 LELAND BLUE: SWEET GEORGIA TOUGH LOVE SOCK
BACK FOR A LIMITED TIME   
 
After months of being on the dyer's waiting list, we are thrilled to let you know we are bringing back our exclusive Leland Blue colorway from Sweet Georgia Yarns for a limited run at the end of the month. 

 

Our order will be arriving just in time for the 3rd annual Greater Traverse Area Yarn Shop Hop on September 26th-28th (more on that later!) and while we will have some yarn on our shelves for the event, we realize we might need to order more.  This is--by far--the most popular item we've ever sold in the shop.  EVER.  Based on the overwhelming amount of skeins we've ordered in the past, we want to give you every opportunity possible to snag a skein--or two.  Whether you missed this colorway the first time around or have been waiting for months to order more, this is your chance.  You can choose from a pickup option OR we'll be happy to ship it directly to you on Monday, September 29th.  Please, please don't wait--we have a limited number we can order based on the dyer's current stock.

INTRODUCING WILD HONEY:
A BRAND NEW EXCLUSIIVE WOOL & HONEY COLORWAY 


So it's no secret....we LOVE collaborating with dyers who come up with colors just for our store and our customers.  A complex blend of golds, yellows and browns, this yarn was dyed by Dream in Color exclusively for us.  Gorgeous for both men and women, what better time to introduce this rich colorway than fall? 

 

Just like the Leland Blue yarn, our brand new Wild Honey yarn will be making its debut at the the 3rd annual Greater Traverse Area Yarn Shop Hop on September 26th-28th.  You can pre-order now through September 15th for pickup on September 26th OR we'd be happy to ship it right to your door on Monday, September 29th.

Wild Honey is a 100% superwash Merino in a worsted weight, which makes it a natural choice for hats, mittens, baby garments...and easy-care sweaters for you.  We've picked four patterns we thought would be especially well-suited to this unique yarn; all but the vest require one skein each.

THE SLEEPING BEAR YARN CLUB
October 2014: 45th Parallel Vineyard      

 "The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and depending on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do."  

-Gallileo  


We are thrilled to reveal the October selections for the

The Sleeping Bear Yarn Club.

 

Dyed exclusively for us by Great Lakes Hand Dyed in Ohio, we love this yarn that's gradient-dyed to mimic the rainbow of green and purple in a northern Michigan vineyard at harvest time.

 October's delightful little package will include a skein of
Great Lakes Handdyed Ifrit Sock (100% superwash Merino--420 yds),
