Pop Ups are the new Shop

February 8, 2019 By Jules Leave a Comment

It has been almost a year since the yarn shop Knitty Stash closed its doors. I miss the shop but mostly I miss you all! In this past year I’ve refocused on dying one-of-a-kind yarns and have spent lots of time learning new ways to be in business. Pop Up Shop events have become a good way for me to stay connected locally and also be available to Homer visitors.

I try to schedule a Pop Up or another event at least once a month, and sometimes more frequently if the opportunity arises! I am in the midst of planning this summer’s events and will publish a schedule in advance so you’ll know where to find me. In the meantime, don’t hesitate to call if you are traveling to Homer and need a yarn fix — my dye studio is here in town and I can often be available to show you yarns!

Thank You!!

So knitting friends!! The clues have all been posted, some are now gone and the completed pattern will be finalized and available on Ravelry in the near future. If you purchased a kit, a pattern will come to you in a few weeks.

Thank you all so much for joining us for the MKAL! We both learned so much and appreciate all the warm comments and help that were shared with the group.
We hope you all learned new things as well! Particularly that lace isn’t as intimitating if you take it one row, one section at a time!! And Life Lines!!

I have decided to sell the retail shop portion of my business and have set September as my end date. I plan to find a place to continue to dye my yarns and make them available in the on line shop. On to new adventures!! It has been a real pleasure to make new friends through this business and I plan to stay connected via Ravelry! Watch the Ravelry group When Calls The Heart for news of future MKALs!

Happy Stitching!!

The Alaskan Yarn Company sells wholesale!

The Alaskan Yarn Co. developed an Alaskan Color way about 5 years ago after visitors kept asking for ‘local’ yarns. Since spinning takes too long we came up with colors we see around us in Alaska. The seven Alaskan colors are Chugach Forest, Denali Autumn, Fireweed, High bush Cranberry, Kachemak Bay, Lupine and Northern Lights. There are great pictures in the slider on the home page.

We also offer Dot Dyes which are also sock yarn but each is a one of a kind and not reproducible. We can get close sometimes but there will always be variables.

We offer wholesale to LYS businesses around Alaska and elsewhere. In the online store there is a wholesale sample box option that will give you a chance to see what our colors look like. The box contains two skeins each of the the Alaskan color way and 3 different Dot Dyes.  Once we have your tax ID and contact information, we will ship out your sample box.  Contact us for more information.

No online stores please.

We predominately sell sock yarn and worsted weight but all our color ways can be made in other weights. Ask us for specifics. We are happy to answer any questions and look forward to hearing from you.image
