A KNIT-A-LONG KICKOFF 

  
Introducing our first Wool & Honey Knit-a-Long (KAL)the Lucinda Sweater from Carrie Bostick Hoge in Acadia, an exquisite dk-weight tweed in Merino, alpaca and silk from the Fibre Company. If this KAL doesn't get you in the mood for sweater knitting, we're not sure what will.
 
Because everything you need to knit this sweater will be 15% off--the book, the needles AND the yarn. The average savings per sweater is $30--and that's just on the yarn! ***Enter coupon code KAL15 at checkout.***

We have a sample Lucinda sweater on display at the store (and available for you to try on, of course!), as well as a skein of every colorway of the Fibre Company's Acadia yarn, so if you live locally, you'll still have time to come see the yarn in person before you order. Order the yarn (and needles, if you need them), a copy of the book, and the yarn will arrive in the store (or straight to your doorstep!) with plenty of time for you to cast on on September 1st. 

Our Knit-A-Long will run for exactly one month--from September 1st through September 30th. We'll be devoting our Thursday evening Open Knitting to the Lucinda KAL throughout the month of September--we'll be here to help you if you get in a rut or need help navigating the pattern, but primarily it'll be a chance for us to motivate each other.

 
Because there are prizes for every single person who finishes a sweater.
 
Every single participant who completes their sweater will receive a Beltane Shawl kit pictured below (the pattern and one skein of the Fibre Co. Meadow)--a $35 value.
 
And. 
 
Every single participant who completes their sweater will be entered in a drawing to win a $50 gift certificate to Wool & Honey, to use in-house or online. 
 
What if I don't live in Northern Michigan? No problem! 


We're taking online orders for one week at 15% off for one week (through Sunday, August 16th)--plenty of time to be shipped to you for the official cast on on Tuesday, September 1st.

We are thrilled to announce the September selections for the  Sleeping Bear Yarn Club.  Dyed exclusively for us by Beata of Hedgehog Fibres in Ireland, blues and greens will always win over our hearts. (And there are sprinkles too, which is a very hot trend in the hand-dyeing world right now!)  

Thank you to our good friend Ken Scottthe quintessential Leelanau County photographer, for the absolutely jaw-dropping inspirational photo. This photo--as well as any other on his website  or Facebook page --can be ordered in the form of a print for you or someone you know. Ken has generously traded payment for the use of his photography toward a 12-month SBYC subscription for one of our local retirement communities--we hope that you might be inspired to bring some of Ken's work into your home.
