A second store and a yarn club

I've been busting at the seams to share the news, and now I can! In late January there will be Holland Road Yarn Co No. 2, based upstairs in the Grand Arcade centre on Willis St. Right in the middle of town! I can't tell you how excited I am to have found the perfect place to set up another little yarn haven.

Yarn Club Hooray!

I wasn't planning to do another yarn club this year, but now we've signed the lease, it makes a whole lot of sense. Different to the other yarn clubs we usually run, this time it's back to the tried and true traditional yarn club structure. We'd really love for you to be part of the club. It's going to help us immensely in creating the second shop and bringing even more wonderful yarns to your door. 

 

The details:

A traditional yarn club, which involves 3 parcels, 3 patterns designed especially for the yarn colours, and 8 skeins of yarn. 8 doesn't divide by 3, which means your first parcel contains 4 x 50g skeins of Knitsch Sock. The following two parcels will contain 2 x 50g Knitsch Sock each. Why? Well, all will become clear in time. 

On sale 10am Thursday 17 October

Shipping dates:

24 October 
14 November
6 December


Prices:

$100 plus:
$10 shipping for NZ customers
$18 shipping for Australian customers
$30 shipping for USA, UK, Canada & the rest of the world

 

Pattern Club 

If you don't fancy any yarn, you can sign up just to receive the patterns we'll be releasing with each parcel. 
The patterns will be a surprise, but I can tell you that two are designed by myself, Tash, and the third is being created by a lovely Australian friend. 

Shipping dates:

29 October
19 November
10 December
 
On each of these dates we'll email you a code so you can download the digital pattern  file via Ravelry. Sorry, we won't be able to post paper copies.
 
 
Because this is all in aid of helping create the second Holland Road Yarn Co store, we really appreciate your support. We couldn't do this without you, that's for sure. If you happen to think we do something great, this is your way of lending a hand.
 
Not a knitter? Oh my goodness I will love you forever. You can select the 'i'm a great person' option and you can donate to our cause. I'll double check that you don't want to receive any patterns, and instead i'll send you all sorts of psychic love through the air.
