Over the next three Monday's, we'll be releasing our holiday themed fibery goodies. Each Monday will be something different, and I'll preview each offering on the Friday before (the Friday post changes into this post on Monday). What can you expect? Christmas Knit Kits, wintery sock sets, one-of-a-kind fades, striping skeins and more. Oh so many ways for you to celebrate the season of good cheer!
Here's what we'll have for you today, Monday, November 22 at the Kits & Clubs link. First, we have some stunning 5-skein fade sets from Hedgehog Fibres. We have just one each of the fade sets, and each is made of their Potluck skeins. I have 10 different sets on Sock and Skinny Singles. I'm showing off just a few here, but all can be seen on Instagram - here for the 10 Sock Potluck Fades, and here for the 10 Skinny Single Fades. Each type of yarn is fingering weight, but the Sock is a plied yarn with a bit of nylon and the Skinny Singles are a 1ply superwash merino with no nylon (so great for projects other than socks- gorgeous but not as durable). This is a way to get something truly special to knit yourself a fade sweater or shawl or break them up into smaller projects like a three skein fade and then use the other two skeins for socks or cowls or whatever you like.
Hedgehog Fibres has also sent us a batch of our exclusive holiday color, Merry and Bright, which is no easy thing to get an Irish import right now. So that makes this small batch even more special, in my books. This is the only chance to get this color until the next holiday season. You'll find it in the Kits & Clubs section while we have it.
Today also brings the first two (of four total) Holiday Knit Kits! First, the Fa La La Festival Knit Kit with the cheeriest of bags and coordinating sock yarn from Miss Babs. Then we have the Blue Christmas Knit Kit, which has all the aquas and sherbet hues that I love for Christmas. It also comes with a special edition sock skein from Miss Babs, and each comes with a sock pattern from Olivia at This Handmade Life.
These kits were such a treat to put together. Working with Miss Babs is always a delight, and I'm so glad that we are able to predictably source fabrics again so that we can include hand made bags in our holiday kits this year. It's been hard finding exactly what we want during the pandemic, and there are long lead times for nearly everything. But the best things are worth the wait, aren't they?
Katie at Yarn Love has sent us all those mini sets and sock sets that you've grown to love since we started featuring them last Christmas. We have 6 mini sets total, plus two sock sets! I love a good speckled sock and a solid punch of color for the toes and heels, and these deliver.
And if you wanted to knit one of Katie's super cute Mr. Frosty Hats (in red or blue) we'll have those too in the Kits & Clubs section. And they come with the pattern too, you just e-mail and ask for it after your order and I e-mail it back.
Julia at Knitterly Things has sent us ALL her holiday striping colors! Y'all know how much I love stripes, so of course having these back again brings me a lot of joy. I know that many of you have been waiting for these. We'll have nine different holiday options including Holiday Magic and Joyful Noise shown below. All at the Kits & Clubs link.
I hope that you see something in these offerings that will bring you some Christmas cheer! I look forward to sharing these on each Monday, and of course I'll blog and send out newsletters when everything is live. Then stay tuned for all the other offerings we'll have for you on Nov 29 and Dec 6.
In non-Christmas news, we have restocks of some amazing hues of Dream in Color and Cascade. Half of our Life in the Long Grass has trickled in from Ireland (the other half, of course, is sitting in customs). Plus I have more colors from Knitterly Things on the way and some Fiberstory full sized skeins and mini sets. OH! And the new 100% recycled sock yarn from Cascade should be here in a week too!
Something? I want almost everything!
