JULY 1 THRU OCTOBER 9, 2023Wonderland Yarns' deSTITCHnation colorways this year are inspired by tales as 'old as time'! Each month will come with a custom designed enamel pin on a collectible card and pattern for the featured yarn base of the month.Our friend Andra recently came into our shop wearing her Drawing Sweater in Remix Light and I couldn't stop admiring it. This sweater is just stunning and Remix Light (without wool) makes it just the right amount of warmth of this time of year.We just got our retreat colorway in today from @snallygasterfibers It’s so beautiful. Just a little tease in b&w for you. Retreat attendees will have one of these in their swag bags and the opportunity to grab more before they are available to everyone else (if there are any left.)Channeling the fresh ocean air and breeze, Berroco created a home collection with a few our of favorite spring/summer yarns: Remix, Remix Light, Pima 100, Vivo, and Meraki. Stop by to see some of the finished items on tour from Berroco's Coastal Home 2023 collection in the shop through this weekend only.Hope you can join us for Knit Night on Thursday evening. We call it "knit night" because the alliteration is nice, but really it's for any fiber crafter. Bring your knitting, crochet, needlepoint, etc. Heck, bring a spindle if you want.KnitWit Yarn Shop Facebook Page
