OUR ANNUAL ANNIVERSARY PARTY

Saturday, May 23rd
15-Year Anniversary Party 
5 to 8 p.m.
yarn, gifts and a champagne toast

We promised we'd share a little more about what to expect the evening of the 23rd, so here's what the evening will entail: Each person who comes on Saturday night will receive a small bag filled with yarn-y treats to take home--think of it as an adult goody bag! All partygoers will also have the chance to win 1 of 3 kits we'll be giving away, featuring one each of the brand new yarns. There will be treats and sparkling wine from L. Mawby, our favorite local sommelier. We hope you'll join us for a fun party!

And about the new yarn, of course! Copper Corgi is a small, handpainted dye studio based in Savannah, Georgia and available in a tiny handful of local yarn shops throughout the country. Freia Fibers is one of the original gradient yarn companies--and we're thrilled that she has chosen us as her Michigan yarn shop. Tina's goal has always been to source her fibers from USA-grown sheep and to keep Freia Fiber's carbon footprint as low as possible....a match made in heaven! 
We'll have samples knit up in each of the new yarns, with lots of new pattern and ideas for you, too. Summer really is the perfect time for new knitting projects (especially after the hectic school events during the month of May!)--we know you'll find plenty of inspiration here.

And there is still a gigantic surprise, which is all we're going to say for now.
(Hint: it has something to do with MORE YARN.)

Read more about each of the yarns below....

Freia Fibers
Ombre Refined Sport in 15 gradient colors
70% Merino wool, 30% silk--sport weight
256 yds--75 g

The Freia Fibers Refined line is one of very few Merino/Silk blends that is truly made in the USA, in keeping with Freia Fiber's goal to have a small footprint and source within the USA as much as feasible. It is a beautiful, lofty, strong, lustrous and practically pill-free yarn!


Copper Corgi
Jones Street Sport in 8 heathered colors
60% superwash Merino, 30% alpaca, 10% silk
350 yds--100 g

Jones Street is a special yarn base, designed and milled exclusively for The Copper Corgi in the USA. A blend of super soft superwash Merino from South Africa, silk and black alpaca. The natural color of the yarn is a dark heathery gray, which lends a deeper, richer hue to all the other colors.


Copper Corgi
Gradient Mini Skein Sets in 6 gradient colors
100% superwash Merino wool--sport weight
360 yds total--100 g 
(6 colors--60 yds each per set)

The twist on this yarn gives it a lovely and forgiving springyness, a pure delight that gets softer with every touch. Ease of care and next-to-skin softness makes this yarn great for baby gifts. But don't be afraid to spoil yourself with a shawlette or that perfect spring sweater.
