Weekend Round Up!

Plied Knowledge: The week that was…

At the warehouse:

• We love every time Hedgehog comes in to the store and this time we were extra excited. We not only got our Twist Sock restock, but the coolest holographic bags, too!
• BLUE MOON! IN THE WAREHOUSE! This is not a drill! We not only got our much anticipated restock of Socks That Rock Heavyweight but also the rest of our order of Socks That Rock Lightweight! Hurry and buy because we know they have had a hard time getting yarn from their mills... 
• It really was a banner week since we also got our equally anticipated Malabrigo order which topped us off on most of the bases we carry. Rasta... Mecha... Worsted... Rios... Caprino... Dos Tierras... Arroyo... Sock... And more!
• Remember the terrible storm a few weeks ago? That delayed our shipment of Pom Pom Quarterly that was supposed to go out on Monday. Happily, it showed up later this week and those with pre-orders should find them in your mailboxes soon. Everyone else? It's not too late to order your copy!
• Somehow the calendar says "March" which means we have also launched this month's Knit 12 Together project! Our Malabrigo Worsted order came just in time for Parna Mehrbani's Coiffure Hat that we hope you all knit with us. Best part? You can download the pattern for free through March 10!
