Happy Earth and LYS Celebration Week

I love the Earth and I love Local Yarn Shops so this is a wonderful week for me!

To celebrate Earth Day April 22, 2026, the Earth Week Urth Yarns Sale is back with 15% OFF all Urth Yarns all week long! Beverly and I are planning a few nights early week camping on the beach at Jalama Beach Park. Hopefully we'll stay dry or only damp and I can knit in my happy place!

Local Yarn Shop (LYS) Day is Saturday April 25th! Stay tuned for Local Yarn Shop (LYS) Day specials. I'll be announcing those in my next newsletter on Friday morning!

And Congratulations to Kris Gregson (yes, THAT Kris) for being the 1st person to share a completed shawl for the Spring Shawl MAL. Share your finished project by June 26th to be entered to win a $100 gift certificate.

Last week was the 3 year anniversary of when I brought Beverly home. Enjoy these flashback photos of Baby Bev!

Celebrate Earth Week with Urth Yarns!

This coming Wednesday April 22nd is Earth Day 2026! To commemorate the occasion, all Urth yarns will be discounted 15% OFF for the entire week from April 20th through 26th! 

Urth yarns partners with Trees for the Future and plants a tree in Africa for each skein of yarn sold! Urth Yarns produces ethically sourced, hand-dyed natural yarns, focusing on sustainability, quality, and social responsibility by employing women in Turkey. All of their wool is mulesing-free.

I'm a huge fan of Urth yarns! This past week I finished my Elyssa Dress using Spiral Grain Sport. In a world of increasing fiber prices due to tariffs, Urth is the only vendor I work with to have actually lowered the price of some their yarns. And I'm able to pass on these reductions to you with this sale!

I've also completed several Butterfly Shawls and Cowls as well as the popular Maksi Tee that are on display in the shop. Learn to knit the Butterfly Shawl with me in May/June!

Countdown to MY Holiday...LYS Day is April 25th!

LYS Day 2026 is only 5 days away!

I have been planning for months and have several Uniquely Ball & Skein products that are en route and scheduled to be released for this special day! There will be hourly raffles in the shop all day long, and an End of Day Grand Prize raffle!

I'll send out a newsletter on Friday April 24th with all the details on special sales and free gifts with purchase!
