As if it wasn't already busy enough around here filling all the awesome holiday orders coming in, we are also unpacking, photographing and organizing another three-quarter-ton of yarn this week. It's like a yarny Christmas morning times 500. OK, maybe times 1000.
What else has arrived? Well, many of you have already found the two imported holiday yarn restocks we were waiting on - the holiday colors from West Yorkshire Spinners in UK, including more of the 2022 Gingerbread color.
Then we got a restock of the popular holiday skeins and sock sets from Flock Fibres of Canada. We have had these before too, but not yet this holiday season. Shown below are Gingerbread Party and Yule Ball. You'll find other options and single skeins in the Kits & Clubs section too. I love that these are certainly cheerful but not red/green Christmasy.
Then we received a few more Madelinetosh holiday colors. Those are Dancing on Ice, Norway Spruce, Light Show and Cindy Lou Who. All in the Kits & Clubs section.
Want minis? We have OVER 100 different colors of Emma's Smalls, which are 81 yards of their sock yarn. Shown below is Cosmos.
We also have restocks of Emma's mini sets like On the Vine shown below.
Then we have beautiful restocks of Hedgehog Fibres sock yarn, which brought back the original 7 skein fade set used in the super popular Find your Fade shawl. Ooooooh, we also have the 30-mini skein set back too. That would be an awesome Christmas gift.
Want the new Opal Yarn collections? Those got here too! We have the Schafpate 14 collection, Rainforest 6 ply, and Cats & Dogs.
I've already snagged a ball of Schafpate color 11194 for myself. Aqua and rainbow? Yes, please! And I love each of the Cats & Dogs collections. It looks like it's inspired by the vivid colors used by Lisa Frank, right? I had that Trapper Keeper in elementary school, so you know I'm gonna snag these. And I like that each one focuses on an individual color story. For those who have been asking for more 6ply self patterning options, we're finally starting to get the winter collections like Rainforest 6ply in stock from Europe. We have the fingering weight collection too.
Whew. That's a lot of yarn, right? What's coming next week? Well, I'll have a fresh batch of Life in the Long Grass from Ireland, including five skeins sets like the two in the Aurora Cabin Shawl, which is the Hiberknitalong 3 pattern from Stephen West. Both the warm and the cool color options, but in limited supply.
For those of you who are coming to the shop next week to celebrate our week long Holiday Open House, I can't wait to see you! Full details of days, times and happenings are here. Hope to see you!
A funny thing my daughter didn’t know was the term xerox! I was saying I’ll xerox it and then you can color a couple in different ways. I had to explain that I meant to go make a copy!! I had forgot for a second that xerox is the brand like Kleenex is for tissue!
