The Complete Captain’s Log

I’ve promised to be as transparent as possible about how tariffs are impacting our pricing here at the shop so I wanted to provide an update. The short answer is that we are doing our best to respond quickly as new information becomes available. The long(er) answer is that as a retailer, the constant, ever changing landscape of tariffs have made making inventory decisions quite difficult for retailers all across the country, us included. Many of us are owed thousands from our importers of record (places like FedEx, UPS, DHL) on tariffs we’ve already paid that were struck down by the courts. We have worked hard to pivot our inventory so that we can adjust prices quickly and make sure we’re offering you the amazing selection you’ve come to know us for. Thanks for continuing to be understanding with me and the staff as we navigate these sometimes daily changes. I am very much looking forward to a day when I no longer have to cosplay as a tariff expert in order to sell my string.

Y’all know we love Floops tools here in space. All of our team has a few in their notions bag. Here’s a quick tutorial on the many ways we like to use our Firls and Flox! Grab yours in space or online, these handy little tools tend to sell out fast!

Christina’s back with a tip that really helps make your FO’s look super polished and thoughtful - matching your cast on & bound off edges! While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with whatever CO & BO combo you use, matching styles can really make your work look elevated. What’s your favorite stitcher tip you’ve learned in your own stitching?

As stitchers, we know that some of the most valuable lessons about our craft come through making mistakes. That’s one of the reasons we love our community and getting together to stitch - we can learn so much from one another! In that spirit, the Yarnistas are sharing some of their imperfect projects and the lessons those mistakes taught them. We’d love to hear from you too! What’s your biggest lesson learned from an imperfect project?
