Wool & Honey banner
Welcome, October!

Thank you so much, friends, for a fantastic shop hop this past weekend--it was the best one yet!  It was so good to see so many happy, shiny knitters--and to hear your stories about hitting the road.  There's one knitter we know (
ahem, Mary R.) who did ALL EIGHT SHOPS IN FOUR HOURS. 
Bravo, sister.

The winners of the Grand Prize baskets are:

Nancy Akerley from Traverse City

Linda Williams from Traverse City

Phyllis Chaphalkar from Rapid City

We've got so many fun things ahead for the month, including the
Leland Fiber Festival next weekend (Friday  night and Saturday), plenty more of the 12 Knits of Christmas and several other surprises--stay tuned!

-George Eliot

Fall is a great time to pick up knitting, whether it's for the first time or to work on your annual collection of Christmas gifts.  We've got several classes, based mainly on our exclusive in-house patterns and kits; we think you'll find something that works for you.  And don't forget--all the supplies you need (yarn, patterns, needles and notions)--are all available to you at 15% off. 

Have another idea in mind?  Get a small group together and we'll create a class tailored to your interests and schedule.  Call (231) 228-2800 for more information.

 What if you could have a little piece of Leelanau delivered your home every month?  Introducing the Sleeping Bear Yarn Club, a year-round yarn club created for knitters who love Northern Michigan and the beauty it represents.

 

We are partnering with hand-dyers--big and small--to bring you exclusive colorways dyed to our specifications, based on some of the loveliest vistas in the Midwest.  We can't give it all away yet (that's part of the fun!), but some of our dyers include Dream in Color, Lorna's Laces, Three Irish Girls, Fleur de Fiber...and many, many more.

  

What Does The Club Include?

 

FREE Gifts for 12-Month Members Only:   

1. A large logo tote bag. 

2. A commemorative logo stitch marker.

3. A discount coupon for 3% off EVERY purchase made at Wool & Honey, both in-store and online.  (We think this is reason enough to sign up!)

 

Every Month:  

1.  One 100 g skein of fingering weight yarn.  The bases will change every month; think superwash wool blended with bamboo, silk, Seacell...even sparkles!
2. One semi-precious stone stitch marker in a coordinating color, made by our favorite local jeweler, Liz Saile.
3. One printed pattern.  Choose from of a pair of socks, a shawlette or a baby sweater.  Can't commit to one type of pattern every month?  No problem--call us and we'll make sure you get exactly what you want.
4.  10% off original retail price. All of these items (the yarn, the stitch marker and the pattern) are at member discount prices.
5. A preview of the next month's club offerings.
  This gives you the option to choose your favorite pattern, add more skeins to your order or even send your box to a friend!
