West Yorkshire Spinners is offering FIVE holiday colors this year. The bottom three are re-releases of colors we have had in previous years (I'm so glad to see the middle Candy Cane stripe back!) and the top two are sparkle sock yarns. The one on the right is the Fairy Lights from two years ago but now in a glittery ball (which I think is a fab edition) and the Silent Night on the left is new for 2020 and also sparkled.
I'm told these will start shipping to us later this week, and if the shipping gods see fit to not cause us any delays we could have these on the website by the end of the month. I do believe I'll be able to get these all season, so if you do see these sell out, I do think we can get them all back. We had the Holly Berry Holiday and the Christmas Robin colors a couple months ago as part of our Christmas in July event.
Our Christmas in July event was so fun for us and I got so much feedback from you that it was fun and cheery as well that I decided to do a Fall Festival in October when we feature Halloween and fall colors, limited edition sets and skeins and all sorts of goodies that will help you feel good about fall. Since all the fall fiber festivals were canceled, I wanted to give you a way to still feel that excitement and levity. And I wanted to support our dyers whose businesses often depend on shows to make their money. They can't sell at these events, so we need to find another way to make sure they keep going, right?
Here's a tease at some of the cutie stitch markers that will come with some of the limited edition yarns. I'll keep teasing you with pictures here and there until mid-October when we have our online event.
And Iβm going to be needing those foxy stitch markers!!

Holy cow those are cute! My whole family and I are sad about no Wool Gathering at Young's Dairy Farm this upcoming weekends. It's a big festival here in Ohio. The farm always has activities like mini golf, a driving range, batting, go karts, corn maze, pumpkin patch, plus there's a cheese store, an ice cream store, a cafeteria, a restaurant, dairy barn, food truck and fiber animals! They have as much fun as I do. Except not this year :(
