Colur changes news

Yes, new colourways are indeed coming as promised.  I swear they are.  I’ve had a bout of colourrhea and, to be completely honest, a bit of a hard time limiting myself.  So… what looked to be a quick easy addition to the seasonal colour shift is just a bit more work because of the photography and web work it takes to add them all in.

I’m so excited about a bunch of these and all the colourplay I’ve been up to in general. I’m experimenting with some new techniques and ideas. Also, I believe that from earthy to holiday to bright, there is something in this shift for everyone.  At least that is my hope.

We will be bringing these new colourways to Oregon Flock and Fiber and Toni Neil of The Fold will have them at Rhinebeck and SOAR. Plus, we will be at Stitches East, hosted by our very good friends Kathy and Steve Elkins of WEBS.

As always, if you do not see a colourway offered in the yarn you’d like, email us to see if it’s possible to special order it.  We would also like to remind everyone that when we do a colour change like this, we do get a bit bogged down. At that point, it might take the full 10 days to get your order shipped.

Now, for a little business talk.  Over that past year and a half, we’ve had the price we pay for yarn increase 3 times.  We’ve done our best to absorb this cost so it did not impact you.  We just had yet another increase and need to adjust our sock yarn price by $1.00 a skein.  So on September 27th, the prices of all three weights of sock yarn will be increased by $1.00—putting them at $21.00 for lightweight, $23.50 for mediumweight, $29.50 for heavyweight.

Just to prepare you for 2012, Blue Moon will have an overall price overhaul in January due to increasing wool prices.
