If you wanted to grab some of the special goodies I have for your for Valentine's Day, now the time! This year we have a Sock Set, a Hat Set and some 5-skein fade sets curated by Beata at Hedgehog Fibres! Oh, and we have all her new Sock colors that I shared last week on the blog too.
The Oooh La La Sock Set features a limited edition skein of Smooshy Sock Yarn in our exclusive Oooh La La colorway, a coordinating mini for your toes and heels, and stitch markers that Katrinkles made for us to look like Scrabble tiles that spell LOVE (with the heart as the O of course). We featured these markers last year as well and I'm so glad that Katrinkes was able to make them again for us.
Then we have the Oooh La La Hat Set that features the same colorway but dyed on a worsted weight merino/cashmere/nylon blend and not one but two pom poms. These poms are each 4", so slightly smaller than the 5-6" poms we typically feature. Many of you asked if we could feature smaller poms once in awhile and we're happy to oblige. These poms have elastic instead of strings, and this video shows you how you can use a button to affix your pom to your hat. Though I take the easy way out and just string extra yarn through my elastic loop and then simply tie my pom onto my hat as usual.
Want one of the specially curated 5-skein Potluck Fades from Hedgehog Fibres? I have 10 on Sock and 10 on Skinny Singles, and since I have just one of each they are sure to go fast. I had some for Christmas as well and most went within a day. Grab one or more 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. I seriously considered grabbing one of these just for a single skein I saw in the batch, but I always want to wait a day or two just in case one of you wants the set first. If it's still around after a couple of days, then I'll pounce!
We have some fab restocks of Malabrigo (Rasta keeps flying of our shelves, and we don't even specialize in super bulky yarn!), Madelinetosh, Addi needles like the new Rocket Squared double points, Cascade ReFine (100% recycled sock yarn for just $11.50), and more Opal Memories and Schafpate. Now's a great time to get Addi needles and Madelinetosh because the prices are going up 10-15% . It's definitely a good time to stock up on sweater quantities of Tosh, since we got a huge shipment of all our bases, including the ever popular and hard to keep Tosh DK. Plus we got back colors we hadn't seen for years like Black Currant, Pelican, Golden Hickory (above on TML) and Baroque Violet (below).
And in case you didn't see the awesomeness in our Sale Section right now, we have a fresh batch of our Simply Sock Yarn Small Batch. For just $14.50 a skein, you get a wonderful sock yarn splattered with the most beautiful speckles. We have over a dozen colors for you.
It's worth noting that we are experiencing quite the winter event here in Indiana starting today through the next several days. More snow that we've seen in a long time and the city is basically shut down, schools have all taken off through the rest of the week, and we are all hunkered down waiting to be able to dig our way out. So while we typically ship your orders the same or next day, it's likely that if you order today, Wednesday, that your order will take a few days longer than usual to get out the door and on its way to you. If you choose Contactless Pickup, you won't be able to get that until Saturday, Feb. 5. I appreciate your patience with us as we wait for the snow to stop and the plows to start so we can get back to shopping and shipping for you. Please don't be concerned if you don't see your order have tracking until Saturday. We have A LOT of orders already waiting and we will hurry as fast as we can through them as soon as we are able. Thank you for keeping us busy!
