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.

Tina: It’s about time you upped your prices. You shouldn’t have to eat ALL the increases. Are you also changing the yardage? I know there was some talk of that. A dollar seems a little on the low side to me, but you know your own business best. I can see skeins in the photograph that I want to rip right off the screen. Be still my heart!(and my pocket book,lol).
Cheers and red wine, Hazel.
What is the skein in the center with all the ranges in it? I’m salivating!
Yikes! that would be spelled “oranges”.
I’ve been reading about cotton prices going up for awhile now, so I’m not surprised wool is too.
BTW, is Moonlight Revels a variation of your older Moonlight Revel colorway?
I LOVE the yellow skein that is front and center. Please, what color is it? Thanks
I’m loving these colours, Tina!
“The bobbling of woolen clothe cause irritation in nasal skin and create problem for asthmatic patient. “
Well, tell that to Anna Zilboorg!
I think I’ll still knit the sweater(lol).
Dare I hope that Scumblebee will be making an appearance? I missed getting one during it’s very brief debut and I want! want! want! But of course I want them all…..
Still cheaper than coffee and oh so much prettier!!
So what you’re saying is BUY NOW to SAVE BIG!
At least that’s what I heard. 
Love some of the new colors in that photo. Can’t wait to see them!
+1 on Scumblebee! I missed it, too. If it was at Sock Summit 11, I missed it there, too.
Hi Tina,
What time will the new colors be up on the 16th. Can’t wait to see them.

The new colors are phenomenal! Now which ones to buy……..?
I am so in LOVE with all of the new colors…I see a lot of dying in your future because I see a lot of yarn in mine!!
Are the new colors mixed throughout, or are they identified in one particular place?
Love, the new colors. I see more yarn coming to my house soon!
