I received an awesome email this morning. Hedgehog has released new colours. 15. I am going to show a few every day.
An order has been placed for Skinny Singles and Sock. We should see these in about 8 weeks.
Another order will be made in a few weeks. We are taking Merino DK to the Frolic. My order will top up our current colours of Merino DK and add new colours.
Deep maroon, with muted multicoloured speckles. A real stunner!
Deep cool green with a gray undertone.
Grays and warm golds with pink, brown and orange speckles. Great transitional colour for fades!
Warm pinky brown, very flattering shade.
Grays, rusts and subtle blue undertones topped of with subtle speckles.If there is a colour you need to have, please send an email to preorder.
- Hedgehog Sock
- Skinny Singles
- Merino DK
- Kidsilk Lace
- Twist Sock
I spent time in the store this morning quickly washing the floors. Then it was off to order cupcakes for Saturday. They won't be in the store until 11:30. I tried for earlier but Cupcakes doesn't open until 10 and we have to give them time to prepare.
It is definitely worth the wait.
It's less than two weeks until the Frolic. Here are a few tips for those coming to the show.
- trust me, there is lots of yarn. If you don't like lines or crowds, wait until noon to come. There will still be lots for you to see. If booths sell out of something, most are more than willing to ship it to you after the show
- bring lunch with you. Then you don't have to stand in line.
- The Science Centre is very close to the Frolic. You can send your family for an outing and it will let you shop for a while.
- wear something that you have knit. It's always fun to see completed projects.
- if you see something you like, mark down the booth you saw it in. I can't tell you how many times we get frantic people at the end of the day because they forgot where they saw something
- go through your Ravelry library and make notes of yarn that you are interested in. If there is a certain pattern, print that pattern and bring it with you. Also bring information on the yarn. What it's made of. Tension. Yardage. That will make it easier for me and other booths to help you substitute. When you come in the store I can do it on the computer but we have limited Internet access at the show.
- please have patience.
- the Frolic isn't just for knitters. It is put on by a knitting guild - hence the name. Crocheters please come to the show. There is lots of fabulous yarns that you and your hooks will have fun working with.

It's only 2:30 and I'd really like to have a nap but I'm going to sit in front of my computer a while longer and do some accounting.
