. Without them, I would never be celebrating 12 years as a yarn shop owner.
So let me share what you can expect this summer from SSYC! This summer's 12th anniversary celebration is bringing with it a crazy amount of yarn and goodies. Here are a few things you may have been waiting for:
- New colors of Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks that Rock Lightweight- the summer hues coming in June
- Our biggest shipment yet of Hedgehog Fibres. After it was dyed, it literally took them DAYS to pack up. In about two weeks, I'm betting you'll see it all hit the website. Including one-off potluck colors on Skinny, Sock and Merino DK.
- More Irish yarn from Life in the Long Grass
- Yarn Love, oh the Yarn Love- likely in mid-June with so many new colors
- More from Hue Loco and Swift Yarns
- New colors from Opal Yarn, in addition to the My Sock Design that arrived last week
- 12th Anniversary Sip & Knit Kits- FOUR different mugs and dyers! Here's a peak at the first one.
- The crazy good $20 150g skein deal from Blue Moon Fiber Arts - coming in mid-June
- A wide array of needles from HiyaHiya
- SSYC's 12th Yarniversary Party!!
I can't believe there's so much going on in the shop in the next couple months! And this is just the stuff that's on the tip of my brain! I cant' wait to get all this yarn on my needles and in my stash... and of course share it with you.
