Show season…

Rhinebeck2017

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is our new colorway for Rhinebeck ( New York Sheep and Wool). I create a new colorway every year and have for almost as long as my dear, dear friend Toni ( The Fold) has been packing up her trailer with our yarns and making the trek from her lovely shop in Marengo, Illinois to upstate New York.

Along with our Rhinebeck 2017 colorway Toni has all kinds of goodies with her this year including my newest yarn obsession our ever plump and luscious Plushy!!

… and a whole slew of our gradient kits!

Including our A Total Eclipse of the Sun Kit and a sample of Andea Mowry’s Find your Fade Shawl knit out of 2 of them.

My hot pink color love song to all of the breast cancer warriors and the people who love them. We are donating 10% of sales to breast cancer research. Maggie and I are thinking of combining our Fade to Black kit with Stitch PINK for a magical kind of punkish grade!

You will also might find our “Don’t Rain on my Craft Parade” colorway if you get there early enough!

If you heard the last Grocery Girls podcast you might remember Tracie defending one of our own whom had been treated unkindly.  We have all been there. I know I have. Anyway she ended with the statement, “Don’t rain on my craft parade!”  I love it!! Immediately messaged her to commiserate and tell her that I was so making her this colorway (she was thrilled) and here it is! And hey, … don’t flipping rain on our craft parade!

Another show that is happening this weekend is The Woodstock Fleece Festival

Like this stunning Veronika by Shannon Cook in our Targhee Worsted!

Terri also has Socks that Rock, Yaksi  and Crackpaca with so many wonderful project ideas and kits! Do stop by and say hi!

So it has been quite the few weeks here with super late yarn deliveries and then when the yarn got here team blue moon started dropping like flies with some awful plague. There were times when we were down to one dyer. It’s been crazy. We’re almost caught up too!

So frustrating!

Sock club will most definitely ship out next week. I think this might just be the latest we have ever been. I am so sorry and I really appreciate your understanding.

Oh… I almost forgot.

We added our second semester of School of Yarn!!!   Check it out!  Semester #2 is Merino Madness! We are so enjoying our little yarn school. I hope you are too!
