Plaid Friday, Small Biz Saturday, Cyber Monday, & Giving Tuesday at Yarn Folk

November 25, 2025

We'll be closed on Thursday, giving thanks for, among other things, the amazing customers who sustain us, a new space that offers us stability and more room to bring our fiber friends together, family support, and the endless inspiration that yarn provides.

And after that, we'll be here to help with your seasonal shopping, whether you're looking for gifts for fellow fiber enthusiasts, supplies for handmade gifts, or maybe a little treat for yourself. Here's how it breaks down:

  • PLAID FRIDAY — Buy One, Get One 60% Off All Yarn!
    Enjoy 60% off your second skein (of equal or lesser value) on all yarn purchases, in-store or online. Consignment yarns are excluded. Each customer can redeem the offer once, with no minimum or maximum purchase limitations. The discount automatically applies to the lowest-priced items in your cart, in line with standard BOGO terms.
  • SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY — There’s a gift waiting for you!
    Thank you for making our shop part of your creative journey and for the amazing support you show all year long. To celebrate, we’re gifting every customer a spacious 11 x 15” drawstring project bag with any purchase of $30 or more—perfect for your next knit or crochet adventure. We can’t wait to thank you in person and send you home with something special!
  • CYBER MONDAY — Free standard shipping for all orders!
     To make it easier for our farther-flung community to enjoy a little Yarn Folk coziness this season, we’re covering standard shipping for every order placed on Sunday through Cyber Monday. Your support means the world to us.
  • GIVING TUESDAY — Giving Back, Together
    On Giving Tuesday, 15% of all sales will be directed right back into our Ellensburg community. We’re proud to share that your purchases will help support local food banks—FISH and APOYO—providing nourishment and care to neighbors who need it most. Thank you for choosing Yarn Folk and for being such a vital part of Ellensburg; your support helps us lift up our shared community, together.

Feeling felty? The Sailor Slippers are making waves—since their October release, knitters have finished over 1,600 pairs on Ravelry, with even more knit off the record. This versatile pattern lets you use one or many colors; we recommend Berroco Lanas held double for the perfect felted result. If you’re ready for a cozy new project, the Sailor Slippers just might be calling your name. They are calling mine!

Apparently if you put your mind to it, buckle down, and work on very little else, you can just about knit both sleeves of a sweater in a week! And the sleeves of  Mosspath are generous, with plenty of room for layering underneath. I'm almost to the cuff of sleeve #2, and once that's complete, I'll go back to the body.
Not much else to report--it was all black yarn on black needles in the dark for me this week. I'm definitely keeping my Lumos light charged!
