First off, our Butterfly Blossom Knit Kit has now gone live, so please go here if you'd like a limited edition skein of BFL Sock from Mineville Wool Project, and hand made and fully reversible linen canvas bag (that holds a 3 skein project), and some adorable yarn ball stitch markers. Because of the hand made nature of each part of the kit, the quantities are limited and it will likely sell out fast. I do have some wonderful fall and Halloween themed kits for the first or second week of October too, should you miss out on this one. I'll tease those in a month.
Now, onto a yarn that I recently tested and loved so much that I not only ordered it in dozens of colors, but I'm also offering it to you at a September Special price of $5 off. Instead of $28, it's $23 a skein in our Sale Section until the end of the month. I will likely continue carrying this yarn after that, but at the regular retail price and only if I can get it predictably. Many hand dyers and even large companies like Tosh and Hedgehog Fibres are out of their yarns to dye right now and there's not and end yet in sight for the shortage due to mills closing, understaffing industry-wide due to COVID-19 restrictions and importing issues and horrible timelines and costs. More details on all this here on the blog at a later time.
Here are a few of the combos I like. If there's a combo you think you might like from the several dozen colors I have, grab it b/c these colors all seem to work together beautifully and b/c I'd hate to see something you really like sell a minute after you put it in your cart. Just go for it. If you want to wait to wait to get a confirmation from me about how your color choices work together, I'm always happy to help at service@simplysockyarn.com. But keep in mind that your choices could sell out before I can get eyes on it (social distancing and all).
If you liked the Frida color I've been knitting, I have that one too. I adore my shorty socks. Just use a little leftover contrasting yarn for your toes and heels if you want them to pop like mine.
I also have many of these colors on other bases from Less Traveled Yarn like 757 Sock and Sport, should you not be the tweed type. But come on, you know you wanna be!
What else might you like to order? How about the new Sock It set from Dream in Color? The September set is inspired by autumn in Paris, and dang it sure invokes all the wanderlust feelings, doesn't it? If you want to travel somewhere but can't, this might tide you over until you can safely enjoy.
Urth Yarn has created their next wildlife inspired sock yarn, a Zebra stripe! You might have snagged one of the Tiger kits earlier this summer (and I have more for you of that too), and here's your opportunity to preorder the Zebra. If you order it now, you're saving your place to get it shipped out in 2-3 weeks when it arrives here. You're welcome to order other things on the same order, but those will also ship with the Zebra in 2-3 weeks. If you want them to ship separately (rest of the yarn now, and Zebra later) make sure to order in two separate orders. If you don't want to preorder it and pay now to save your place, you can simply wait until we have enough to sell in the shop. I expect that to be about a month from now.
I hope you find something today that give you hours of enjoyment and relaxation. That's what I need my knitting for right now- I love this simple project I finished in just two days over the weekend. It gave me such a sense of accomplishment that I so dearly needed.
