I'm so happy to share a really fun collaboration that came out of our recent sock yarn club- a Monet Collection from Six and Seven Fibers! The theme of our 23rd club is Artist Series and I worked with three dyers to produce colors of their own choosing based on a painter that they find inspirational (this club sold out but we will have a 24th club if you want to e-mail about sign ups in a few months). Usually, I give the dyers a lot more direction in our club colors, but I wanted to give them free reign. For the April club, Rachael at Six and Seven Fibers told me that she recently saw a Monet exhibit and wanted to do a sock set based on Claude's works. If you were enrolled in the club, I'm betting you really enjoyed the set she made. And she and I were so inspired by the endeavor that she created a whole 10-color collection that we wanted to released for SSYC's 15th anniversary! Today, I have the whole collection available for you in full sized merino/cashmere/nylon skeins, singles and minis!
Here are all 10 colors in the collection: Impression, The Avenue, Morning Light, Haystacks, Giverny, Water Lily, Poppy Field, At Sunset, London Fog and Iris Garden. All shown below on Alfalfa MCN. It's a great sock yarn with just a touch of cashmere to make it super soft. If you want to grab single ply skeins for a shawl or sweater, I have Barley Singles too.
I do expect the mini collection to sell out fast. We also often carry her Anne of Green Gables and Harry Potter mini skein sets, and they tend to sell fast too. I have more of all the mini sets coming in about a month, if you want to grab some then too. And if you want full sized Harry Potter or Anne of Green Gables skeins, I have those too on Alfalfa MCN and Barley Singles. If you want to use all the minis in one pattern, I suggest this one.
This is just one way we are celebrating our 15th year of serving you! If you are hoping to get a free celebratory tote with your purchase this weekend (Friday through Monday), I don't recommend waiting to order a mini set or your fave full sized skein til then because I wouldn't be surprised if they are gone by then (of course we'll get more in a month or so though.) And since the free tote bags aren't ready yet, we can't give them out early with orders placed before Friday. So it's up to you if you want to chance it.
