Next week is Thanksgiving in the US, which means it's a shorter work week and we all typically spend Thursday and Friday (and the weekend if you're lucky!) relaxing, eating great food, and enjoying time with our friends and family celebrating the things we are thankful for. Here in the shop, that means we'll have a super busy beginning of the week, a couple days off, and then we're having a special shop-open day that Saturday to participate in Small Business Saturday. We aren't typically open the Saturday after Thanksgiving, but this year we've decided to give it a try. If you shop in person with us at 1315 E State Blvd in Fort Wayne, Indiana, you'll receive an extra 13% (it's our 13th year!) off on our extensive sale section plus an organic cotton knitter's tote with each purchase.
The sale section in the storefront includes these items, but usually has triple the selection because it's also where we sell premium single skeins that we might have found a snag or knot, missing tag, was discontinued and we have just a few left.... basically all those awesome fiber misfits that we have one or two of or just don't put on the website. It's definitely worth spending some time looking through if you are in the mood for something awesome at a great deal.
Then, if you are going to shop with us online on Cyber Monday (Nov 26), you'll find a new batch of our exclusive Poste Yarn, Select Sock (the link is empty til then).... at the special price of just $16 a skein. This wool/nylon sock yarn is dyed in-house, and usually retails for the low price of $18 a skein (comparable sock yarns are $24+), but you'll get an even greater deal, online only, on Cyber Monday. We just introduced Select Sock this year, and we typically dye big batches and most of the colors are not repeated. There are a few colors we repeat like Werewolves of London, shown below in a Pavement Sweater and matching Sockhead hat. I know many of you have been waiting to snag this color for this purpose, and it will be back!
If you'd like to see colors we've done in the past, you can check out stashes on Ravelry. Or view some beautiful finished projects too. Below is Washed Out by Joji Locatelli in three colors of Select Sock- Girl from Ipanema, Malibu and MacArthur Park.
Then, the first week of December we will be releasing our two Holiday Knit Kits. These include a limited edition yarn, bag and goodies. Here's a little tease of those, with full previews the week following Thanksgiving.
Oh Allison you enabler, you! I LOVE both Christmas kits.... leaning towards the doggy one. Every year your Christmas Holiday Kit is something I buy myself... give it to my kids to “surprise” me on Christmas!!

It’s a shame you can’t find a way to fill your time! LOL, when was the last time you breathed? I’m dizzy just reading all this. Those kits are great, by the way! Really neat fabrics and fabulous stitch markers!
