Did you miss the Minnesota Yarn Shop Hop

If you missed the Minnesota Yarn Shop Hop this past weekend, you missed a fun and memorable event. We had over 900 people pass through our doors in the four days of the hop!

Our exclusive Shop Hop yarn colorways of Gusto Wool Echoes are now available to preorder. While we'll likely get a few skeins to have in stock, the best way to ensure that you receive the color you want is to preorder now.

As a reminder, here is the yarn in our exclusive colorways:

Gusto Wool Echoes

80% SW merino wool, 20% nylon

440 yards yards/100 grams

We will be ordering the yarn at the end of the week (Friday, April 19), so please get your order in soon if you want either of our Shop Hop colorways. (There are other, non-3K exclusive colorways of Echoes available for preorder as well - any of them would work well with our patterns.)

We'll include a QR code to download both of our patterns with any purchase of Echoes.

Heigh Ho (crochet)
