Saturday, May 2, 2026

Good morning lovely knitters!  It looks like we have a rainy start to the day, but it has been so bright, I keep running out to see if there is a rainbow with this rain!  No luck so far....but I do love rainbow weather!  Don't be surprised if you come in today and find me stopping mid-sentence and running out of the door to look at the sky!

Thank you so much to all of you who came in to celebrate LYS Day with us last weekend!  It was SUCH a fun day!  You guys, as always, are the best bunch of knitters and crocheters a yarn shop could ask for!  <3

And don't forget - if you bought $75+ of Knitting Fever Yarns - email your receipt to socialmedia@knittingfever.com and you might win a Lykke needle set!! (This includes Ella Rae, Noro, Juniper Moon Farm, Laines du Nord, Mirasol, Queensland and Lana Gatto!)  I'd love to hear that some of my people won (they are doing several drawings) so send those receipts today!!

We got NEW colors of Cumulus Rainbow this week!  Wahoo!!  We've got SO many kits with Cumulus Rainbow, that I haven't gotten a chance to update with NEW colors - but you can use the special order option to get any of the new ones, or better yet - pop in and we'll have some color fun!

The new colors would be perfect for our newly released Chasing Rainbows Shawl!!

And here is some weird insider yarn words for you...I feel like every couple of years I am fighting for Louisa Harding Amitola and Amitola Grande to no be discontinued and I think I'm in it again.  Now, I'm really good at being a squeaky wheel (I can be REALLY annoying when it comes to yarn I love!), but if you guys could help me out with this, it would be great!  First, of course, check out all of our gorgeous kits using the Amitola's and see if one or more wants to hop into your cart.  But there's another free thing you can do - if you have finished a project with Amitola or Amitola Grande, please put it into ravelry with any pictures you have and make sure when you list the yarn, it links to them.  The more projects that get listed and seen, the more likely other folks will want to buy it to - and there, maybe we'll save it again!

Ok- I think that's it for today.  We're back to taking destashing after a wee LYS Day break, so if you are spring cleaning your stash, come on in Thursday thru Saturday to get a pile of stash cash points for that yarn that you aren't in love with anymore!  We'll make sure it finds a good use or home!

You can find us on Facebook and Instagram, you can also now find us on Bluesky!  So, if you have already fled the others, follow us there!  We'd love to see you!
