Our first Favorite Things Sale of 2022
Happy Summer, Spun people! It's time for 2022's first . . .
First, let's pause to admire Pete's illustration. Did anybody else watch the video of Julie Andrews receiving the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award, featuring a bunch of the folks who played Von Trapp family children leading a sing-along of "Doe A Deer"? No?? You're welcome. Now dry your happy tears, and read on!
We polled our beloved Spun staff and asked, "What's the one thing in the shop you couldn't craft without?" Some picked yarn, and some picked tools, and this Friday through Sunday, their picks are all 20 percent off, both in the store and online! We see some of you looking skeptical, maybe thinking, "You all work in a yarn shop, and everyone picked just one thing?" Yeah, no, that didn't happen. To deal with the influx of their well-informed opinions, we'll be holding Our Favorite Things sales every month this summer. Stay tuned!

New in the Shop!
Brooklyn Tweed Shelter
New, brilliant colors in a nature-inspired palette!
Friends, allow us to fill your screen, your project bags, your needles, and your stashes with this fresh loveliness from Brooklyn Tweed! We are happy to welcome this new palette of well-beloved Shelter, more solid and saturated and just as wonderfully cozy. It's as if Brooklyn Tweed heard us wishing for Shelter colors "but just a tad more solid, please." The new Shelter colors are tonally (and totally) compatible with the original Shelter shades, so now we have the colors in between to play with!

Zig-Zag-Zummer
Designed by Nomad Stitches and crocheted by Julie B. in Shibui Knits Twig
Nomad Stitches’ Zig-Zag-Zummer is a versatile cropped crochet top with simple construction and a filet crochet design at the bottom. The top is reversible, so you can choose to wear the lower V-neck at the back or front. We’ve kitted it up in Shibui Twig (46% linen, 42% recycled silk, 12% wool), a unique plied yarn that creates a finished fabric that is cool, soft, and drapey.
