SEMI-ANNUAL CLEARANCE SALE ONLINE EARLY ACCESS STARTS WEDNESDAY AT 4PM 🚨🚨🚨

July 23, 2024

Our summer clearance is our biggest sale of the year...and as an email subscriber, you get a head start on the savings. Here are some things to remember:

Online early access starts at 4p on Wednesday (tomorrow). There will be a link on the landing page at yarnfolk.com that will take you to the clearance page.
This is first quality merchandise. We select our products with care, and while we are moving things out to make space for new offerings, it's good stuff.
Shopping early gets you the best chance at scoring nice project quantities.
Discounts increase as the sale progresses, but the choice of colors and quantities available decreases.
There are no returns and no winding on sale yarns.
Even if you are local, you can shop online--just choose Local Pickup at checkout.
We verify quantities before the sale begins, but the occasional error pops up, and sometimes simultaneous in-store and online purchases create issues. We do our best to minimize this, but if we aren't able to fulfill something, you will get a prompt refund!
Clearance will begin in person on Thursday morning.

…to inspire

I do love blocking, and finishing the stocking (below) meant I could fill up a basin, and set a stranded knitting project to soak--possibly the most satisfying blocking of all!

Because this two-color design involved high contrast colors, and especially because reds sometimes bleed, I was careful to use some dye magnet sheets, and I wanted to make sure you knew about them here. They are great for anytime a project with multiple colors is being washed (especially for the first time), or if you are laundering several pieces together. The dye magnet sheets are made of a non-woven material, and it collects excess dyes dispersed in the water to prevent the pigment from landing on other colors.

This time, the yarn I used was super stable, and there was NO color transfer--the soaking water was completely clear. Having a solution if there is dye transfer is great; not needing it is even better!

Shout Color Catchers are the brand I've seen in grocery stores, and I have used them successfully, but I have also used "off-brand" sheets. You'll see them called dye magnet sheets, color catchers, or color grabbers. The terms are generally interchangeable.

The Squirrel from Woodland Stockings is 99% done! All that is left is knitting the i-cord hanging loop. The yarn is Lore, in a traditional crimson (Sensitive) and Ivory (Logical) combination. I wish I had time to make the bunny, bird, and deer, too! (I think the bunny would be extra cute in blue (Devoted)!)
