plyed 100 grams of the merino/llama/mulberry silk/sari silk blend yesterday, starting the second 100 grams after breakfast
kinda thinking about spending the summer spinning lots of yarn and then come the autumn getting a loom so I can spend the winter months cozy and cursing my life choices as I learn to weave
and Tour de Fleece will start in just under two months and can be excellent for stash busting
it’s like a little switch labeled ‘spin ALL the yarn!’ has been flipped
🧶Hey hand spinners!!!🧶 We haven’t forgotten ya! 9 brand new roving colors have hit the shop in today’s shop update, and good golly are they pretty!
Kelsey spun up this eye dazzler in the colorway: “As It Was”….because you know this roving “is not the same as it was” when she 2 plied it into a spectacular sport weight 😆
Head on over to the website, and be sure to snag some of these newest additions to our shop ♥️
✨A VERY SPECIAL AND EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT ✨
✨We were going to wait until next week to share this news, but we were just too darn excited, so we asked Rachel if we could spill the beans a tad early and yell it from the mountain tops a whole week in advance….and she said “YES!”
✨Y’all! Meet the lead knitwear designer for Primrose Yarn Co. this year, @unwind_knitwear!!!!!! 🥳
✨We have been oooooing and ahhhhing over Rachel’s designs for quite some time, so when we approached her at the beginning of the year and offered her the position with our company, she said “yes!”!!!! We couldn’t be more excited to work with such a talented and innovative designer, known for her unique and outstanding colorwork patterns!
✨Now that you know she is going to be working with us a bunch this year, y’all want to know what she is wearing right?! Well speaking of innovation in knitwear design, this is our first collaboration with her called “Earth Prelude”, that will be released next week! The construction is *chef’s kiss*, and is sure to teach you a new way of constructing sweaters, and is so fun to knit! Will there be kits, you ask?! You better believe it!!!! We will have ALLLLL the color combos, and ALLLLL the kits hitting our website next Thursday (2/23) at 12 PM EST in sync with the pattern drop. ♥️ Our weekly newsletter will announce the kit launch, so if you want to be in “the know” for the pattern and Kit releases, you definitely want to make sure you are signed up!
✨A HUGE and MASSIVE thank you to Rachel for joining our team this year! We can’t wait to see where her immaculate artistic designs take her! ♥️♥️♥️
🧶Plume (Mohair)
Happy Sunday everyone!
The weather has been getting quite chilly here on the East coast, but these beautiful fluffy skeins of our Plume Mohair are sure to help add an extra bit of warmth to any project ♥️
What is your favorite way to incorporate mohair into a project?! Do you like to hold it double (together with itself)? Hold it double with another yarn? Work up a beautiful lace motif with a single strand? We are always looking for new and inventive ways to work with mohair, and would love to hear what you all are doing in your projects!
✨We have a gorgeous rainbow of colors, now available on our website, or you can swing into our brick and mortar @primrosecraftcollective Tuesdays-Fridays: 10 AM- 4 PM & Saturdays: 10 AM- 6 PM, to shop them all in person!
✨We did hear that y’all like a surprise, so for tomorrow’s shop update (12/1) @ 12 PM EST, we are going to be adding surprise grab bags for our Homestead Worsted & Homestead Sport yarns.
✨Now- before you say, “HEY GUYS!!! I have a particular color family I like, and I don’t want to get anything that I won’t use…”, don’t you worry! The listing will allow you to choose if you want: 3, 4, 5, or 6 skeins (so we can accommodate all price ranges and project needs), AND we will have an option for: individual color families, fades, and a “surprise me with what is poppin’ now” option 😁
✨Also- the more you buy, the bigger you save! Our typical kit price is $2 off per skein. These listings will be priced so that:
•3 skein bundles are $2 off per skein
•4 skein bundles are $3 off per skein
•5 skein bundles are $4 off per skein
•6 skein bundles are $5 off per skein
✨Kelsey put together this beautiful 5 skein pallet for a new design she is working on…ya want to know the colors, dontcha? 🧶In our Homestead Worsted from Left to Right: Fig, Torn, Summertime Sadness, Oblivion, & Pheasant. Oh- and don’t worry. We will have Kelsey’s combo as an option too 😉
