A Little Knitty

During the month of June, we announced that we would be a drop-off location for Knit the Rainbow and would donate a portion of our sales for June to the charity. Knit the Rainbow  was founded in 2020 to help homeless LGBTQ+ youth in New York City survive the brutal winters. All of our handmade garments are made with love by our volunteers across the country and placed right in the hands of those in need.  We are thrilled to announce that we donated $600 to Knit the Rainbow!!!! Our donation helps with paying for postage to get donated knit wear to where it needs to go!!!

Something for the pure joy of it, and something we know the receiver will love because that person is us! We know we’re going to love it! July is about as far away from the holidays as we can get - the perfect time to create a bit selfishly. Actually, I hate to think of it that way - it’s not selfish to make things for ourselves. I think it’s a necessity! A bit of self care, perhaps. I mean, we all need hats, mittens, and sweaters, too! So why not a bit of Christmas in July - this time, let’s make it personal! So who’s with me? Who wants to do a bit of selfish creating this July? (Let’s start with coming up with a better term...

We have been sensing a trend lately...for wet felting! There has been more and more demand for Malabrigo Worsted, which is their worsted weight 100% wool single ply yarn. This comes in amazing colors, is cost friendly and felts like a DREAM!!!!! Perfect for those felted bags, baskets, slippers and more!!!  We just restocked and added some lovely colors.
