Hello, Goodbye: A Winter SALE!

Hello, Goodbye:

A Winter SALE!

mid-January 2011

Hiya, wool fans!

Don't worry--we're not going anywhere!

(We're just making some changes--again.)

At every yarn shop, all around the world, things are constantly changing. Trends, colors, fibers and ideas--they all shift and shuffle, season by season. (Remember novelty yarn?!?) As time goes on, to keep with trends and tastes and the natural rhythm of things, we sometimes have to say good-bye to yarns we've come to know and love. Even if it might seem hard. Here at Wool & Honey, it's time to say goodbye to a yarnie and a designer we've grown very fond of over the years--Debbie Bliss.

And so, to send her off with a bang.....

We're having a one-day SALE--

this Saturday, January 22nd

from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m.

(See details below.)

But of course, as we say, "goodbye" to one company, we say, "Hey there! How the heck are ya?" to several more. Over the next few months, (starting with quite a few newbies next week!), we'll be introducing yarns with wonderful stories behind them--their Fair Trade roots, the women that own them and the indie dyers that create individual of art, either in a studio or on their kitchen stove.

If you're wondering why we made this decision, or you'd just like to know a little bit about the thought process behind why yarn shop owners make the decisions they do (or, at least how this one does!), you can read more on my knitting blog here.

I'll be back next week with new yarn updates (including photos!), pattern ideas for winter woolies, a February class schedule and some really fabulous kits that will undoubtedly chase away the winter blues!

Just to make things easier for you before you come in, we've compiled a list of DB yarns, their weights, yardages and prices. Check things out on Ravelry, ask a few friends--you're bound to come up with several ideas!

(Of course, we're here to help, too, but on sale days, things can get so busy, we might not have as much time as we'd like to strategize with every single customer!)
