Final Week for Factory Girl Trunk Show!

November 03, 2026

Always glad to have my #1 luchador / Ash Ketchum on hand to dispense treats!

This is the FINAL WEEK for the Factory Girl Designs Trunk Show! The Signal Fluff Fingering is so unique, the Blueprint Fingering an Blueprint DK are everything you want in a merino/cashmere/nylon blend, Mill DK & Heirloom Sport are lovely non-superwash options, Workshop DK is a solid superwash merino, and there are Fiber Braids, too! Hope to see you, in person, or on the interwebs!

Inclement Weather Policy for 2026-2027

Since we are mainly commuting by bus these days, the bad weather decision tree is somewhat simplified: if the roads are closed and/or bus service is suspended, Yarn Folk will not be open. On Saturdays, if the roads are terrible but the bus is running, Yarn Folk will open at 11:30. We will publish all anomalies to Google, Facebook, and Instagram, and will modify the landing page at yarnfolk.sbs if possible.

…new in the shop

Continuing our tour of new bulky yarns in the shop, if you've been in, you've probably noticed the tower of Cloud. It is a bulky blown tube yarn, meaning you can successfully use a range of needle and hook sizes, but whatever you choose, it will be light as air. If you look at the pattern suggestions for Cloud, you'll see that many sweaters only require 3-4 balls, and if you're making a hat, one ball can yield two hats. The stripe sequences are charming, and the soft haze of the yarn structure gives them a watercolor effect. We've got eight fun colors, available here.

We also did a little restock of Lana Grossa Basta, a "fake fur" that is 50% Merino wool. That means our Sophie Hood kits are available again!

…to inspire

It's almost time for Imagined Landscapes' annual Mystery Gnome-along, and the pattern can be worked in either DK or fingering weight yarn. Fingering weight minis are here and here, or try returning yarn Stone Washed for the DK option. (More on that in a future email!)

Clues begin on December 1st, but you can use code “DecemberFun” to get 30% off the pattern on Ravelry until Nov 16. Plus, all previous December mystery gnomes are also 30% off with that same sale code!
