New Yarns!

We have three brand new yarns to introduce you to! Lace weight yarns are very popular right now- in fact we have a hard time keeping them in stock. So we have added two new lace weight yarns to our collection


Ling is an elegant, cultivated silk/superwash merino blend that soaks up deep, bold and bright colorways. The twist is tight, giving the yarn more the slightest texture that keeps it from slipping from your needles as easily as 100% silk and making it not quite so shiny.

Ostara is a more casual alternative in 100% cotton. Ideal for those sensitive to animal fibers, it is also perfect for lightweight summer wraps. It is also a more economical alternative to some of our more expensive lace weight yarns.


If your taste is for soft and squishy yarns in a slightly thicker fingering weight, you'll be delighted with Pashmi. This Cashmere/SW Merino/Nylon blend makes the most luxurious shawls and scarves and can even be used for extra special socks. Its so soft, I can't stop knitting baby items out of it!

We have all three yarns in stock and they are available on our website now! Or, encourage your favorite Unique Sheep retailer to place a wholesale order for these great new yarns!

New Color for a Cause

The green of new rice seedlings for the children and their innocence
The blue of the clear sky over the coastal ocean for the endless potential in each child
The burnish orange of baked bricks for the foundation upon which each child needs to grow
The red of the watermelon for the sweetness of sharing our lives and bounty

Sharing our Gifts: Project 6

This month's Sharing our Gifts project is a lot of fun- we are making stockings and toys for needy children in Virginia. Toys are one of my favorite things to make so I jumped at the excuse to try a few new patterns. These googley eyed toys by cheezombie are addicting! I used size 3 needles and scraps of Super Wool for everything except the eyes which are done in mystery scraps of white and black that I found in my stash. They were so much fun to make! And quick and easy, too. The sheep was a bit fiddly with all its parts- the slug was the easiest and seems to have the most personality, somehow. I have just packed them up and now they are off to Virginia!

SWAG

You asked for it, and now we've got it! Mugs and mini-notebooks with the Unique Sheep logo, just for you! We only have a limited supply of these, so get yours while they last! They can both be found under "Accessories" on our website.

Eos is Back!

We have great news- we finally have Eos back in stock!! We were completely unprepared for the rush of orders for Eos for the Evenstar KAL and not only did we run out, our distributor ran out! So we had to wait for more to be spun. But big boxes of cones arrived this week and we are ready to fill more orders now. So if you have been wanting Eos for Evenstar or for your other lace knitting projects, now is the time to order! We've also been adding more pictures of our colorways dyed on Eos to the website. We love how Eos takes colors in a soft, shimmery almost magical way!

Unique Sheep SWAG

Customers keep asking for us to offer coffee mugs with the Unique Sheep Logo on them, and maybe even t-shirts or tote bags. We'd love to offer these things for sale or as "extras" in our club shipments. But to get decent prices we need to order large batches, so we need to decide on just a few things that we want a lot of (rather than a lot of different things that we only want a few of). And its really hard to decide because there are so many options! So we want your help. Leave us a comment and let us know:

1) Would you prefer a t-shirt, mug and/or tote bag? If you would buy more than one thing, let us know that, too!

For Mugs:
1) Do you prefer white, dark color, pastel or bright color for the main color of the mug?
2) How large a mug do you like? (small/med/large or # ounces)
3) Do you like the standard shaped mugs or the fancier ones with smooth curves or interesting shapes?
4) How much would you pay for a Unique Sheep Mug? (this will help us choose a mug style since they range in price)

For T-Shirts:
1) short sleeved or long sleeved?
2) favorite color?
3) size?
4) How much would you pay for a Unique Sheep T-Shirt?

We need to do more research about tote-bag options before we know which questions to ask!

Thanks for your help!
