Greetings from space! Here’s what’s happened this week.
New Arrivals
Simply put, so many great things have landed in the shop over the last few days.
We are thrilled to have a brand new yarn from Freia! We are one of the first shops to offer the new Super Bulky. It’s a single ply merino wool in 87 yard cakes, dyed in the gorgeous ombre colorways that we know and love. Each cake costs $34. Check out project ideas over on Pinterest. In addition to the new base, we’ve also restocked on three other bases: Sock Petites (perfect for the Knockout Round Shawl), Merino/Silk Fingering and Merino/Silk Worsted. Come dream up amazing gradient projects!
We’ve also just shelved a fresh batch of Gynx Strong Sport. This time out we’ve got a mix of self striping and multis, perfect for sport weight socks. Each skein is 328 yards of 80% superwash Merino and 20% nylon. Self striping colorways cost $30 per skein, while multis are $23 a piece.
We are fully restocked on the newest yarn from Hazel Knits – Cadence. A shop favorite, each skein is 200 yards of superwash Merino in a 3 ply worsted weight, custom milled for Hazel Knits. Enjoy this yarn at $22 per skein.
