Trunk Show with Canon Hand Dyes and Dragonfly Fibers

July 17, 2020

 

 
   

 

Many indie dyers have seen fiber festivals that they registered for cancelled due to COVID, so we put our heads together with Amy Lee and figured out how to do a trunk show amid this pandemic!  She will be at Nitro Knitters on Friday July 31st and Saturday August 1st from 12-4pm.

While it will be a ton of fun as always, it will look different from our traditional trunk shows.  We will be rearranging the store a bit to make room for Amy Lee to have more table tops to display all of her beautiful yarns.  This will allow everyone to be able to spread out and keep our distance.  And most importantly, we will be booking shopping appointments so that we can maintain our safe store occupancy.  It will be like a semi-private shopping "party."  Amy Lee will be there to help with project ideas and there will be so many samples for inspiration.  Please call us at 503-372-9318 or email us at nitroknitters@gmail.com to book your 30-minute appointment!

Meet Bruce from Canon Hand Dyes, a wonderful 3-ply smooth base of superwash merino and yak. The yak in this yarn gives the colors this yarn an amazing softness and a rich depth of color! At 435 yards per skein, it is ideal for a scrumptiously cozy pair of socks or a super soft and luxurious next-to-skin accessory.  Amy Lee designed a palette of 12 fall inspired jewel tones especially for this base to highlight the uniqueness of the special yarn.


New!! Candy Skein

candy skein yummy fingering

Last week a beautiful shipment of Yummy Fingering from Candy Skein arrived!  Tami from Candy Skein worked with a mill to create the base for Yummy Fingering, so it is exclusive for her!  At 463 yards each skein has a lot of yardage, but still has a nice body to it - not too thin.  It has been super popular for multi-color projects because the tonal palette works really well together.  And each color also looks equally good by itself.  It's a blend of 75/25 Superwash Merino and Nylon, so it would be strong enough for a pair of socks, and soft enough for a next-to-skin accessory.  Come in to feel for yourself!
