Tomorrow, Tuesday June 19 we will be releasing the first of our celebratory 13th Anniversary Kits, and this one is a Sip & Knit Kit with works by ceramic artist Charan Sachar and fiber artist Qing Fibre!
We started offering the knit-inspired work of Charan Sachar last year for our 12th anniversary, and it was a huge hit. This is the first yarn shop release of his lace patterned mugs (can you imagine how difficult this lace pattern is to pull off in clay??) and this lilac mug is paired with a special edition colorway from Layla at Qing Fibre of London. I think these two work beautifully together, don't you?
The kit will be linked here (I'll post tomorrow too when it's available, usually mid-morning) and is priced at $82. These sold out very fast last year, so if you miss out on this Lilac Lace Sip & Knit Kit, just know that I have two others coming later this summer plus our traditional Knit Kits that feature handmade bags and accessories.
Another special being released tomorrow is our Poste Yarn Cash Sock Test Kitchen Trio. We offered these once last summer as well, and now is your chance to get them again. What is a Cash Sock Test Kitchen Trio? We have dyed up a beautiful array of tonal colors on our luxurious Cash Sock base in our own Poste Yarn studio. We assemble three colors of our choosing, and we offer them to you at a fabulous price. Instead of paying upwards of $30 a skein for this merino/cashmere/nylon blend, you're paying just $20 each skein, so $60 for the set. This allows us to test out new colors, and gives you a wonderful deal and a beautiful suprise!
Here are a few of the dozens of Trios that we will have. Again, yours will be a surprise. We cannot honor requests like, "I'm not a fan of orange, so please don't send anything close to that." or "I'm hoping for pinks and browns." These sell out fast, so we don't have much control over what we have available when your order comes in. But we do have control over how amazing this fiber is and how perfectly saturated each skein is! Please order if you really do want a complete color surprise on your doorstep.
Did you see our most recent 13th Anniversary flash contest on Instagram? You still have a few hours left to enter. We've done 4 of these over the past 10 days, so get yourself an Instagram account through your app store to take part.

Have you already posted this kit and it's sold out? I'm in the PST and want to stop hitting refresh if there are none left. I SO WANT TO GET ONE!!!!
