It's been a busy time here at the shop the past week! Not only b/c of the 35% off coupon that we're offering on a lot of hand dyed yarn lines (details here) but we got in a lot of new yarn including the new West Yorkshire Spinner's 2022 Holiday Color, Gingerbread. And we're reorganizing - take a look. Wowza, right?
We're still celebrating Socktober here, and this week's Socktober Special is a crazy good deal on a limited edition batch of potluck colors of Hedgehog Fibres mini skeins (20g, approx 80 yards)! None of these colors are from their normal line up of offerings, so each one is a unique little jewel that you can only get from SSYC. Instead of the retail price of $11.50, you're paying just $5.75 for imported Irish sock yarn! These are all potluck colors, meaning we choose the color for you and you get a surprise and a deal. There's a limited amount of these, so get them while you see them here.
We have dozens and dozens of colors to choose from, so you can order as many as you like and each one you order will be different. These photos are just an example of what you could get.
Minis are great for having on hand in your stash when you want to add a contrast color to the toes and heels of your socks, or for adding a fun stripe of color to a shawl. They are also great for Monster Socks like these or these or these. I also like How I Roll. There's no limit on the number of mini skeins you can order here, until they are gone. It's worth noting though, that if you order a dozen or more, you might get some that are similar. We just don't have the time to carefully scrutinize the selection to pick and choose if you're ordering that many.
Then I have a super deal for you on some special Urth Uneek Sock Kits. Each kit includes two matching 50g balls of yarn, so you get two matching striped socks and they are 40% off. Like with any hand dyeing operation, sometimes what they dye up doesn't look as expected, and such is the case with three colors they just sent me. Color 001 is just slightly off from one of their most popular striping colors (color 57, but this has more purple in it than the original), Color 003 is their popular Zebra (but with a bit of pink and/or/ lavender streaks in it), and Color 002 is the brand new Orangge (from GG the Iconic Orange Lady) stripe that already sold out last month but in this batch has some unexpected dots of color here and there. I wouldn't necessarily call these "seconds" b/c they are first quality yarn, but the color is a bit off from what Urth intended. And so you get a super deal. Find all three of them at the end of our Sale Section while I have them. While each kit includes a pattern code, these make really cool mitts too!
Thank you for making our Socktober so fun and busy for us! Our shop open days this month have been quite busy and we've even had several knitting groups drive from hours away to come shop. If you want to come see us some time in 2022, our days/hours are all posted here and that includes the week in December we are open to spread out our normal one day Holiday Open House.
For those of you who missed out on the cute fall stitch markers that we had a few weeks ago (they sold out really fast), I now have two more options for you. A set of 6 above and a set of 7, shown below. These are all made by our artisan out of polymer clay and as you can see are the perfect size (shown with a US 1 needle for scale). Not so big that they get in your way as you knit, but large enough to mark their place. Just perfect.
I'll have one more Socktober Special that I'll share on Monday, Halloween. All treats, no tricks at SSYC!
