We’re loving this 90s revival moment right now, and if you missed some of our most recent arrivals, then it’s time to catch up with Neon. Super brights have been arriving late summer and early fall to the shop from some of our favorite yarn makers. Earlier evenings and cooler evenings don’t mean we have to put away our bright colors; it’s just a chance to embrace the neons all through the winter!
