YOTH Yarns Trunk Show at Unwind

Hi, all. I know we discussed this on the last podcast episode but I just wanted to make a quick post about it in case anyone reads this blog (does anyone read this as a blog?). This coming Thursday, April 16, 2015 our LYS, Unwind, is hosting a trunk show for Yarn on the House (YOTH). If you have been listening, you will know that this is a yarn line that we've had our eye on and we are super excited that they are coming to Unwind.

YOTH will also be at Vogue Knitting Live in Pasadena over the weekend but the trunk show will give you first dibs on yarn and it will mean you won't have to fight through their booth at VKL. And if their Stitches booth was any indication, it's going to be crazy. I am pasting the details of the event below from the Unwind newsletter. I (Thuy) will definitely be there along with a friend. I don't think Kimberly can make it but we will be at VKL on Sunday, so please say hi if you see us. 
They were EVERYTHING at Stitches West, what with their cute lumberjack employees, naturally dyed yarns and contemporary designs. Now they will be at Unwind on April 16th -- their only SoCal LYS visit!

Big Sister Veronika and Little Brother Danny have created quite the buzz in the yarn world, and we are so excited to host them here at Unwind! YOTH (Yarn on the House) is from Woodinville, Washington and their yarns are lovingly dyed in the famous Saco River Dye House in Biddeford, Maine.

Veronika will be bringing both their Big Sister (DK-weight, MCN blend) and Little Brother (Fingering-weight, MCN blend) yarns. We'll have yarns from the Raw Palette as well as the new Fresh Palette. There will also be a very limited amount of YOTH's sought after gradient sticks and patterns from the new Number Collection. Get here early for the best selection! Come to Unwind on April 16th between 7 -9 pm to shop these beautiful yarns, have some wine and cheese, and get to know Veronika from YOTH Yarns! It's your chance to get best pick before VK Live opens the next day.

Your $10 reservation will be applied to a YOTH purchase at the event. Sign up today!

Hope to see you there!
