It's going to be a heck of a fall here at SSYC. We're preparing to add a slew of new dyers and companies to the shop and it's shaping up to be a crazy-making time.
Over the next two months, you can expect to see many new hand dyers in the shop plus lines from new companies and collections from our faves, restocks of some of those hard-to-get faves, more Hedgehog Fibres than ever, and an insane amount of beautiful stuff to inspire your craft and enhance your stash.

How do we prepare for such an expansion? First, a lot of coffee. Second, IKEA made a major delivery of new fixtures to the shop. I thought we had as much as we could fit in our 3500 sq ft space, but guess what? Rachael and I devised a new layout that allows us to offer you even more. Now we just have to assemble all these shelves (thankfully, this man will be doing it.... gotta love an adorable, helpful man!), patiently wait for everything to arrive, and then stock everything. It's a crapshoot as to when everything actually gets here, what with much of it coming through Customs.

I seriously can't believe we have so much new stuff coming. It's a super exciting time for me to work with so many new talented dyers. To talk about colors and fiber and finalize a myriad of details. To meet with new reps who bring amazing lines to show off and tiny little color cards to mix and combine and choose. Shown above is one of those lines, Wonderland Yarns, which is the only one I'll reveal at this time. With the most adorable mini skein sets that make me swoon!
And next week you can expect a long awaited new collection- the newest Pairfect Arne & Carlos collection in Regia! Below is the batch we received last time (a pallet!) and this new 6-color collection is even more gorgeous. I can't wait to show it off.

SSYC continues to grow with your support and direction. You are my best guide in what the shop should offer and I always greatly appreciate your feedback and ideas. If you ever want to share ideas and faves with me, you can always e-mail me at service@simplysockyarn.com. SSYC is exactly what you have created over the past 12 years. It's an amalgamation of thousands of knitters' preferences and obsessions, and without you all at the helm, we would be something totally different. Or wouldn't exist at all. It's thrilling to see things expand and change, and I'm so thankful for your part in it!
