Alley Cat Yarns

A few of Rune on Boots 2-ply are up in the shop! A tonal blue variegated with teeny speckles.

This weekend I listed over 100 skeins at a serious discount to make space for new yarns. Included in these listings are: bases we no longer carry, experimental colourways, previous skein sizes of current bases, and so on. As I always do, I let email subscribers know first! Subscribers have scooped up nearly all of these awesome deals, but a few remain. To see what's on offer, head to www.alleycatyarns.ca and select "Make Space!" near the bottom of the side menu. I have another round of clearance items going up soon, so while you're on the site, sign up for our email list to get first crack at the next offer. There have been other great offers that never made it to social media because the offers sold out to subscribers first. Don't miss out!

Are you planning your projects for our upcoming sweater quantity sale? From December 1st to 7th, save 20% off your purchase of 5 or more skeins. I've had some requests for swatches so will share these with you here. If there is something you'd like to see knitted up into a swatch, let me know and I'll do my best. Please note, however: a colour swatch is only useful to show colour variation and repeat length generally. A variegated colourway may pool, stripe, or behave in many... different ways depending on the knitter, the needles (gauge), the project, and the individual skein. I see the value in swatching for general information about colour range and placement, so I happily swatch for these purposes only. For most consistent, even, results, even for semi solids, it is best to alternate skeins as you knit. This is Berry Speckle on Moggie DK 100% Superwash merino. See more

Annnnd another! All of these variegated skeins I've posted in the past couple of days are repeatable and will be available on www.alleycatyarns.ca before the sweater quantity sale, which runs from December 1st to 7th.
