Happy Socktober! It's the second week of our Socktober celebration and so today we're giving you our second Socktober Surprise! If you enter coupon code SockSale at Check Out (or in the coupon code field of your Cart if you don't want to forget), you'll get an additional 10% off our already reduced Sale Section! This means you'll be getting more than 50% off Regia and other lines that are there. We have 200 options in our Sale Section right now - there are self patterning options, Polwarth wool skeins (that are already marked $10 less than their $28 merino counterparts from the same dyer, LYC), super sized Colossal skeins from Dream in Color (DIC), and beautiful painted options from Cascade (CY) that even have silk. Don't forget to enter coupon code SockSale to get your discount.
This is Urth Yarn's striping DK yarn in color 6019 in the Sale Section (at the bottom of the 2nd page are all the other colors too). It's perfect for a simple cowl for holiday gifts. Maybe this one?
Malabrigo Rasta in Aniversario
What's new this week? Malabrigo Rasta! This is the first time in our 16 years that we have offered a super bulky yarn, but we offer so much Malabrigo and you all asked for it, so I'm happy to oblige! We may have started our journey16 years ago with only sock yarn, but your requests and guidance have helped us offer oh-so-much more. We will typically stick to easy care goods, but I just couldn't resist your urging to offer Rasta, so while it's not machine washable, the price and quality are so great that I couldn't resist. Each skein is 150g so plenty for a hat. But many of the more popular patterns call for two colors to do some colorwork. But this one is likely to be the first on my needles. I think it will help keel me warm (and hopefully cute!) this winter. Need larger needles for Rasta? I'll soon have them on the website too from Addi and HiyaHiya.
Malabrigo Rasta in Carousel
And you know that when we offer a line, we go all in. So you'll be able to see ALL the Rasta colors at SSYC. We have 75% of them today, and the rest are of course in a container out in the middle of somewhere waiting to get here. Such is pandemic importing. But we'll soon have them all so that you can knit all the things.
What else is coming this week? I hinted on Instagram earlier this morning that our SSYC Sock Sets (released at the beginning of the month here) have been so popular that we are going to do some cold weather Hat Sets as well! These are full sized skeins from some of your fave dyers paired with our hand made pom poms. This is a great way to pick a set and have a lovely result without ever wondering "Does this pom go with this yarn?" Yep. It does. And the result will be fabulous. These will be in the Kits & Clubs section.
I hope to have 6 options per month for you this fall/winter, and they will be released mid-month (instead of the beginning of the month for the Sock Sets). I'm super excited about these and hope to have them all up on the website for you at our Kits & Clubs section Tuesday.
Our yarn companies are starting to release their heavier weight sock options, and the first we will have for you (again likely on Tuesday) is Regia's 8ply Snow Color set. This is great for thicker socks and b/c it's a light worsted weight it knits up faster. Really nice for when you want something awesome for a gift and you're in a time crunch too.
I'm sure there's more as well, but this is what's on my mind this Monday morning. I hope you see something that inspires you! Check the blog next week as well to see what our next Socktober Surprise is.
