It's time for another 19th Birthday Deal! Today I have a new and limited edition yarn from Fleece Artist- meet Zephyr, a fine (superwash) merino skein, put up in a skein that is 25% more than a typical 100g skein, and is a super squishy fingering/sport weight. It's currently available in dozens of colors in our Sale Yarn section for just $17.50 a skein - a super deal from a studio that's been dyeing yarn for over 40 years. Fleece Artist was the first hand dyed yarn we offered in the shop 19 years ago, and I'm super happy that they, like us, have made it so long in this industry.
Peashoot
I'm assuming you've tried Fleece Artist before, as we've offered their Merino Sock, Casbah (it's what started the cash blend sock craze years ago), and thrummed mitten and sock sets for years now. But if you're new to this family run studio, then this is the perfect time to give it a try. Not only is this skein much larger than the 100g skein you may be used to, but the quality of merino (fine) is noticeable in the feel of the yarn. And to have both these perks at such a fab deal, instead of maying $35 a skein, it's a treat for sure.
Watermelon
I've cast on a cowl in the Marbles colorway, and i'm planning something somewhat similar to a Sockhead Cowl, but with a slightly larger needle and with some eyelet lace every few rows. I just want a simple project that I can work on while I'm Passenger Princess in the car.
Salt Spray
This yarn would be perfect for socks, though because it's close to a sport weight I'd go up one needle size than I typically do for fingering weight. So Instead of a 1.5, I'd knit it at a 2 for a squishy but dense fabric. This would also be perfect for sweaters for sure. Perhaps this sweet one. This Seashell Sweater's quite nice too. And thousands of knitters have made Yume in sport weight yarn. And the DRK Everyday Sweater is darn popular too. Get two for this cowl, and then make them for all your friends for holiday or birthday gifts!
Firecracker
I do hope this is a yarn I can get again, but right now I don't have an answer. I took all that Fleece Artist had available. So we'll see what happens. If you're planning a large project, please make sure you get more than enough so you don't end up wanting more when it's unavailable. I'd love to see this come several times a year, much like the Dream in Color Colossal Sock we have in our Sale Yarn section when we can.

Fleece Artist. Say no more I love their colors! Ordered! Can’t wait.
