New Shop Design and March Kits

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US!

Can you believe it?   An entire year that our online store has been open and we couldn't have done it without all of our wonderful customers.  A big hearty "Thank You" to everyone who supported our little venture this past year.  We've got a few special things on tap, but let's get to the new stuff first.

The most noticeable thing is going to be our brand-new website look.  It will still be available on the web at www.woolywonkafibers.com, but Kim did a fantastic job setting up the new site for me.  I think it will be easier to navigate and find things.  There is now an entire page of colorways and you can get any colorway on any yarn we carry now.  I still have a couple of things to tweak over the next couple of days, but everything is operational, so you can take a look at the new and improved version.

Next!  Two new kits to introduce for this month - a new sock kit and a new stole kit.

First up: Vallesneria Sock Kit (this will take you right over to our sock kit page).

This is a great lacey-look sock designed for us by Jean Clement of Desert Rose Designs.  It features a twisted stitch pattern, designed to look like marsh grasses waving in the breeze.  It is knit up with our bamboo/superwash merino sock yarn, and is a suitable pattern for an intermediate knitter, or an adventurous beginner who has had a bit of experience with sock construction.  The kit contains the pattern with full instructions and charts for knitting this beautiful sock, plus enough yarn to complete the pattern.  Suggested needle size US 2 (2.75 mm) DPNs.

Next!  The new stole from "the other Anne" of Knitspot.  This is the "Gale" stole.  (Found Here in our store).  This is a limited edition kit featuring our artisan-spun cormo wool/angora bunny laceweight yarn.  It is available in 2 sizes - the petite and the tall - and the pattern that comes with the kit includes instructions for either size.  Currently, the kit is being offered in our "Dusk" colorway, a deep blackish purple, and is suitable for even the novice lace knitter.

I do have a only a limited number of skeins available of this lovely lightweight yarn, but this pattern is also completely interchangeable with our merino laceweight, so I can also make up a kit in that if you'd prefer a slightly different yarn.

LAST! (but definitely not least), we are having some fun give-aways of smaller prizes weekly, as well as a grand prize drawing for anyone who purchases from the store during the month of March.  Be sure to check out all the details at the New Home Page. 

Thanks to everyone who has made our shop a success in the last year.  We look forward to many more years getting to know all of you better.

All for now.....

Your shop looks wonderful - what a fabulous change!

I am in love with the artisan spun cormo - I have such a weakness for it I can hardly resist clicking the order button but I've already gone over my yarn budget for months to come. *Sigh* darn sock yarn! ;)
