What’s up in Hueville

Well…let me tell you.

One of the really weird yet kinda cool parts of this job is the prep for seasonal colour change. Thinking about winter tones in summer is sometimes hard and predicting that far head can be tricky but… the whole creating spring colourways in the dead of winter is some pretty wickedly powerful fight-off the winter blues therapy.

As you know in order to make room for new you have to do some house cleaning.  We never ever make a colourway disappear. We do however send them off for a bit of a rest. I think it was Joann who decided they went to the spa for some rejuvenation.

Below is the list of colours that are headed off to the spa on January 17th. So… those of you knitters who actually plan and do holiday knitting all year round you might want to take a minute and stock up.  Keep in mind that they will be back early next fall and that some new colours will be replacing them.

If there are any colourways that are not on the website right now that you would like to see come home from the spa please let us know in the comments and we will do our best to grant that wish.

    I’d love to see Crabby McCrabbypants come back for a return bout of crabbiness!  Or Happiness in my case as I have a lovely swirl coat planned with some crabbiness in mind.

    I would love to see some of the older less common colorways make an appearance,

    Azurite, Carbon, Carbon Dioxide, Covelite, Flourite, Jewel of the Nile, Neptunite, Retroid, Seal Rock

    I guess looking at it, I would like to see a lot of the gemstone colorways revisited!  It looks like a lot of these were produced before I really started knitting and discovered STR.  Since I am not in a position to get to shows I don’t get to buy much STR except what is available on the website……so I would really love to see some of the older ones brought back for a wee visit smile Thanks!

  9. Are the lightweight skeins all 405 yds now? If so, I’m seriously tempted to grab a few colors before they go to the spa.
