A Contest!

This blog can get awfully quiet, and I want to step it up. I'm challenging YOU to participate! Just leave a comment on this post telling me what you love to do with sock yarn and you'll be entered into a random drawing on Saturday morning.

The prize is a skein of Bumblebirch Heartwood in Sunkissed! It's 100g/3.5 oz (463yd/423m) of 4-ply fingering weight in 75% superwash merino/25% nylon. Sunkissed is a lovely golden yellow gradient color. I'll even wind it up for you!

I'll start: My favorite thing to with sock yarn is knit lace socks!

Gratitude

I'm thankful for so many things in my life, and YOU are one of them! The creative process of dyeing yarn, making stitch markers and crafting stationary is possible only because of loyal customers who purchase these items. It's something to be cherished and nurtured, and I want to say THANK YOU!

On Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday, I'll be including a free small gift with any purchase from Bumblebirch. I've got unique stitch markers for knitters, handmade envelopes, and gift tags all bundled up and ready to tag along with your new purchase. See you after the turkey!

New Colorways

I'm very pleased to announce a few new colorways for the shop, all in 100% superwash merino fingering weight.

Black Friday Bonanza!

The wonderful Etsy Owls Team has decided to coordinate a sale this Black Friday, but it's not just any sale, it's a BLACK FRIDAY BONANZA! The sale runs from Thanksgiving Day through December 6th, and there are so many great deals to be had!

The Owls comprise artisans and craftspersons with a large variety of skills and wares, so you're sure to find items to please everyone on your gift list! Just visit Etsy and search for "etsyowlsteam." You can also check out the team store for unique items!

Winter Yarn Clubs

It's time for the Bumblebirch Winter Yarn Club! As usual, I have a 3-month Yarn + Tea subscription. These packages are filled with goodies and, best of all, you can choose sock yarn or worsted yarn!




For those who would like to keep it simple and subscribe to the yarn only (all right, I'll admit an occasional stitch marker might find its way in there), I'm offering 3-month and 1-month subscriptions.
