PARKING! SHELF LABELS! YARN TASTING! A peek at a new yarn!

July 22, 2025

DID YOU KNOW? There are three dedicated parking spaces behind the building! If they are available, they are YOURS to use. I will be getting new decals made to update the signs, but spaces remain reserved for 211 W Third, which is Yarn Folk. Please come to the front door to enter the store, and when you leave, remember that the alley is one way going north!

ALSO: in order to streamline our processing, we are switching to shelf labels for pricing. Labels will be on the shelves, above the yarn. For yarns that are on the wall or in baskets, we will be using round cardstock that hangs from the fixtures. In addition to making it faster to receive yarn, this method also standardizes the information about each yarn into a consistent format--in addition to the pricing, the shelf labels have information about fiber content, yardage, and yarn weight. No more squinting to find it on the yarn labels! Needles, hooks, and notions will continue to be individually priced.

…mark your calendars

…new in the shop

New yarns are starting to arrive! Thank you to Past Ann, who put in a series of staggered orders to keep new yarn coming in consistently after the move, even though barely anything not directly move-related got dealt with for about three weeks!

Wizard is not brand-new to Berroco's line up, but there are new colors, and it's been on my mind since it was brand new. It is a super squishy chainette, and each striping colorway has SO MANY component colors. We've got ten options for you to choose from--and if you want another of the available colors? We'll make it happen for you. I bought extra to make a sweater even before the full order arrived; unfortunately, I was completely delusional about how much time I would have for knitting during June and July, and I haven't even opened the bag of yarn! 🤦🏻 Find the colors we have in stock here.

(Aren't they cuties? And SO many yards in a ball--262 yards in a bulky yarn is amazing!)

Reminder, we have the trunk show from Purly Shell Fiber Arts through July 30th. You can find Super Shine and fiber batts here.

…to inspire

Our seasonal yarn tastings are a fun chance to play around with new yarns from Berroco, we provide light snacks, there's a door prize, and now we have plenty of room to spread out upstairs! $10 reserves your place, and you can sign up here. We love to year what you think about the newest yarns, and even if we don't end up stocking all of them, you will have had the chance to see them in person and swatch, and we can order for you through the Berroco's 1-2-3 Drop Ship!

Oban! Dinner tonight is not very hands-on, so I think this is the day the front gets finished. And the back is already started--though only part of the hem ribbing is done.
