Happy Valentine’s everyone! Let’s jump right in!
PRIDE YARN:

FAN CLUB:
Our Fan Club has gotten so big we’ve been toying with the idea of capping how many people we allow in Fan Club at a time.. for now it’s still open! Do you love the idea of designing a new colorway with us every month, and then getting a skein of it in the mail? Then sign up for Fan Club HERE! Here are January’s Fan Club colorways for your viewing pleasure. Wish you could have gotten some? Don’t worry, we have a couple of LYSs that are also Fan Club members! Contact Hook a Frog Fibre and Fun, The Fibre Shop, Stitch Adventure or Shabby Sheep and Ewe!

FEATURED SHOP:
We want to highlight one of our newer shops, Hook a Frog Fiber and Fun, for Teresa’s forward-thinking approach to selling our yarn online! What Teresa has done is offered ALL of our colors on all our bases as a custom order, and when an order comes in she goes ahead and orders that color from us. While our advertised wait time is 4-6 weeks, we generally have a 2 week turnaround. So we encourage you to try it!

OUR CATALOG:
We’ve sold quite a few catalogs to our retail customers, which was a surprise to us as we thought of it as a tool for our LYSs to sell more yarn! Sometimes browsing through a catalog can be easier than looking at a wall of yarn. If you’re a big a fan of our yarn, you’ll LOVE flipping through it and dreaming about your next project. Our catalogs are for sale at cost at https://roundmountainfibers.com/shop/product-catalog
PATTERN RECOMMENDATIONS:
Our test knitters are currently busy knitting up samples of the ‘Make My Heart Sing’ and ‘Come Together’ shawls in every one of our collections! Here’s the first finished Come Together shawl knit up in Aquatic fade bundles “Flamboyant Cuttlefish’ and ‘Blue Ringed Octopus’. We love it!!!
You can purchase the pattern here:
https://roundmountainfibers.com/shop/come-together-fade
You can purchase Mystery Fade Bundles HERE! Just make sure you tell us it’s for this shawl (or if it’s for our other fade shawl, ‘Make My Heart Sing’), so that we pick good colors for you!
Here are a few really pretty free patterns I found that would work great with our yarns:
For 2 skeins of Fingering Weight yarn:
We would recommend a semisolid, or a Botany collection colorway and coordinating semisolid.
Pattern is Syyslaulu by Heidi Alander and photo by Tiina Rammo.
For 2 skeins of DK yarn:
Perfect for a colorway and coordinating semisolid.
