Just in time for LYS Day this Saturday, we’re delighted to welcome back two of our favorite squishy, sheepy, and sustainable Jill Draper yarns to space: Ellsworth and High Plains! Made from dense, springy Dorset wool grown in upstate New York, Ellsworth is a true lace weight single-ply yarn. The sturdy structure of the wool means stitches will block into crisp shape and wear well for years without fear of pilling. Lace isn’t the only thing this yarn is great for – Jill recommends holding multiple strands together for heavier weight projects. Kitten-soft with a soft luster and an amazing drape, High Plains is truly dreamy! Spun from superfine (<15 micron) Merino wool grown in Montana, this incredibly soft, phenomenally squishy yarn is perfect for things you want to wear right next to your skin. Check them out on the Captain`s Log and grab your skeins in space. Shop on LYS Day and receive a little gift from the Hudson Valley and one of Jill’s wool sources.
On Saturday, our industry celebrates Local Yarn Store Day. Among the many exciting things happening here that day is our bag swap! Freshen up your project bag collection by bringing in 1-2 project bags (no simple totes please) to donate and you’ll get a coupon to use on LYS Day to take home a fresh bag from the donation pile OR 20% off a new (non-leather) yarn or needle storage item at the shop. We’ll donate any bags leftover to our good friends over at Project Knitwell or save them for future Furloughed Stitchers. You can drop off your swap bag(s) anytime this week!
