What an exciting time of year. Finally, the days are getting longer, the Village Cheese Shanty in Leland is open and the snow is melting (why, yes, it did snow today--thanks for asking.) Spring is upon us--hallelujah and hooray!
But. Just because the mercury is rising doesn't mean it's time to put your knitting needles away. On the contrary. We are thrilled to announce the arrival of some of the most exciting yarns we've ever offered here at Wool & Honey--some incredibly rare yarns you'll be hard-pressed to find anywhere in the Midwest. We're honored to have been chosen as a flagship linen yarn shop for Quince & Co., a small yarn company based in Maine whose specialty is American-grown fibers. Big Bad Wool is based in Birmingham, Alabama and was created just for wee ones.
These yarns and patterns are trickling in our store RIGHT NOW....we hope you'll stop in to see them in person this weekend. We're quickly adding new items to the website as they arrive; we'll send you an email with links to these yarns next week, along with a May/June class schedule.
