On Monday we will be offering our 2020 Valentine's Day Knit Kit, and while it's super sized, the price definitely is not. The bag and the skein are larger than we usually offer, the price is actually lower, at just $56. We've offered Valentine Knit Kits for 10 years now, so I think that's a good way to celebrate! You'll find it at the Kits & Clubs link mid-morning EST on Monday.
This Love Note Knit Kit was inspired by this awesome knitter's fabric. Angie at DnA Designs created this reversible box bag that really shows off both fabrics quite well. It easily fits a three skein project and sets upright on its own so you can knit right out of it or use it for cute storage on a shelf.
Veronica at Dream in Color created the Love Note colorway to go with, and the color reminds me of a Valentine version of a graphic novel. It's not overly sweet, but instead is a fun and modern option, right? She dyed it on the Colossal Sock that's an exclusive base to us. It's 150g of heavy fingering weight yarn (525 grams) and you may have seen it in our Sale Section a couple times in the past few months if you were fast enough. We will have several dozen colors back in the Sale Section for you in mid-February.
To go with, I have for you a set of cute, pink yarn ball stitch markers. And, of course, I have to include a little sweet treat. I'm a bit obsessed with these suckers right now- they are strawberry cream flavored and are just big enough to quell my sweet tooth, but they aren't so big that they last more than five minutes. So I'm just gifting a couple in your package from me to you.
I'm really proud of this Knit Kit. There's something about the colors that I can't get enough of, and I love that we were able to find two such cool knitting-themed fabrics so you can display your love of your craft. But I'm most proud of the cost. I love when I can offer a kit that's lower priced than normal so that more people can take advantage of it. And the fact that both the bag and the skein are larger sized than normal too, well, win- win!
if you want to add some things to your kit so that you qualify for free US shipping, or just want to fill that flat rate international box as full as possible, I really suggest our exclusive Valentine color from Stitch Together Studios. I've shown it paired above with the Plump color from Hedgehog Fibres. If you want more color pairings, check out the blog from earlier this week.
We also have the new Opal Jazz collection PLUS the 28-mini-ball collections back in stock. I mean, look that them! They are so tiny and cute!
If you love Malabrigo, our latest big shipment just arrived and it's beautiful. And if you want a fab deal on DK weight, I have more Merino DK from Mineville Wool Project in the Sale Section for you. Shown below in Paris. This stuff sells fast, but I have the second half of my order making its way through Customs in the middle of next week. Fingers crossed.
Finally, if you haven't added a skein of To Australia with Love to your stash yet, we've sold out of half of what we have and it might be the last of it for us. I blogged about this color earlier this week if you'd like to learn more.
We'll be doing a free pattern with purchase next week too, so you'll get the Sweetest Heart sock pattern e-mailed to you a few days after your order!
Love the Valentine kits!!! hope I can get in in time.....
