Knitting at the Warehouse

Every Tuesday night from 6pm until about 8pm we are knitting at our warehouse. The knit night is open to all, which means you should bring your project and come sit for a spell. We have a grand ol' time and brought a few non yarnies over to the dark side. See you tomorrow night! Not sure where we are since we moved? We are on H st just south of Inyo, i.e the stadium.

740 H St Fresno, CA 93721

The Yarn Factory is super easy to get to from both the 41 & 99. We currently don't have any signage, but our address is right above our door.

After 6pm you don't need to feed the meters unless there is something happening at the Stadium. Don't worry it is hard to miss when something is happening there. There is one parking spot right out front. And a bunch just down the street.

We are hiring again!

We need to hire another assistant. We are looking for a team mate to join us part-time. Responsibilities will include labeling, packing and shipping orders, receiving orders, reskeining yarn, helping with various tasks around the warehouse.

On the Road Again

It is that time of year again. We are getting ready to get on the road to Columbus, OH for TNNA, our industy trade show. Along the way we are stopping in as many yarn shops as we can. So far we are planning for 14, and that is just on the way out. I can't believe we will be on the road in 65 hours.

We have seven new lines of yarn and three new colorways that we will be debuting at TNNA. Our lovely Kim Burly has been working away dyeing all of the colorway samples.

Two of our local shops have a few of our new lines already in stock. Knit Addiction has Dreamy (sw merino, cashmere & silk) and Milky Way (milk protein and sw merino). Swatches (rav link) has Inyo (baby alpaca), our very first 100% made in America line of yarn.

We are super proud of this line and its two sisters. The yarns are 100% alpaca of the highest quality, with a nice tight twist. The alpacas this fiber comes from live in the Mountain States, then are spun at a local mill.We are going for a yarn that has great stitch definition, feels soft, but doesn't pill when you look at it. Inyo, Echo & Kern fit that bill.

In other news, Lorna Miser has a pattern in this issue of Love of Knitting using our Cricket. I think it is an absolutely fabulous sweater and will be in our booth at TNNA. We are in booths 1652 & 1654. Hope to see you there! You can follow us on Twitter to keep up to date on our shenanigans.
