At the warehouse:

• It's August and we totally leaned in to the Dog Days of the month with our Knit 12 Together project... If you haven't seen our Haute Diggety Dog Kerchief, it is ADORABLE. Bonus round- free pattern with purchase and bonus to the bonus? The recommended yarn, Pima Cotton 100, is on sale through midnight on Saturday the 6th...
• Dandoh yarn has been flying off of our shelves this summer as warm weather projects take center stage. Our recent restock means there is more Silk+, Cotton Fine and Linen waiting for you...
