New from Hedgehog Fibres

Not only do we have all the new Hedgehog Fibres colors in stock for you, but we also have some awesome limited edition sets for April! We have three new mini skein sets- Petunia Pop, Moody Monet and Sunset Highway. All can be found here.

Last month's two sock sets were gone in a day, and for April I have two new ones- the Dandy Daffodil sock set featuring the new Bijou color and a limited edition mini from Hedgehog Fibres and the Mythic Maze sock set with a full sized skein from LITLG and a coordinating mini from Hedgehog Fibres. Gosh, how I love them so.

What else is coming this week? We hope to see more of our Life in the Long Grass boxes trickle thought Customs, and we hope to see more Colossal Sock from Dream in Color at the end of the week.

Many of our dyers who had larger operations had to close up shop for now, and several mills around the world that I know of are shut down as well. Many larger companies are also closing this week, so we will continue getting yarn in from dyers that are operating out of their home studios or are able to social distance while working (much like we are) and stagger their time in the studio/warehouse. Several of the dyers and artisans I work with have more time to work on projects with us than they usually would, so we have some really cool things on the horizon for late spring/summer. As our 15th anniversary celebration approaches in May, we will continue to plan and take the whole celebration online. Usually we have a birthday party in person too, but that late-May shindig will have to be postponed. Sadly, we had to cancel the big weekend we were planning (but you didn't know b/c we didn't announce yet!), which included designer Casapinka coming to teach classes and help people in the shop pick stuff out for her awesome designs. I hadn't shared that yet with anyone, and I'm pretty bummed about it. But she and I will work together to plan something else that is party-worthy for all of you!

Thank you for the busy time you're giving us this week as we send you out the cute free totes we are offering. Your support in this time makes all the difference. And the kind notes you're putting on your orders help too!

Good Morning Allison, Here we are, the last day of March. It’s a slow morning for me. Just trying to wake up and decide how I will spend my day. Of course there will be knitting to do. Maybe work on a pair of socks that I have started or add a few more rows on the Hitofude Cardigan. Waiting on clue #2 (tomorrow) for Brioche Lockdown School and yarn order for Odyssey Shawl KAL at SSYC.
Stay In, Stay Safe.
Many Thanks and Warm Hugs.

My birthday was in March, and it was at the time everything was just starting to be cancelled. Everything my kids enjoy has been cancelled also, from swimming lessons to all the state playgrounds. Also stuff one of them doesn't like, such as school :)

My friend who was diagnosed with COVID-19 had to celebrate her birthday and get her diagnosis at the same time. Fortunately, she has been cleared by the public health department as recovered as of yesterday. She got pretty sick, and I am so thankful she made it through.
