My parents came to visit for the weekend and my dad is jokingly calling it “The weekend my parents came to stay for the summer.” They’ve stayed a bit longer than expected because their car kind of exploded on their way here… anyway I’ve been enjoying their company, and I thought I’d share this super cute collage of when my mom asked “Let’s take a picture where you hold the phone like THAT!” I said “A selfie?” And my mother said “Yes, yes a selfie!” (imagine strong Colombian accent a la Sophia Vergara). It was too cute not to share:
My mom asked me why I’m not famous yet… tee hee… I told her I kind of am.. in certain circles… She said everybody should buy 1 of each color I offer. I explained to her that we have more than 500 colorways… she said “Bueno, que compren uno de cada color!” Which means “Well, they should buy one in each color then!”
So, I’ll leave you with that, and without further ado, here’s what’s NEW for August!!!
NEW BASE, LINDEN SPORT!
We are super excited to announce that we’ve added our new Linden Sport base to our offerings! This base is INCREDIBLY SOFT as it’s made with Superfine superwash Merino (our other bases have “regular” superwash Merino). It’s incredibly fluffy too, and our sample knitter said it may be her new favorite.
Try all our bases by ordering our Yarn Tasting Sampler, HERE! Each sampler contains 7 skeins, one of each of our bases, dyed in all 7 Dye methods!
NEW SCOOP YARN HOME DYEING KITS
As I mentioned on social media, we’ve been working on re-branding our Drunk Yarn kits and they’re live! Announcing… (drum roll).... Scoop Yarn: Home dyeing kits in colors inspired by sorbet and ice cream!!! They come in cute little ice cream containers, and come in 10 “flavors”: Black Raspberry, Blueberry, Blue Raspberry, Boysenberry, Dragonfruit, Lime, Lemon, Mango, Mint, and Watermelon! We took the opportunity to make improvements to the kits to include:
Desiccant packets in the powder envelopes to reduce caking.
A QR code on the lid so you see our dyeing instructions and other information with a click on your phone.
To purchase our Scoop Yarn kits, visit https://www.scoopyarn.com/ The website is brand new and is acting weird on mobile (if you look at it on a phone or ipad)… so we’re still working on it. Please take a look and feel free to email me if you have any questions or comments. Feedback is appreciated! You can email me at info@scoopyarn.com OR info@roundmountainfibers.com.
PRICE INCREASE
Unfortunately, the cost of everything is going up… Cost of living has increased, the price of materials has increased, and postal rates have just been increased. In order to keep doing what we do best, we’ve increased our Retail price to $34 per skein, and our shops will be seeing an increase as well.
If you love our yarn, and can’t pay full price, please visit our SALE page, where Mystery Bundles are ALWAYS 50% off!
To make sure you get the most value when paying shipping, check out our postal rates HERE.
AUGUST LYS CLUB COLORS
Here are August’s LYS Club colors! These colors are available exclusively through participating LYSs. See something you like? Ask your local shop to place an order! We will be posting these on our socials as well, with all our shops tagged.
AUGUST FAN CLUB!
This month’s Fan Club is inspired by the Oriental Kingfisher! It is dyed in the Nebula Method, which is the same method we use for our Herpetology Collection. We love the interplay of these bright colors in this method! Want to design a colorway with us every month? Click HERE to join Fan Club!
That’s all our updates for now! Happy crafting!
Sincerely,
Monica MacNeille
