Happy October 1st! It is a sunny, cool day here, which is perfect for knitting (or sweater wearing!). The other good thing about today? We have lots of yarn up for you (new Rios colors) and a new club to sign up for.
Malabrigo Rios
We have the 10 new colors available, and they are gorgeous. I am trying to pick a favorite and I just can’t. They’re all great because that’s what Malabrigo does with their Rios line (and all of their other lines.)
Dream in Color Clubs
We have the September 2018 Sock-It Club color, and the October 2018 Pop Up Skein Club color for you today.
Hedgehog Fibres Fade Kits
Hedgehog has redone the original colors for the Find Your Fade shawl by DreaReneeKnits and we have them in a kit for you. A couple of these colors had been retired, but they redid them for these kits because of popular demand! We think this is a beautiful set for the fall season.
New Tape Measures
Who doesn’t need a cute new tape measure? We have cats, frogs, penguins and sock monkeys.
Cascade
We’ve re-stocked 220, 220 Superwash, 220 Superwash Aran, Heritage Sock Solids, Heritage Wave, Ultra Pima, and Superwash Sport.
Universal
We’ve re-stocked both Cotton Supreme and Bamboo Pop.
Loopy’s 12 Days of Indie Christmas – Signups Now Open!
We are celebrating the 12 Days of Christmas, Indie-style this year! The kits will ship in mid-November and will contain 12 different mini skeins (100+ yards per skein) from 12 different indie dyers. Approx. 1300 yards in all. Each skein will be caked and ready to knit, and in its own package. Four of the 12 packages in your kit will also contain a bonus notion for you. Buy the kit as a gift for yourself or a friend!
Open one package a day for 12 days, open them all at once, or save it until 12/25 (when the 12 Days of Christmas really starts) for something fun after the holidays are over. We are also including a card with pattern suggestions for using the skeins all together, in groups, or individually. Sign ups will be open until 10/12 (or until the spots are gone). We’ll send you an email in November when we’re ready to ship and ready for you to pay for your kit. (Please note – by signing up and taking a spot, you are committing to purchase the kit in mid-November.) Get in on the 12 Days of Indie Christmas fun! Click on this link to sign up.

P.S. Our contest winners from last week are: Linda W from MN and Martha R from WA!
This week we’re giving away two more books. (Remember, our wonderful neighbors – F&W Media/Interweave – are sharing these books with us. We’ll be giving away two every Monday through the end of the year!) Contest question – what is your perfect fall temperature? I like it in the upper 60’s, low 70’s myself. Leave a comment to be entered.
The minis look cool. What is the “t&s” after the price? And do they include free shipping given the price?
Tax and shipping, where applicable. (Free shipping in the U.S., since it’s over $100.) 🙂
I like it in the 60s or even mid-50s…as long as the sun’s out!
In the 60s for fall!
Perfect fall temp? I’d say mid-to-low 60s… dipping down into the upper 40s at night..
Cool enough during the day for a light sweater… with sunny skies and autumn leaves…
… I’m desperately craving temperatures cool enough to wear wool!
I love it in the 60’s
I’m always cold, from fall through early spring, and so I like temps around 70. Sunshine makes a huge difference, though, and any day with sunshine makes me happier than even a warm one without!
It’s a good thing we get so much sunshine here in Fort Collins, isn’t it?
mid fifties on up
I love autumn temperatures! Mid 70s in the day and cool nights. My favorite time of year.
70 degrees is perfect for me. Love the crisp fall days
I love my fall to be in the 70’s with no humidity and a light breeze. 🙂
Sunny with temps in high 60s or low 70s.
I’m always cold, so I prefer the low 70’s. it’s cool enough to wear those great shawls I’ve added to my collection.
60s with low humidity.
My favorite fall temps are upper 60’s to low 70’s. (Actually those would be my favorite year round temps!)
I like low 70s with sunshine. It’s warm enough to be comfortable and not so hot and humid.
67 with low humidity and a gentle but crispy breeze. That’s my perfect fall day! Oh must be crystal blue skies and sunshine too!
My perfect falll temp is 65-70 and sunny.
70 degrees is nice in the fall, preferably with a cider doughnut 😉
I like my Fall Temps in the 60’s perfect knitting weather! I love Fall
Upper 60s, low 70s, sunny with a nice cool breeze.
Well, I like temperatures in the 50s, but I live in SoCal, Anaheim to be specific, where right now it’s 90° at 5:30 PM – ick.
🙁
I’m assuming we’re meaning outside, right? fifties, maybe? Crisp. With apple cider simmering inside… Yum!
Definitely yes on the apple cider. 🙂
Mid 50s to mid 60s.
I like temps in the mid-60s to mid-70s
Mid 70’s with slightly cooler evenings.
Mid 60 are the best – cool enough but not freezing
The Xmas kit sounds awesome!
I prefer 65-70 degrees on a bright sunny day.
I like 50s and 60s, cool enough to need a sweater, but I get warm easily! 🙂
Mid 70’s. Fall is best in NM, warm days and cool nights.
I like the upper 60’s and the beautiful colors of fall. Both of these books look interesting. I would love to see the patterns.
Love 65 to 72.
In upstate New York, I love when the temperatures are in the 50s. Great temperature for fall walks in our area of the country.
And your part of the country is so gorgeous in the fall, Carol!
I like it about 60 degrees.
My favorite fall temperature is 62 degrees. 🙂
I like a sunny fall with low humidity in the upper 60`s.
My favorite temperature for fall is high 60’s to low 70’s.
And I have made myself numerous sweaters if needed
I live in Florida so….. what is this Fall you season of? We have no such thing here.
Sigh. Autocorrect strikes again and ruins everything. That should say “what is this Fall you speak of?”
Ha – my brain did it’s own autocorrect and I read it the way you meant it on your first post!
Can I add an order to be shipped in the same package as the Indie Christmas package?
Yes you can!
65 degrees with low humidity, please!
Low to mid-sixties! Just enough for a light sweater.
60’s and sunny!
Mid 70’s is perfect for me. Warm enough for my grandson to play outside without a sweater and cool enough for me to knit while he plays.
I like temps around 68-72 or so. Nice enough to walk or bike ride in a t-shirt and not get too sweaty.
If I were to win, I’d choose New England Knits. My favorite fall temps are similar to yours, mid-sixties to mid-seventies.
Thank you for the contest! And for the new beauties in the shop!
64 degrees with an apple and some leaves to kick up! Perfect fall sweater weather. Sunshine is a must. Crisp air and a crisp apple with friends.
I am a New England grown girl so the New England Knits would be perfect for me. I also studied French and well Oh! La-la!
The 60’s is great. Love fall
My perfect fall temp is 85. I hear Chicago area will hit the 80’s tomorrow. Can’t wait. I’m freezing today.
I’ll take 65 degrees any day!
I like highs in the 50s. And bright blue skies!
Upper 50’s, low 60’s, with a light breeze!
Perfect fall temperature? 50s until lunchtime for perfectly cool tandem bike rides then 60s for the afternoon for comfortable gardening!
