Snow Day - Free Shipping!

It's a snow day here in NE Indiana and Simply Socks Yarn Company as we got 11" of snow overnight with drifts of three feet in many areas. No school, shops and restaurants closed until the city can plow, and I figure now would be a fun time to offer a free shipping coupon code. I mean, we're all pretty sick and tired of being stuck at home and now here's another reason? And why should kids get all the fun on a snow day? So if $6 US shipping has been keeping you from ordering those two Opal Yarns you wanted, or if you just want one thing to lift your spirits instead of $100 to get free shipping, have at it! The code to enter at Check Out is FreeShipFeb. Just copy and paste it into the Coupon Code field and you're all set to go (it has to be at least $8 to qualify). Don't forget to enter it at Check Out if you don't want to pay for shipping. And, as usual, if you order more than $100 and it ships to a US address, you can choose free shipping at Check Out.

I don't know how long I'll keep this code active. Likely the end of this week. I think this is the first time in 15 years that we've offered free shipping. If you do decide to place more than one order in a day and aren't sure if you are, it would be nice to put a note in the note/comment section on the Check Out page letting us know you're thinking of ordering more today or tomorrow, so we can hold onto that order and ship it all together to save us some $ on shipping. We like to save $ too!

Sorry to international customers, because I can't offer free shipping or even a distount to you right now. In many places there is a helfty surcharge and we've even had to stop shipping completely to a few countries for now because of crazy shipping fees or completely unreliable pandemic-related shipping issues. We've covered that extra cost all pandemic-long, so we just can't take on more for that.

What might you like to order today? Pashmina. Pashmina. PASHMINA. I just can't get enough of squishing all this stuff. We have the best selection we've ever had of this merino/cashmere/silk blend, and if you want to knit a great Wurm Hat, this would be decadently fab. It's also great for sweaters and luxurious accessories. Here's my blog about Pashmina color options for the 4-color Botanique shawl that Casapinka is releasing on the 19th, so be sure to check back if you want inspiration. Here's just one of the color ideas in Scarlet, Grapefruit, Porches Be Like and Not Sorry.

We also have a great stock of Opal and West Yorkshire Spinners right now, all Madelinetosh, and if you'd like to try something new, how about the Backyard Chicken sets from Hue Loco? Shown below in the Cemani Rooster colorway.

As always, we have a stunning selection of all the colors I can get my hands on of Hedgehog Fibres, Madelinetosh and Malabrigo. You're sure to see something to make a fun Sockhead Hat or Hermione's Everyday Socks in one of these, right? Shown below is Hedgehog Fibres sock yarn in Comeback.

Did you get a crazy amount of snow where you are? We got a lot a few weeks ago, and just got another foot last night. We don't usually get that much snow at a time here in Indiana. Maybe a few inches here and there. My boys are definitely enjoying this day off, even though they just had four days off for Presidents Day weekend. They have had a pretty epic five days off with lots of playing in the snow and sledding with their friends. And today I paid them $7 to shovel our driveway. So I know they are going to whine about going back to school tomorrow after having such a fab five days of sledding, video games, movies (War with Grandpa was great), hot cocoa and snuggles.

We got between 4-6" here in southern Indiana. That's the most we've gotten at once in a long time. Like you we've had an inch or2 several times this season. And more on the way! I love it. It's been a long time since we've had a real winter.

You guys can keep the snow! We are supposed to get another ice storm this week. That blasted Sir Walter Wally was wrong! It is supposed to be spring. Fortunately my Emma's Yarn was in the mailbox Sat so I'm ready for Botanique to go live. Thank you, Allison, for making that available to us. Now if the lights will just stay on. Fingers crossed.
