Update 4/25: Our Baah Yarn order has arrived with the LYS color and shawl, plus more. You have GOT to see these colors. And I just got the Casapinka pattern codes (didn't think I was going to see those.) Buy two skeins of fingering weight yarn and get a one-time use download code. AND we have a ton of new yarn, bags, toys and kits. And sales: we have new signage to make it easier. Because we have so many moving parts, after you check out visit Mr.Knitty Gritty to get your extra goodies.

Update 4/23: I got a little slap happy with the ordering, so I've put a whole lot of stuff on sale for this one day. Brands include Noro, Juniper Moon, Laines du Nord, and Berroco. Some are even buy one, get one 65% off. We also have added free patterns and codes from additional designers and companies. Plus, we'll be kicking off the 2024 NY Fiber Trail with the brand new (stamped) passports.

Side note: last year two of the three winners chose Knitty Gritty for their free gift cards. Yay!

More plans coming soon. Watch this space...

*Winding yarn durning this busy event prevents us from providing you the best service. We are happy to wind for you at a later date or you can leave it with us and we will let you know when it's ready. We will not be able to take phone orders durning the sale. Please be patient, it may take us time to get to the phone!
