Hurricane Matthew, Fall colours and clubs and Black Friday Sale!

Well you may not have seen us on here for awhile and wondered where we went!  We have been so busy that we have neglected this blog and its followers and for that we truly do apologize.  There just doesn't seem to be enough time in the day to accomplish everything we set out to do.  Anyone else find this to be true?  But just because we haven't been posting doesn't mean nothing has been happening!  So, let's get to the good stuff!


7 weeks ago today we were hit hard by Hurricane Matthew.  That was one mean storm! We lost power, phone, cable and internet and are still not 100% back to normal.  We got our power back almost 4 weeks later and just got cable a week ago!  Still no phone but hey....who needs a phone anyways these days!


As soon as we got power back we started dyeing yarn again.  Our new fall colours are luscious and I will admit they are pretty hard to part with.



We have been pretty active in our Ravelry group.  If you haven't joined us yet....well, get on it people!  LOL!  We have had 2 KAL (knitalongs for the non knitting fiends out there) and have given away so many prizes!  We are almost done our Seawall Storm Shawl KAL (a collaboration with Webster Street Knittery) which has honestly been a blast!

We had a fair number of people say they loved the kits we offered for the KAL as it took the hard work of picking complementary colours and did it for them.  So we decided to take that one step further.  We would like to introduce to you our Quarterly Yarn Clubs.  We plan on doing this 4 times a year.  What we are doing is putting together 3 or 4 complementary colours on a few yarn bases and opening them up for orders for a week.  When the listings go down, we then dye up the yarn and ship it out.  The clubs that are for sale now will be shipped before January 1st.  Check them out, there are 5 clubs available, Our Classic Club and our Bold Club on either Worsted or Sock and our Luxe club which is a Fingering weight yarn made of the most decadent 50/50 blend of superwash merino and silk!


And yes, you read the title of this post correctly!  Our huge Black Friday weekend sale starts tonight at 6.  So shop early!  This is a "The more you spend, the more you save" kind of sale.  Spend up to $50 and get 10% off, spend between $50 and $100 and get 15% off and spend over $100 and get 20% off.  The new yarn clubs are included but must be purchased as a separate order due to the processing time!

Ok time to sign off for now but we will be back.....I promise!
