Welcome to the 2023 ChemKnits Chanukah Special! Every night of Chanukah (plus a few nights beyond) there will be a new yarn dyeing video <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFvm3Bz7dhaXfzKFFk8X9ZuL_OmSwL-ot" target="_blank">on the ChemKnits Tutorials YouTube Channel</a> published at 8:30 PM Eastern Time. These nightly videos will run from 12/7/23 - 12/17/23. <div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?si=51ECpMN8eymqYcE5&list=PLFvm3Bz7dhaXfzKFFk8X9ZuL_OmSwL-ot" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><div><br /></div><div>At 8:30 PM Eastern Time each new Chanukah Special video will air as a live premiere on YouTube. The premiere comes with a live chat room so you can chat with me and we can react to the video and the yarn together. The video will be available on demand once the premiere ends. For planning purposes, here are the approximate lengths of the videos and what nights I will not be part of the live chat. </div><div><br /></div><div>At 8:30 PM there is a couple minute countdown before the premeier begins. These runtimes are approximate. Most videos are between 30-45 minutes long. </div><div><ul><li><a href="https://youtu.be/jqCtVA9eyYQ?si=hWuE7noF908AdYwW" target="_blank">12/7 Night 1</a> - Runtime ~36 minutes<br /></li><ul><li>The first night!

Select skeins of yarn are up to 60% off starting 11/8/2023 and going through 11/21/2023. In this blog post, I will keep track of the 2023 discounts and special deals, share my picks for the best discounted bare yarn bases, and talk about my general shopping strategy for both <a href="http://shrsl.com/4aqoy" target="_blank">KnitPicks</a> and <a href="https://shrsl.com/4aowo " target="_blank">WeCrochet</a>. I do this every year, and I'm excited to see what the 2023 KnitPicks Big Sale has in store for us!

Occasionally they even release new yarn bases! In the past these new yarn bases have included limited edition ("special reserve") bases, "Oops" colorways of Chroma, new bare yarn bases, and more. I always have my fingers crossed for new bare yarn bases. </div><div><br /></div><div>Some of the Big Sale deals span multiple days, and others are only avilable for a day or two. Of course, I write this assuming that this year's Big Sale will be <a href="https://www.chemknits.com/2022/11/2022-knitpicks-big-sale-summary-and.html" target="_blank">similar to 2022</a>, which I cannot say for sure. <a href="http://shrsl.com/4aqoy" target="_blank">KnitPicks </a>and <a href="https://shrsl.com/4aowo " target="_blank">WeCrochet </a>carry a lot of similar items, and usually individual products that are on both websites are marked down the same amount. However, there are often different coupon codes and order minimums between the two sites which is why I will be sharing both here. </div><div><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Active Deals at KnitPicks and WeCrochet</h2><div>The Big Sale has a combination of discounts that last the entire sale, weekly specials, and deals that are only valid for 1-2 days. In years past I would keep a running list of all of the active deals and discounts, which gets long and harder to look through. In 2023, I will post the current active deals here, and then archive them down at the end of this blog post once there are new specials. There are often similar deals at both KnitPicks and WeCrochet, but some of the details (such as minimum orders for free shipping) can be slightly different. Some of my favorite freebies from the past enclude enamel pins and project bags. </div><div><br /></div><div>Please note that most coupon codes are limited to one use per customer, so you can only get one freebie. (However, you can make purchases at both KnitPicks and WeCrochet!) Make sure you see the store websites for full terms and conditions. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">KnitPicks Active Deals</span></h3><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Daily Deal:</b> <i>The KnitPicks Big Sale is over for 2023, but there are Black Friay deals!

My Big Sale Shopping Strategy</h2><p>The KnitPicks Big Sale typically ends before Thanksgiving (11/23/2023). This year the big sale ends 11/21/2023. Historically there is a discount coupon on Black Friday, and then a smaller coupon off of your entire purchase for the rest of cyeber weekend. <i>In 2021 and 2022, KnitPicks had a 25% off coupon for Black Friday and then 20% off coupon for the rest of cyber weekend. </i>We cannot guarantee that these discounts will be available in 2023, but I base my Big Sale shopping strategy around the potential of site wide coupons towards the end of the year. <i style="background-color: #ead1dc;">EDITED 11/9/23 - I found a postcard in a recent order that confirmed the discounts will happen for 2023! See above in this post. </i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH_7Fl_tLqcPfjE2-F38BA1zt4TmuIOmMypxKLlhcfw3rx58iJrvy66SQzEUOc-8C_ZmM8GAVoN7HkqCA3r7YZJQG3wdwsmwthfCavOBFQvTewxzor2qpRGq7O1bRcd44G7KkuBKGr5GC9-pizWYRm_kQF4C-TEnDwKe029ymIypmXjXElrqAXfM26uolx/s960/86c3e12831ab8f96312d9693e40e853e__Rotator-Main_Black-Friday_2023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="454" data-original-width="960" height="151" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH_7Fl_tLqcPfjE2-F38BA1zt4TmuIOmMypxKLlhcfw3rx58iJrvy66SQzEUOc-8C_ZmM8GAVoN7HkqCA3r7YZJQG3wdwsmwthfCavOBFQvTewxzor2qpRGq7O1bRcd44G7KkuBKGr5GC9-pizWYRm_kQF4C-TEnDwKe029ymIypmXjXElrqAXfM26uolx/s320/86c3e12831ab8f96312d9693e40e853e__Rotator-Main_Black-Friday_2023.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>Save 25% off KnitPicks and WeCrochet sitewide with the code "THANKS25" 11/23/23- 11/24/23 for Black Friday! (affiliate links) See websites for full details.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Should I order then yarn I want now or wait for Black Friday?</h3><p> I typically will purchase yarn that is 30%+ off during the Big Sale and then wait in case there is a coupon code later for full price items or items that are 20% off or less - if it is something I want to buy in bulk. If you have yarn you need for a specific project, go ahead and buy it now! I buy hundreds of skeins of yarn a year for the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/chemknitstutorials" target="_blank">ChemKnits Tutorials YouTube Channel </a>where I film yarn dyeing videos so I am always looking to maximize the savings I get on bare yarn. </p><p>On the Retail KnitPicks website, you can save 15% off bare yarn if you buy a 20 pack. (<i>The available 20 packs are now on each individual bare yarn listing page versus all being in one place.) </i>If you have a 20% off coupon and use that on your bulk bare yarn purchase, you have a 28% savings from the retail price. If you have a 25% off coupon and stack that on the 20 pack 15% discount, you save ~36% off of retail price. This is why I will typically purchase the yarn I want that is marked down at 30% off or more for the Big Sale. </p><p><i>Note: <a href="http://shrsl.com/4aoxz" target="_blank">Bare yarn is available at WeCrochet again</a>, there was a period of time when it was no longer listed here. Unfortunately I have not found any options for a bulk 20 pack of bare yarn on the WeCrochet website, so I recommend ordering your bulk bare yarn through the KnitPicks retail (or KnitPicks Wholesale website.) </i></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Should I purchase everything in one order?</h3><p>This is your call, but I typically place multiple orders during the Big Sale at both KnitPicks and WeCrochet, depending on the special deal. (<i>I have a collection of project bags, pouches, and enamel pins from past Big Sales. I adore them!) </i>The KnitPicks Big Sale comes with a lot of discounted products, but then there are also coupon codes in the daily and weekly deals. You can only use one coupon code per purchase. I tend to make a list of what I want to purchase at the beginning of the big sale and then place multiple orders while I wait for a good freebie or even the coupon that historically comes on Black Friday. </p><p>My goal is to hit the free shipping minimum with every purchase. I order a LOT of yarn, and tend to stock up on the materials for my videos during the Big Sale. At <a href="http://shrsl.com/4adjr" target="_blank">WeCrochet you get free shipping on orders of $45+ in the US</a>, and at <a href="http://shrsl.com/4adjm" target="_blank">KnitPicks you get free shipping on orders of $65+</a>. There are minimums for free shipping to Canada, the UK, and Australia, but those minimums are higher. This strategy may not be for everyone - as I mentioned I order hundreds of skeins of bare yarn a year so I am always looking for good deals.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjbX19aNHneq8xG5uAP7i1QccXshCsdAqDac7QLCJjsx1qP9xVoPLTGl9TN_gr_ZphZfcHYaPUKwyC5eLLCezMRD-HeHe_NkOfimuXcmwJTSo5PqxYx99pG1jovKfmt79JipZLq1mm6BX9jHOLZ32LhVJ1uwEbrBIpv9I7CHYRawTUx7d55t9SWBZp5HMt/s861/Screenshot%202023-11-09%20115952.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="861" data-original-width="420" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjbX19aNHneq8xG5uAP7i1QccXshCsdAqDac7QLCJjsx1qP9xVoPLTGl9TN_gr_ZphZfcHYaPUKwyC5eLLCezMRD-HeHe_NkOfimuXcmwJTSo5PqxYx99pG1jovKfmt79JipZLq1mm6BX9jHOLZ32LhVJ1uwEbrBIpv9I7CHYRawTUx7d55t9SWBZp5HMt/w195-h400/Screenshot%202023-11-09%20115952.png" width="195" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsnl8fmrW6QBVAaAYmjGT6Us0PJvdlQfB3oNnRyUM56eqkha4nqFRhglSuLiMIfE3O8sRzpyME60aG_bryKrTMqgi62g5fl3eVyYc0rLWB7rU8NhPwcLSu_n_dN_0bA1Wc8ZoiQh6zIw9KHxt9gHGQnN8Ww7ASYXOHbRP5EqtQg5J1tLQyqXWID8wtI5x6/s833/Screenshot%202023-11-09%20120336.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="833" data-original-width="386" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsnl8fmrW6QBVAaAYmjGT6Us0PJvdlQfB3oNnRyUM56eqkha4nqFRhglSuLiMIfE3O8sRzpyME60aG_bryKrTMqgi62g5fl3eVyYc0rLWB7rU8NhPwcLSu_n_dN_0bA1Wc8ZoiQh6zIw9KHxt9gHGQnN8Ww7ASYXOHbRP5EqtQg5J1tLQyqXWID8wtI5x6/w185-h400/Screenshot%202023-11-09%20120336.png" width="185" /></a><br /><i>My first order (left) so I could get a free project bag. </i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Other items I want (right) that I plan to order later. </i></div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>New Yarn Bases! </b></h3><div>In the middle of the 2023 Big Sale KnitPicks released some NEW yarn bases!

It has some stunning barber polling in some of the skeins. <b>Impressionist </b>is 80% Merino / 20% Nylon, also sport weight. I'm not entirely sure why these are sold in 25 g balls of yarn, this makes me raise my eyebrows as full price is $11.99 / 25 g. I'm a little disappointed because it looks so soft and fluffy. <div><br /></div><div><b>Y2K </b>Is a new bulky yarn line that is 93% Superfine Alpaca / 7% Nylon and the names of the colorways made me giggle. <i>I think that I first discovered these yarn bases in a livestream on Friday 11/17. </i>Names include "Fetch" "Whassup" "Chillax" and "Lowrise Jeans" and this Oregon Trail Generation / Elder Millenial is dyeing to see what this feels like. It looks like there is a chain construction, which feels perfect for bringing up memories of making icords in my childhood. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFCt8Ys7d6IP8j4mjeDsHRmfQQP0r8KKhsELsEdiAUyzuseSsRppVjdNQ2dJhEIH9e9Uqgli5bLIT6fGtOg4t6QHyjLOfSgxcn74t5XmD8MYUXjUXQQ1Q9ThuXXYXwqvRgAOUdGot24aafW_KyAEDJ3QyeWjqSiEt1TS2-lnIGQKp_jHOoHOEUb4XDHWOB/s1743/Screenshot%202023-11-20%20070237.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="554" data-original-width="1743" height="204" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFCt8Ys7d6IP8j4mjeDsHRmfQQP0r8KKhsELsEdiAUyzuseSsRppVjdNQ2dJhEIH9e9Uqgli5bLIT6fGtOg4t6QHyjLOfSgxcn74t5XmD8MYUXjUXQQ1Q9ThuXXYXwqvRgAOUdGot24aafW_KyAEDJ3QyeWjqSiEt1TS2-lnIGQKp_jHOoHOEUb4XDHWOB/w640-h204/Screenshot%202023-11-20%20070237.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>Finally, there is <b>Felicini</b>, the sibling of the popular self striping line Felici.

This sock yarn is 80% Superwash Fine Highland Wool / 20% Polyamide. It is 2-ply and dyes up like a dream. </li><li><b>Bare Capretta Superwash</b> - This fingering weight superwash MCN yarn (80% Fine Superwash Merino Wool, 10% Cashmere, 10% Nylon) is a favorite of mine. This is a SUPER good price for the yarn base! </li><li><b>Bare Andean Treasure </b>- This DK weight yarn is 100% baby alpaca and is incredibly soft. I have plans to make myself a whole hat, glove, and cowl set out of this base if I can ever get around to it. </li><li><b>Bare High Desert Worsted - </b>I'm not sure if I've dyed this 100% American Grown Wool non-superwash yarn yet, but I have always wanted to. </li><li><b>Bare Luminance</b> - 100% Silk Lace Weight yarn. This yarn is a delight to dye, but since it is expensive usually ($25.99 / 100 g full price) it is hard to experiment with. I will be picking some up for sure. </li><li><b>Bare Stroll Sock Blanks</b> - Stroll is the yarn base I have purchased more of than any other base ever. It is 75% Superwash Merino Wool / 25% Nylon. These sock blanks are double stranded and stand up to dyeing really well without unraveling. I love that these are $10 each right now! </li><li><b>Bare Hawthrone Sock Blanks</b> - These double stranded sock blanks are knit with the same Hawthorne I mentioned above. For $10 each, this is a great deal! </li><li><b>Bare Gloss Roving</b> - 70% Merino Wool / 30% Silk Roving. I actually have some of this presoaking in my kitchen right now as I'm getting ready to film a new epsiode of Dyepot Weekly focused on this delicious blend. </li><li><b>Bare Stroll Roving</b> - 75% Superwash Merino Wool / 25% Nylon roving. There is now Swish Roving (which doesn't look like it is on sale) as a 100% SW Merino option, but before that the stroll roving was the only superwash option KnitPicks offered. </li></ul><li><b><u>40% Off Bare Yarns</u></b></li><ul><li><b>Bare Swish Bulky - </b>100% Superwash Merino wool, this is a bulky version of one of my favorite DK weight yarn bases. </li><li><b>Bare Paragon </b>- Always a favorite luxe yarn. This sport weight base is 50% Finer Merino / 25% Baby Alpaca / 25% Mulberry Silk. </li><li><b>Bare Reverie</b> - 80% Baby Alpaca 20% Acrylic Brushed. I'm not sure if I've dyed this blend before myself... Why haven't I done it yet? </li><li><b>Bare Stroll Sport - </b>75% Superwash Merino Wool / 25% Nylon. I don't dye sport weight yarn very often at all, but I do have some of this on hand for requests. The fingering weight version of stroll is the yarn I dye more than any other yarn. </li><li><b>Bare Lindy Chain</b> - this is a fun blend for yarn folk who love working wtih plant fibers. This is a chain plied 70% Linen 30% Pima Cotton fingering weight yarn. </li><li><b>Simply Alpaca in Alaina</b> - 40% off This 100% Alpaca yarn isn't marketed as "Bare Yarn", but the whole line is spun out of natural Alpaca colors. It dyes up beautifully!</li><li><b>Bare Merino Style DK</b> - a great option if you want a 100% merino non-superwash yarn. </li><li><b>Bare Capretta </b>- 80% Fine Merino Wool / 10% Cashmere / 10% Nylon I tend to go for the superash version of this yarn (which is 50% off for the big sale), but the non-superwash is also a dream to work with. </li><li><b>Bare Wool of the Andes Superwash Worsted & Bulky</b> - I consider Wool of the Andes to be my workhorse yarn. It is inexpensive and wonderful for hats and other projects. The superash versions (100% Superwash Peruvian Highland wool) are great for if you want something washable. </li><li><b>Bare Hawthorne DK </b>- 80% Superwash Fine Highland Wool / 20% Polyamide. It is 2-ply and dyes up beautifully. </li></ul><li><b><u>30% Off Bare Yarns</u></b></li><ul><li><b>Super Bulky Soft </b>- Super bulky 70% Superwash Wool, 30% Superfine Alpaca. I adore this yarn, I have dyed and knit myself two hats with this yarn base. It is super warm and holds up well during wet snowy weather. </li><li><b>Bare Twill </b>- this is a heavy worsted weight bounch 100% Superwash Merino wool yarn. There are only 149 yards / 100 g, but this was plenty to make my 10 year old a stunning hat (that also fits me.) This yarn is so bouncy and is fantastic for glazing. </li><li><b>Bare Wool of the Andes Roving</b> - this 100% Peruvian Highland Wool Roving is very forgiving and great for your first journey into dyeing roving. I enjoy spinning and dyeing this a lot. </li><li><b>Bare Cotton Boucle - </b>100% Tanguis Cotton. This 2 ply yarn has one thick ply and one thin ply, giving a very subtle boucle effect. I love how this yarn takes up color and I dye it up a lot myself. </li><li><b>Bare Woolen Cotton</b> - 50% Merino Wool / 50% Pima Cotton</li><li><b>Bare Simply Cotton Organic Fingering </b></li></ul></ul><div><br /></div><div>There are some deeply discounted yarn bases that I have left off of this list (I'm looking at you Muse Sock), and mainly because they're not bases I am considering purchasing myself this big sale. I've tried to limit this list to my favorites. Any yarn I listed above that isn't in my shopping cart right now would be because I already have a lot of it in my stash! </div><div><br /></div><div>I also left any of the discounted mini samples from the list. KnitPicks offers 10 g miniskein samples of some popular bare yarn bases for $1.50 each (full price.) These are samples versus bulk packages of miniskeins. They are great to purchase if you want to test out a yarn base without committing to a full hank, but they are not an option for buying the yarn in bulk. If you want to find the samples available, sort the bare yarn page by price low to high. </div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>I am anticipating that the individual discounts overlap between the KnitPicks & <a href="http://shrsl.com/4aqoq" target="_blank">WeCrochet Big Sales</a>, but I'll update if I notice any differences.</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div>If you want to easily find the best bare yarn deals - I recommend clicking on the 50-60% off category on the big sale page, and then sorting items in alphabetical order. Most bare yarn at KnitPicks starts with "Bare" at the beginning - so this is a great way to see the biggest discounted skeins all in one place. (<i>There are a few yarn bases that do not have Bare at the start of the title, but you can usually find those on the <a href="http://shrsl.com/4aoxv" target="_blank">Bare Yarn page</a>.) </i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div>If you are interested in dyeing your own yarn, you don't have to limit your deal hunting to bare yarn bases. You can overdye almost anything, as long as the base color isn't too saturated. I have a whole <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFvm3Bz7dhaXIRZHr6fddigi2KxRphZSx" target="_blank">playlist on YouTube dedicated to overdyeing yarn</a>. Typically I would recommend pastel colors for overdyeing, especially if you plan to dye yarn with food coloring. </div><div><i><br /></i></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Big Sale Shopping Strategy Livestream</h2><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-pTB6lXGUhk?si=fz1-p0dDvrdTlGeX" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><div><i><br /></i></div><p></p><h2>2023 Big Sale Unboxing! </h2><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pbTK20NAWFY?si=EkSqDLEF_UCgk1UA" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><br />Streamed 11/20/2023 at 1:30 PM Eastern Time on YouTube </div><h2>2023 Weekly Deals - Archive</h2><div><i>This archive is in reverse chronological order, with the most recent daily deals first.

Many of these were freebies in previous big sales, but others I purchased myself. 40% off is a great price! </div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2_N_vRBSaroZhA3OwLredwROwJd2Z279IoFMWQdYqTZGA4_mB4XVPTftmaz2vx6fzsUy2U4o4G4mIqwpGG-cttA0FGgBv2FbjzQAT3VSUz9uNY3x08zGjn6YzJfUnToK5iAtICaZzot1C9HIGYFlg2Nb5vYTL5-jkmetLGaojtHT9GGwWTXE2welrLGN_/s780/d80c12f4c32edd0d67dd0d252c64df5c__11.16_DailyDeal_Banner.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="248" data-original-width="780" height="102" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2_N_vRBSaroZhA3OwLredwROwJd2Z279IoFMWQdYqTZGA4_mB4XVPTftmaz2vx6fzsUy2U4o4G4mIqwpGG-cttA0FGgBv2FbjzQAT3VSUz9uNY3x08zGjn6YzJfUnToK5iAtICaZzot1C9HIGYFlg2Nb5vYTL5-jkmetLGaojtHT9GGwWTXE2welrLGN_/s320/d80c12f4c32edd0d67dd0d252c64df5c__11.16_DailyDeal_Banner.jpg" width="320" /></a></li><li><span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">$1.99 Exclusive KnitPicks Patterns </span>11/16/2023 - 11/17/2023<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim2MXRVCFZH31x5nh2lqks60jJjYUyQ-gs1v7LP1vSQZHeuHku6ZCbAp0v0m35DSnwkyCuIjGTZ9yXSaVtbvQ9HOnUnH7c78q4khjJBXDKZNN5T1rJpEfS6aXQojz5Tbft0BSvxak5xp-0TFEW7Es-2mpTXut6v8iMgm9RVpupszPc_GcuzKa2MZy3MMV2/s1106/unnamed%20(4).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="344" data-original-width="1106" height="100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim2MXRVCFZH31x5nh2lqks60jJjYUyQ-gs1v7LP1vSQZHeuHku6ZCbAp0v0m35DSnwkyCuIjGTZ9yXSaVtbvQ9HOnUnH7c78q4khjJBXDKZNN5T1rJpEfS6aXQojz5Tbft0BSvxak5xp-0TFEW7Es-2mpTXut6v8iMgm9RVpupszPc_GcuzKa2MZy3MMV2/w320-h100/unnamed%20(4).png" width="320" /></a></li><li><span style="background-color: #d0e0e3;">Additional 10% off WeCrochet value Packs</span><span><span style="background-color: #d0e0e3;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;">11/15/23 </span></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2yh9f2Zu8aEqhFAvalsw1f1fQAPvWXiz21JgS4DOyFZl-kjC9oo62eumTnUawDrL98Vs_q6kjce-Urvi9hSHzQynWfFqElW4nRaYH6cwC2GWl24CQnKDQKs0nM8ovdOyXedbdW8cnMGNiRiJ9K3BXXRSQA6EClE43nSYwL7_Nb5DLiU9XK_olprlMruXQ/s780/80c6adc73b845880e5e654e67baebf14__DailyDeal_Banner.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="248" data-original-width="780" height="102" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2yh9f2Zu8aEqhFAvalsw1f1fQAPvWXiz21JgS4DOyFZl-kjC9oo62eumTnUawDrL98Vs_q6kjce-Urvi9hSHzQynWfFqElW4nRaYH6cwC2GWl24CQnKDQKs0nM8ovdOyXedbdW8cnMGNiRiJ9K3BXXRSQA6EClE43nSYwL7_Nb5DLiU9XK_olprlMruXQ/s320/80c6adc73b845880e5e654e67baebf14__DailyDeal_Banner.jpg" width="320" /></a></div></li><li><span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">$5 Exclusive KnitPicks Books</span><span><span style="background-color: #ead1dc;"> </span>11/15/2023 </span></li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvMA05UKHAhqJH7PqT5oMvWPwNLU4gcHQ0IeB3lOeSEMj0L9yzPLq5AByK7vtCjUzh-koJqsBfWdVMg6AD8iDsdMME5NS39ubv8iJA27Ji08KY9IGWA3txDJhfpk2EjOjDmZPDI_wMgEOUUGUDPFZjEOyC_t_YrCifu1IoBa5XVhNYwKnfKESrwQ7eHBNH/s960/725183fa7cee0f3c5542e1f10af51511__LandingPage_Daily-Deals_-5-Books.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="368" data-original-width="960" height="123" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvMA05UKHAhqJH7PqT5oMvWPwNLU4gcHQ0IeB3lOeSEMj0L9yzPLq5AByK7vtCjUzh-koJqsBfWdVMg6AD8iDsdMME5NS39ubv8iJA27Ji08KY9IGWA3txDJhfpk2EjOjDmZPDI_wMgEOUUGUDPFZjEOyC_t_YrCifu1IoBa5XVhNYwKnfKESrwQ7eHBNH/s320/725183fa7cee0f3c5542e1f10af51511__LandingPage_Daily-Deals_-5-Books.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><li><span style="background-color: #d0e0e3;">$2/$4/$6 WeCrochet Yarn Sale!</span><span style="background-color: white;"> 11/14/2023 Only.

I love the subtle or vibrant speckles, and the soft control I can get without dissolving the dyes first. There is one small issue, it is hard to know looking at a dye color name or swatch online to see how it will speckle. Therefore, I <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFvm3Bz7dhaVbGfG9npXYtHCi4XQGLR93" target="_blank">dye crude swatches with acid dyes</a>! I like to take a little bit of the dye powder and put it on wet yarn to compare to other colors. This way I know when I pick colors for speckles I am picking colors that will look different from one another. </p><p>This post is part 2 from a post I wrote almost two years ago sharing photos of <a href=" http://www.chemknits.com/2021/04/swatching-acid-dye-powders-on-yarn.html" target="_blank">crude acid dye swatches on yarn through April 2021.</a> This post is going to be very similar - I will have the swatch images plus a caption with the acid dye brands and names below so you can search this post to find the colors you're interested in comparing. I have also linked the videos where I made the swatches so you can see how the dyes perform in a YouTube video. </p><p>Are there any other colors you would like me to swatch? I'm already planning on doing more in 2023! </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9rfGGIkZ2KSzZtWYS-FYbRlCX3CeOnJT1n0G16ptfrQQu7ijSXXuLTjn9Lk0FCt-s2J7oELacemm_4L7wUc8HMXSpGZ-SNR-3WZzXZRoCoIi7HX-6vD5w2f_k1YPiziZRwB6xX33aO-RYfSx-Tgfg_ll3NeVFA1RUy3IJNO7bdfDEU2hP1Umf8lDSSA/s1920/2021-06%20Dyepot%20PS%20Purple%20Swatches%20all%20brands.png" style="font-style: italic; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9rfGGIkZ2KSzZtWYS-FYbRlCX3CeOnJT1n0G16ptfrQQu7ijSXXuLTjn9Lk0FCt-s2J7oELacemm_4L7wUc8HMXSpGZ-SNR-3WZzXZRoCoIi7HX-6vD5w2f_k1YPiziZRwB6xX33aO-RYfSx-Tgfg_ll3NeVFA1RUy3IJNO7bdfDEU2hP1Umf8lDSSA/w640-h360/2021-06%20Dyepot%20PS%20Purple%20Swatches%20all%20brands.png" width="640" /></a></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://youtu.be/tihfkL21gRQ" target="_blank">Swatching all of my purple acid dyes across multiple brands. </a><span style="text-align: left;">Key: PC - PRO chemical and dye, D - Dharma acid dyes, J - Jacquard Acid Dyes, PF - Paradise Fibers acid dyes and GS - Greener Shades.

While you can technically dye any yarn that is light enough to accept more color, sometimes you want a blank canvas so you have the most control over the final colorway. Where do you buy your bare yarns to dye? </p><p>In this post, I will list many online retailers of bare or undyed yarn as of January 2023. I will note in the descriptions which companies I've purchased from, received free product from, or am waiting to try out. The companies below vary from large yarn brands with dozens of different undyed yarn bases to smaller companies that maybe only have one or two options. </p><p>I have two older blog posts on this topic. The most recent post <a href="http://www.chemknits.com/2018/01/where-to-buy-bare-yarns-undyed-yarns.html" target="_blank">from 2018 on Where to Buy Bare Yarns</a> is now out of date (as is the <a href="http://www.chemknits.com/2010/01/where-to-purchase-undyed-wool.html" target="_blank">even older post from 2010</a>!) </p><i>This post contains affiliate links which means that I earn a commission from sales made through these links. I will note my affiliation with the company in their bullet. </i><br /><div><br /><ul><li><a href="http://shrsl.com/3v7a5" target="_blank">KnitPicks</a> (Affiliate Link) - KnitPicks is the first company I purchased bare yarn from, and I feature this yarn frequently in yarn dyeing tutorials on the ChemKnits Tutorials YouTube Channel. You can purchase individual skeins of bare or natural undyed yarn through the retail site with a free shipping minimum of $65 USD. I love KnitPicks because you can also purchase solids of many of the same yarn lines to work with your hand dyed yarn. There are no longer bulk 20 packs of bare yarn on the retail website (see below for wholesale options), but you can save 10% off 10 skeins of many bare yarn lines <u><a href="http://shrsl.com/3v7a4" target="_blank">with the code "MYYARNPACK" through 12/31/22</a></u>. (See the KnitPicks website for full terms with the coupon. This doesn't work on every bare yarn base, but appears to work on multiple.) <i>Full Disclosure, I became a KnitPicks Affiliate in October 2017, but I have been using these yarns for YEARS before I started officially promoting them.</i>)<br /><br /></li><li><a href="http://shrsl.com/3v7a3" target="_blank">KnitPicks Wholesale</a> (Affiliate Link) - KnitPicks now offers wholesale options where you can save 20-40% off the retail pricing. I'm making this its own category because the wholesale portal is a separate section of the website. The wholesale pricing is 20% off packs of 20 skein and 30% off 50 packs. Select yarn bases (some of the most popular ones) are available for 40% off packs of 100. KnitPicks coupons don't work through the wholesale portal, but it is awesome to be able to purchase my favorite bases at a discount that is better than it used to be through the retail website. Free shipping is available on orders over $400. <i>Full Disclosure, I became a KnitPicks Affiliate in October 2017.)<br /><br /></i></li><li><a href="http://www.wool2dye4.com/" target="_blank">Wool2Dye4</a> - Wool2Dye4 offers so many incredible yarn bases at fair prices. I think they have more variety in undyed yarn bases than any other brand listed on this page. Their customer service is incredible and their boxes are always shipped in a very sturdy way. Wool2Dye4 has wholesale discounts for registered businesses on orders of 5 kg or more, however their retail pricing is very fair. I love that they offer cones of bare yarn, skeins outside of the standard 100 g (10 g, 20 g, 50 g, and even bigger than 100 g in some cases) and also super long skeins that are perfect for self striping yarn. <a href="https://www.chesterwool.com/" target="_blank">Chester Wool Co</a> is the related brand that has warehouses in the UK and the Netherlands. <br /><br /></li><li><a href="https://bit.ly/3IEV40H" target="_blank">Paradise Fibers </a>(Affiliate Link) - Paradise Fibers is a great source for undyed spinning fiber and undyed yarn. I've dyed a lot of their rovings and combed tops on YouTube. In 2021 Paradise Fibers released <a href="https://bit.ly/3WJZg3j" target="_blank">their own brand of acid dyes</a>, and the dyes are super pigmented. When you are exploring the website, you can select "undyed" under search refinement to help you find what you're looking for. Their customer service is excellent and responsive. (<i>Note, I became a Paradise Fibers Affiliate in June 2018 and they have sent me free products to review on multiple occasions. I also unbox their Fiber of the Month club subscription every month on YouTube.) <br /><br /></i></li><li><a href="https://www.knomadyarn.com/" target="_blank">Knomad Yarn </a>- Knomad offers a lot of staple bare yarn bases (100% superwash merino and Merino/Nylon blends) but they also have some unique bases that I love. Knomad sent me samples to dye in 2022 and I'm excited to try out some of their newer select yarn lines that have even softer merino wool. If you are a registered business you can set up a wholesale account for more discounts on Knomad Yarn. <br /><br /></li><li><a href="https://www.dharmatrading.com/" target="_blank">Dharma Trading</a> - I've never used any of <a href="https://www.dharmatrading.com/clothing/natural-yarns-for-dyeing.html?lnav=default.html" target="_blank">Dharma's dyeable yarns</a>, but they have multiple natural and synthetic bare yarn options. I know other dyers who have used Dharma's bare yarn and have been happy with the results. Dharma's acid dyes are some of my favorite dyes to use to dye yarn, and it is nice that you can also get undyed yarn at the same time. Dharma also has a <a href="https://www.dharmatrading.com/clothing/p-roving-landing-page.html" target="_blank">wide variety of dyeable rovings</a> that include cellulose and synthetic fibers. I've never dyed 100% cellulose spinning fiber, and I'm excited to give it a try. <br /><br /></li><li><a href="https://www.bareyarns.com/index.html" target="_blank">Yarn Undyed / bareyarns.com </a>- Bareyarns.Com is the website for US based shoppers, but they also have websites for UK and EU shoppers. There is a HUGE assortment of bare yarn options. I have never ordered any yarn from Yarn Undyed, but I know other dyers who order from here regularly. They offer free airfreight shipping on orders over $100 in case you are worried about expensive international shipping. <br /><br /></li><li><a href="https://www.ashlandbay.com/" target="_blank">Ashland Bay</a> - The website is available for wholesale accounts, but you may find Ashland Bay bare yarn through other online retailers. I haven't personally tried any of their bare yarns, but I know that they are popular with other indie dyers. They even provide sock blanks! Unfortunately, you can't set up a retail account with them. <a href="https://www.ashlandbay.com/terms-conditions" target="_blank">In order to set up a wholesale account</a>, you have to commit to spending $750/year and send them a copy of your business license within the fiber/textile industry. I no longer can find the list of online/in person retailers of Ashland Bay Yarn through their website as of January 2023, but three online suppliers (who are also on this list) who offered Ashland Bay Yarn or Spinner Fiber in the past are WEBS, Paradise Fibers, and Fiber to Yarn. <br /><br /></li><li><a href="https://www.yarn.com/" target="_blank">WEBS America's Yarn Store</a> - The local yarn store on the web that has the domain yarn.com, has a limited selection of<a href="https://www.yarn.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=undyed&button=search" target="_blank"> natural undyed yarns</a>. (Search their site for "undyed" for the results to come up.) They do, however, offer a wide selection of <a href="https://www.yarn.com/categories/fiber" target="_blank">undyed spinning fiber</a> as roving and top. I have ordered dyed yarn from WEBS plus a lot of spinning fiber in the past, although I'm not sure if I've dyed any of it on YouTube yet. I don't live that far from the WEBS warehouse but have never made a visit there, I hope to someday! <br /><br /></li><li><a href="https://woolery.com/yarns/bulk-yarn-for-dyeing.html" target="_blank">Woolery </a>- I consider Woolery to be more of a spinning resrouce than a bare yarn resource, but they do have a few bare yarn options. However, they have a huge selection of bare and undyed roving. I have made multiple purchases from Woolery in the past including some dye-lishus treated cotton yarn that you can dye with acid dyes. They even have a <a href="https://woolery.com/dyeing.html" target="_blank">whole dyeing section</a> that includes seeds for setting up your own dye garden! <br /><br /></li><li><a href="https://acmefibres.com/product-category/undyed-yarns/" target="_blank"> ACME Fibers </a>- This Canadian company offer a variety of weights and fiber bases. All of the prices are listed in Canadian dollar. I'm not sure what international shipping would cost to the US - the recommend adding items to your cart to see what the estimate would be before checking out. There is free shipping on Canadian orders over $200 CAD. I haven't ordered from here personally, but I wanted to include a Canadian source for our friends to the North. <br /><br /></li><li><a href="https://shop.elitespun.com/ " target="_blank">Elitespun</a> - This is another Canada base company that offers a variety of yarn bases. I found a price list for the dyeable yarns on their site, but it doesn't look like they have pictures of the individual yarns. You will need to contact them directly for price lists, but it looks like they have options for you to order samples and set up a wholesale account. <br /><br /></li><li><a href="https://www.artigina.com/en-ca/product-category/yarns/bare-yarns" target="_blank">Artigina</a> is another Canadian retailer that sells dyes and single skeins of bare yarn recommended to me in the ChemKnits Lab Facebook Group. The have dozens of bare yarn bases plus sock blanks. They offer free shipping over $89 for most places in Canada. It doesn't look like the offer international shipping, but I'm happy to include more resources for Canadian indie dyers! <br /><br /></li><li><a href="https://indiedyer.com/" target="_blank">Indie Dyer Yarn</a> - I was a bit confused by the title of this company at first because it sounds like it could be a market place for indie dyers to sell their yarn, but it is a bare and undyed yarn supplier! They offer a lot of staple bare yarn bases and some really unique ones. There are wholesale options available but as of January 2023 I couldn't determine the terms. <br /><br /></li><li><a href="https://www.maritimefamilyfiber.com/collections/all" target="_blank">Maritime Family Fiber</a> - Bare yarn from a small family farm and a small mill located in Maine. The offer wholesale pricing, bulk bare yarn, and even a sample kit you can get where you can see a 4 oz skein of a lot of the bases. <br /><br /></li><li><a href="https://www.fibertoyarn.com/search?q=undyed" target="_blank">Fiber to Yarn </a>- They have limited 4 oz skeins in stock, but they also sell some dyeing kits. It looks like this might be a good place to try out some single skeins of Ashland Bay yarns before committing to a bulk order. <br /><br /></li><li><a href="http://www.pacificwoolandfiber.com/spinning-fibers.html" target="_blank">Pacific Wool and Fiber</a> - It looks like Pacific Wool and Fiber currently is only stocking bare unspun fibers, but they certainly have a lot of wheel and wheel accessory options. They carry a nice variety of wool breeds so you can have some choices for the fiber types you want to dye and spin. <br /><br /></li><li><a href="https://quinceandco.com/" target="_blank">Quince & Co</a> - Quince & Co offers many beautiful commercially dyed yarns, but almost all of the lines also have an undyed option. There is no bulk pricing, skeins are sold individually. I always love when I can buy a pure solid to go with a skein of the same base I dye myself. They no longer have a category specifically for bare yarns, so you will need to look through the yarn bases to find what you're looking for. This is a great option for undyed yarn if you've ordered from them before - it is awesome to start dyeing a yarn base you already are familiar with. <br /><br /></li><li><a href="https://www.lambandwool.com/shop" target="_blank">Thirteen Mile Lamb & Wool Company</a> - This small company offers a variety of natural wool yarn colors in addition to some plant dyed colors. With their natural colors, you can specify whether you would like sport, worsted, or bulky weight in the given natural undyed colorway. I'm not sure if there are other minimums, but this company also does have a <a href="https://thewoolmill.com/" target="_blank">wool mill</a> for spinning yarn from fleece<br /><br /></li><li><a href="https://www.laxtons.com/product-category/yarn-shop/" target="_blank">Laxtons </a> - A UK based yarn shop that offers a lot of bare and undyed yarn options. I'm not sure if they ship internationally or not. <br /><br /></li><li><a href="https://roosteryarns.com/undyed-yarn/" target="_blank">Rooster Yarns </a>- This is another UK based company with undyed and bare yarn. You need to become a wholesale customer to order through the website. I've heart others talk about this company but I have no personal experience with them. <br /><br /></li><li><a href="https://revolutionfibers.com/search?type=product&q=undyed**" target="_blank">Revolution Fibers </a>- Undyed fiber and some yarn, too. <br /><br /></li><li><a href="https://mountainmeadowwool.com/collections/yarn" target="_blank">Mountain Meadow Wool </a>- There are three yarn bases with a natural (and therefore undyed) option in each of them. This doesn't appear to be specifically a bare yarn company, but there are at least a few options. <br /><br /></li><li><a href="https://www.jaggeryarn.com/spun-yarns/undyed-natural-yarns-2/" target="_blank">Jagger Spun Yarn </a>- You need a wholesale to buy the natural and undyed yarn directly from Jagger, but you can also find a list of retailers on their website where you can purchase from with retail pricing. <br /><br /></li><li><a href="https://achildsdream.com/undyed-yarn/" target="_blank">A Child's Dream</a> - Child's Dream only has 3 different options for undyed yarn as of January 2023 and include single ply undyed wool or wool/mohair blends in worsted, bulky, and super bulky weights. The yarns appear to come the Brown Sheep Yarn Company in Nebraska. <br /><br /></li><li><a href="http://shrsl.com/s5d2" target="_blank">Darn Good Yarn</a> (Affiliate Link) - They offer a limited selection of dyeable yarns that vary from wool to silk sari ribbon. As of January 2023 there is only the sari ribbon yarn available. You can purchase the yarns in individual skeins. (<i>Note, I became a Darn Good Yarn Affiliate Marketer in February 2018.)<br /><br /></i></li><li><a href="http://shrsl.com/3v7a9" target="_blank">Lion Brand Yarn</a> (Affiliate Link) - While not really an seller of undyed yarns, I need to include Lion Brand on this list since the first ever yarns that I dyed were<a href="http://shrsl.com/qy41" target="_blank"> Lion Brand Wool Ease</a> in the color Fisherman. This yarn is 80% acrylic, 20% wool but it still takes up food coloring surprisingly well. I know that a lot of my followers like to use <a href="http://shrsl.com/qy47" target="_blank">Sock Ease in Marshmallow </a>(75% wool, 25% nylon) because it is something that they can find in big box stores without needing to shop online. Sometimes I struggle to find some of the dyeable yarn lines in retail stores, but you can find them directly through the Lion Brand Website or even sometimes WeCrochet. (<i>Note, I became a Lion Brand Affiliate in January 2018.)<br /><br /></i></li><li><u><a href="http://shrsl.com/3v7a6" target="_blank">WeCrochet</a> </u>(Affiliate Link) - A sibling company to KnitPicks, there are limited bare yarn options here now. One perk of WeCrochet is that they also offer Lion Brand yarn and have lower minimums for free shipping ($45) thank KnitPicks ($65.) However, the only bare yarn left on WeCrochet are the Chroma, Wonderfluff, and Curio lines where the bare yarn options are on the same page as the dyed options. (<i>I am a WeCrochet Affiliate) <br /><br /></i></li><li>Your Local Yarn Store (LYS) - Not all local yarn shops sell bare or undyed yarn, but there is no harm in visiting your local shop to see if they sell any. While online shopping is convenient, it is always wonderful to support brick and mortar businesses. Your LYS isn't the best source if you want to buy a lot of bare yarn in bulk for dyeing, but it can be a handy place to find a pastel or natural colored skein to start dyeing. <br /><br /></li><li>Big Box Stores like Michaels and JoAnn's - While you won't come up with many yarn options (or any at all) if you search of bare or undyed yarn at these two major US retailers of craft supplies, you can find some dyeable yarn in the stores. (However it is hard to find 100% wool yarn in person at these retailers.) The first yarn I ever dyed with Lion Brand Wool Ease, and this is a line you can sometimes find in big box retailers. If you want to dye yarn with food coloring or acid dyes, I recommend looking for yarn that is at least 20% wool or another animal fiber. 100% acrylic/polyester yarn is a lot harder to dye. </li></ul><div><br />Did I include your favorite place to purchase bare yarn in the above list?

I am also going to include some of these patterns of examples of what you can do with one of your favorite existing patterns. </p><p><b><u>Free Scrappy Knitting Patterns</u></b></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><a href="http://www.chemknits.com/2011/11/ombre.html" target="_blank">Ombré</a>, designed by me! This is a hat pattern that uses worsted weight, but you could increases the stitches in multiples of 4 to blend thinner yarns for the hat. I love using this with scraps of solid colored yarn I have on hand, but it would be also fun to blend variegated ones. </li><li><a href="https://shop.hedgehogfibres.com/collections/patterns/products/scrappy-marl">Scrappy Marl Hat </a>- A stockinette hat with a ribbed brim that is a great way to show off a lot of colorways. Knit with two strands of fingering held together (or DK weight yarn) </li><ul><li>This hat shows off how a lot of fun stockinette hat or sock patterns can be used with remnant yarn. If your yarn has a lot of speckles or color variation, then a stockinette pattern can show it off well.</li></ul><li><a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/scrappy-socks-2" target="_blank">Scrappy Socks </a> - <i>This pattern is a free Ravelry Download. </i>A simple stockinette ankle sock knit with fingering weight yarn. The pattern shows off two socks that are knit in different colorways, so you can visualize a pair of mismatched socks. </li><li><a href="https://www.justynaknits.com/post/skrappy-ski-hat-a-free-pattern" target="_blank">Scrappy Ski Hat </a>- Knit with worsted weight yarn, this is a fun colorwork pattern for blending different yarns. </li><li><a href="https://yarnbrary.com/collections/knitting-patterns/products/scrappy-bias-shawl" target="_blank">Scrappy Bias Shawl</a> - uses 200 g of fingering weight yarn. It looks like it is knit in garter stitch. I love blending different yarns together with garter stitch projects. </li><li><a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/happy-scrappy-fingerless-mitts" target="_blank">Happy Scrappy Fingerless Mitts </a>- <i>This pattern is a free Ravelry Download. </i>This patterns shows off solid yarn, but imagine the fun you could have with the Chanukah Sampler yarn! This pattern is written for fingering weight with a self striping yarn, but you could put your won stripes into it. </li><li><a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/scrappy-block-socks" target="_blank">Scrappy Block Socks</a> - <i>This pattern is a free Ravelry Download. </i>Knit in fingering weight yarn 400-490 yards. Want to go a bit beyond stripes or a fade? Pick minis that have some contrast and work them in this fun colorwork pattern. </li><li><a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/super-scrappy-socks" target="_blank">Super Scrappy Socks </a>- <i>This pattern is a free Ravelry Download. </i>This is a super fun pattern that includes some contrasting colorwork between color changes to really make the different sections pop. </li><li><a href="https://mariannaslazydaisydays.blogspot.com/2020/11/sideways-scrappy-scarf_28.html" target="_blank">Sideways Scrappy Scarf - </a>Knit in garter stitch with DK weight yarn, you can use up remnant yarn for a fun vertical stripped pattern. </li><li><a href="http://www.goddesscrochet.com/2017/11/20/scrappy-bias-scarf-free-knitting-pattern/">Scrappy Bias Scarf </a>- Knit in Aran weight yarn, but you can adjust the number of stitches to do this with fingering or DK weight. A bias is a great way to blend different colors because the diagonal stripes are super fun to wear. </li><li><a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/scrappy-cowl-2" target="_blank">Scrappy Cowl</a> - <i>This pattern is a free Ravelry Download. </i>This is a fade to blend different minis together. The pattern is written for fingering weight yarn, but it wouldn't be hard to adapt for a DK weight project. The Chanukah Samplers aren't designed to be a fade set, but you could still blend the transitions in a super fun way. </li><li><a href="https://andresueknits.wordpress.com/2019/06/24/remnants-shrug/" target="_blank">Remnants Shrug -</a> It is written as a one size fits most pattern, but I did look at the pattern and it would be easier to make bigger or smaller since it is knit as a rectangle. I would personally double check my arm span measurements and then also measure a towel across my back to get a sense of the dimensions that would work for me personally. However, I'm including this in the list as an idea of what you could do with another stockinette shrug or even sweater. </li><li>Garter stitch projects are wonderful for blending different yarns together, even if they aren't intended as a fade. </li></ul><div><br /></div><p><b><u>Free Scrappy Crochet Patterns </u></b></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><a href="https://mypoppet.com.au/makes/scrappy-corner-to-corner-crochet-blanket/" target="_blank">Scrappy Corner-to-Corner Crochet Blanket</a> - I haven't doing any C2C crochet projects yet, but I've always wanted to do a colorwork version. I love the idea of a scrappy blanket to use up remnant or miniskeins! The sample was knit with DK weight yarn. </li><li><a href="https://mypoppet.com.au/makes/crochet-basket-scrap-yarn-projects/" target="_blank">Scrap Yarn Crochet Basket </a>- I adore this pattern. It is written for you to hold multiple strands of yarn together, which I don't love to recommend for the Chanukah yarn... BUT I love the idea of taking remnants from a bunch of projects and including them in a basket you use to hold yarn or other works in progress. </li><li><a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/scrappy-blanket-ii" target="_blank">Scrappy Blanket 2 </a>- <i>This pattern is a free Ravelry Download. </i>A chevron throw blanket that features so many different colorways. Since it is a blanket you could use almost any yarn weight.</li><li><a href="https://makeanddocrew.com/crochet-bucket-hat-free-pattern" target="_blank">Scrappy Bucket Hat</a> - written for worsted weight yarn, but you can imagine how you can combine different colors for a more structured hat.</li><li>Granny Square Projects - In general yarn scraps are wonderful for projects made out of these fun blocks. I'm not linking to a particular pattern, but a lot of scrappy granny square projects are available.</li></ul><p></p><p><b><u>Other Recommendations</u></b></p><p>The following video was recommended to me in one of the Chanukah premieres.

You can see where I'm right and where I was wrong! </p><p><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><i>I am a KnitPicks & WeCrochet affiliate marketer, so the links in this post are affiliate links and I do earn commissions on sales made through my links. </i></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidQ1DrBeUlGC_gJz38zBnnFlYvgNL-h1F15jresq4Ph-Ko_nPvn-A5h0ftMhicFL8N3P5cfPP-p0r2ODZCB9EdDLIP-i_N0St5FomZrEki0kP2WUcV6DJlnLcVESy6bZquP4OU7R4NJM04eVGzbFz4fJPjXNsVrnIW8ajvMdE44zUwMqLD3RshNQInRA/s960/600b9128d99fb2cddc07486b78f802c3__Rotator-Main_Big-Sale_2022.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="454" data-original-width="960" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidQ1DrBeUlGC_gJz38zBnnFlYvgNL-h1F15jresq4Ph-Ko_nPvn-A5h0ftMhicFL8N3P5cfPP-p0r2ODZCB9EdDLIP-i_N0St5FomZrEki0kP2WUcV6DJlnLcVESy6bZquP4OU7R4NJM04eVGzbFz4fJPjXNsVrnIW8ajvMdE44zUwMqLD3RshNQInRA/w478-h225/600b9128d99fb2cddc07486b78f802c3__Rotator-Main_Big-Sale_2022.jpg" width="478" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCo-4U-yVErxhaY5Gi5BJfALr7bdE48KW-qVTbFANx7bd-1eQ7FK1kTWhTeQUnVkSfYRc2iWN3YuecaLq7bFPlwS-Nn5Q6J-l_dXtft3sGalQpu8HW7zd7OCq27kNG5lIPstSQXP3Lt0d4o6MQa9Y4pSdUm0VwFpk9WkjI1OClNesy3C6vqsI5NUgJPw/s960/1c90cf8bf961e97caa7499e2b165b133__HPRotator1_BigSale.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="454" data-original-width="960" height="231" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCo-4U-yVErxhaY5Gi5BJfALr7bdE48KW-qVTbFANx7bd-1eQ7FK1kTWhTeQUnVkSfYRc2iWN3YuecaLq7bFPlwS-Nn5Q6J-l_dXtft3sGalQpu8HW7zd7OCq27kNG5lIPstSQXP3Lt0d4o6MQa9Y4pSdUm0VwFpk9WkjI1OClNesy3C6vqsI5NUgJPw/w490-h231/1c90cf8bf961e97caa7499e2b165b133__HPRotator1_BigSale.jpg" width="490" /></a></div><i><div><br /></div></i><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>2022 Weekly Deals - KnitPicks</b></span></p><p>Some deals last longer than others, here are some of the deals that are available on KnitPicks and WeCrochet in 2022.Most coupon codes are limited to 1/person/website, so you can often use the same code on both KnitPicks and WeCrochet. </p><div>In previous years of the Big sale, there have been some freebies that lasted the entire sale.

At the beginning of the sale, I make a list of the yarn that I would like - but I don't purchase all of the yarn right away. I try to make sure I have enough to get free shipping ($65+ USD) and then look to see about getting the minimum needed for a freebie. I also hold out in case there is a daily deal (think $3/yarn day) so I have enough for free shipping on those days, too. </p><p>In past years, I had advice on discounted yarn to purchased during the big sale versus waiting for a (hopeful) Black Friday % off coupon. <a href="http://www.chemknits.com/2022/09/new-knitpicks-wholesale-for-indie-dyers.html">KnitPicks recently made some changes to bulk bare yarn purchases</a>, adding some wholesale options for indie dyers and removing bulk discounts from the retail website. This means that my advice on when to buy bare yarn during the big sale has changed a bit. </p><p><a href="http://shrsl.com/3s87i" target="_blank">KnitPicks Wholesale bare yarn discounts</a> range from 20% off packs of 20 to 40% off packs of 100 (on select bases.) These discounts do NOT stack with coupon codes from the retail website, which means that I'm no longer waiting to use a 25% off coupon on Black Friday to use on a 20 pack of bare yarn (25% off of the bulk pack that was already15% off is ~36% off the base price.) My old advice was to get anything that was 40% off or more. This year, I'm not recommending holding off on purchasing any bare yarn if the discount looks good in early November. </p><p>Personally, I will probably jump on any bare yarn I love that is over 20-25% off. At the time of writing this post (11/8), the big sale hasn't started. But I'm hoping we get some new Special Reserve or Limited Edition bare yarn lines! </p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Build Your Own Value Pack</b></span></p><p><a href="http://shrsl.com/3s878" target="_blank">The Build Your Own Value Pack </a>discount stacks with the big sale, at least as of 4:45 PM 11/9/2022. With this sale, add 10 or more skeins from a featured yarn line and use the code "MYVALUEPACK" for 20% off this personalized pack. I just purchased 10 stroll sock blanks, 30 skeins of Bare Swish DK, and 10 skeins of Bare Wool of the Andes Superwash Worsted... and got 20% off all of it with this coupon. </p><p>I did not expect this discount to work on the big sale, and in fact earlier in this post I wrote "however I do not expect it to stack with any big sale discount." This may change. However, in my livestream we also realized that this works on more than just the yarn bases listed below. There are many bare yarn lines that work under "MYVALUEPACK" - see the listing description to see whether the yarn works with this sale. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSRpTa2IXBcPm3BQ1VQ5GWpoSCUeMg_Qf_rDzx8hilpw5MDHjTcEM4bSnckxA1TlLmThlt2iZO-Go0-u6UiMsTXh-2sWFFdCNOpbYBcm1DEUfdffvlayXp9T_DBqtaOFuCWH8VjHiv-AGDItr-3uUxhDhO_DCSoi-q_aHkKGML6463BvvXDiy4i0BTfg/s960/403858b825c6d0e2f962827ef0988b58__LandingPage_Build-VP_2022.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="368" data-original-width="960" height="245" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSRpTa2IXBcPm3BQ1VQ5GWpoSCUeMg_Qf_rDzx8hilpw5MDHjTcEM4bSnckxA1TlLmThlt2iZO-Go0-u6UiMsTXh-2sWFFdCNOpbYBcm1DEUfdffvlayXp9T_DBqtaOFuCWH8VjHiv-AGDItr-3uUxhDhO_DCSoi-q_aHkKGML6463BvvXDiy4i0BTfg/w640-h245/403858b825c6d0e2f962827ef0988b58__LandingPage_Build-VP_2022.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>These yarn bases include in this promo include: Wool of the Andes (Sport, Worsted & Bulky), Swish (DK, Worsted & Bulky), Palette, Stroll Fingering, WOTA Superwash (Worsted & Bulky), Twill, High Desert, and Brava.

KnitPicks Wholesale for Indie Dyers + Build Your Own Value Packs for Retail Customers<p>KnitPicks now has a <a href="http://shrsl.com/3pehg" target="_blank">wholesale option</a> for indie dyers with discounts of 20-40% off of bulk packs of yarn! (Affiliate link) This is an exciting change for business owners who love KnitPicks yarn. </p><p>In this post I am going to answer some questions about the new wholesale accounts. These answers come from the perspective of a customer, I do not have any inside information to KnitPicks. I did not reach out to KnitPicks for clarification on any of these questions. <i>Please note that this post contains affiliate links to </i><a href="http://shrsl.com/3peh7" target="_blank"><i>KnitPicks</i> </a><i>which means ChemKnits earns commissions on purchases made after clicking on the links. </i></p><p>I found signing up for the wholesale account to be a fast and easy process. You will need to create a new account with an email that isn't the one you use on the retail website. I got personal assistance from a representative who reviewed my application to make sure that I had everything set up correctly. My account was approved within a few hours of the application. </p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Can retail customers still get bulk discounts on the retail website?</span></b></p><p>Yes, sort of. Historically, KnitPicks offered 15% off of pack of 20 skeins of bare yarn, but this option is no longer available. However, under the "Sale" tab on the website there is an option to <a href="http://shrsl.com/3pefr" target="_blank">Build your own value pack on select yarn bases</a>. With this sale, <b>add 10 or more skeins from a featured yarn line and use the code "MYVALUEPACK" for 20% off the personalized pack.</b> I tested the code on 10 skeins of Bare Stroll Fingering weight yarn and bare Wool of the Andes Sport on 9/15/22 and the discount worked.

I think my strategy will have shifted from previous years, but I'll talk about that once we know more about the big sale. </div><p>EDIT: 11/9/2022 - The "MYVALUEPACK" discount works on a lot more bare yarn purchases than I originally thought. See the listing for it to be mentioned in the item description, but it works on a lot of cotton, alpaca, and other bare yarn bases, too. (It doesn't work on everything, like Bare Comfy worsted, but it did work on Luminance and Super Bulky Soft and others.) </p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">What are the new KnitPicks bare yarn wholesale discounts?</span></b></p><p>All of KnitPicks wholesale bare yarn bases are 20% off packs of 20 skein and 30% off 50 packs. Select yarn bases (some of the most popular ones) are available for 40% off packs of 100. </p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">What yarn bases are available in 100 packs?</span></b></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Bare Muse Aran</li><li>Bare Stroll Fingering</li><li>Bare Stroll Yarn Sock Blank</li><li>Bare Super Bulky Soft</li><li>Bare Swish DK</li><li>Bare Swish Fingering</li><li>Bare Wool of the Andes Superwash Bulky</li></ul><div>Some of this is surprising to me. I'm surprised that Swish Worsted/Bulky aren't at a discount. Same with Wool of the Andes Worsted. However, I suppose I wouldn't buy these in 100 packs anyway, so maybe it's not so bad. </div><p></p><p><i>Information as of 9/16/2022. Subject to change. </i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Can non-business owner customers who like to buy in bulk get wholesale accounts?</span></b></p><p>I don't know. When I signed up I had to provide my Federal Identification Number (EIN) to show that I'm a registered business. I recommend reaching out to KnitPicks customer service to see what they say. <i>As of 9/16/2022, I know a few non-business customers who have applied for wholesale accounts, so I will update this if I hear back from them. </i></p><p><span face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The wholesale application says: "The Bare Yarn Wholesale Program is explicitly for our independent yarn dyeing customers who actively sell hand-dyed or painted yarns, and not intended for resell of Knit Picks products in their original form."</span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Can you use KnitPicks coupon codes on wholesale purchases?</span></b></p><p>No. Coupon codes on the retail KnitPicks website cannot be used on the wholesale platform. </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Is there free shipping with wholesale purchases?</b></span></p><p>Yes, although the minimum purchase is higher than on the KnitPicks retail website. As of September 2022, you can get free shipping on orders over $400. Shipping is a flat rate for purchases below $199 ($10 shipping) and for $200-$399.99 ($15). There are also tiered shipping discounts for Canadian customers with free shipping over $600 USD. </p><p>With the retail pricing of free shipping over $65 USD, 20 packs used to have free shipping automatically. However, I typically would buy multiple 20 packs at once, so I don't think I'll have any issue hitting the $400 minimum. I suppose it would be worth a cost benefit analysis to see if it is better to pay $10 for shipping or to pay full retail price through the retail website if you need to make a small order. Also - note the "MYVALUEPACK" option on the retail website for small purchases of some of the most popular bases. </p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">What about WeCrochet?</span></b></p><p><a href="http://shrsl.com/3pegk">WeCrochet </a>(KnitPicks sister company that offers most of the same products) doesn't appear to have bulk 20 packs of bare yarn anymore, nor do they link to any wholesale options. As of September 2022, some bare yarn lines seem to be missing from the website, so I'm not sure if there is an update there or not. </p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">How do I feel about this change?</span></b></p><p>I feel fantastic! When <a href="http://shrsl.com/3peh7" target="_blank">KnitPicks </a> recently raised prices on a lot of their yarn lines I was considering switching to another supplier. (<i>I was working on a whole blog post about the pricing changes and the feelings I was considering.) </i> The wholesale option brings the prices of KnitPicks bare yarn down to where they were years ago, and even a bit lower if I buy 100 packs. This means I can continue to support the business where I first started buying bare yarn, so I'm thrilled. </p><p>I am disappointed that retail prices are more expensive for the average customer. I hypothesize that some of the price increases are to allow KnitPicks to offer such big discounts to indie dyers... and this could be the reason why Stroll is now more expensive than Stroll glimmer (historically glimmer was $1 more per skein.) The KnitPicks retail website does still have great advantages for new dyers - including solids in the same yarn lines, low minimums for free shipping, an easy to navigate website, and more. Please let me know your thoughts on these changes below. </p><p><i>Please note that this post contains affiliate links to KnitPicks which means ChemKnits earns commissions on purchases made after clicking on the links. </i></p>ChemKnitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14213678329121195352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641435769028603452.post-25280830350265586042022-09-07T12:18:00.004-04:002022-09-07T12:18:53.953-04:00Preorder the 2022 ChemKnits Chanukah Sampler!<p><span style="font-size: var(--global-fontSizes-heading-md); white-space: pre-line;">You can now </span><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1300252397/2022-chemknits-chanukah-sampler-10g-mini" rel="nofollow noopener" style="cursor: pointer; font-size: var(--global-fontSizes-heading-md); font-weight: var(--global-fontWeights-body) !important; white-space: pre-line;" target="_blank">preorder the 2022 ChemKnits Chanukah Samplers </a><span style="font-size: var(--global-fontSizes-heading-md); white-space: pre-line;">in the ChemKnits Creations Etsy shop!

I will release each dyeing video (1-8) after sunset EST on the corresponding night of Chanukah. The bonus videos for any add on colorways will be released after the 8th night. Release dates will be included in a letter inside the samplers. All of the yarn dyeing tutorial videos will be publicly available on the ChemKnits Tutorials YouTube Channel. <a href="https://tinyurl.com/2022ChemKnitsChanukah" rel="nofollow noopener" style="cursor: pointer; font-weight: var(--global-fontWeights-body) !important;" target="_blank">https://tinyurl.com/2022ChemKnitsChanukah</a></p><h3><strong>WHEN WILL SAMPLERS SHIP?</strong></h3><p style="font-size: var(--global-fontSizes-heading-md); line-height: 1.5; margin: 10px 0px !important;">2022 Chanukah Samplers will ship in early November 2022. </p><h3>ARE THE SPARKLE and DK ADD-ONS THE SAME COLORWAY?</h3><p style="font-size: var(--global-fontSizes-heading-md); line-height: 1.5; margin: 10px 0px !important;">No, each add-on base will have a unique colorway. The DK and Sparkle bases on their own are quite different looking, so I will be dyeing each a colorway to complement the beautiful yarn using different techniques. They may both be featured in the same dyeing video, or I might split it up into two different videos. </p><h3>CAN YOU COMBINE SHIPPING FROM MULTIPLE CHANUKAH ORDERS?</h3><p style="font-size: var(--global-fontSizes-heading-md); line-height: 1.5; margin: 10px 0px !important;">No. Due to the volume of orders, in 2022 I will not combine shipping of orders of multiple samplers or add-on skeins that are ordered after the initial sampler order. Thank you for your understanding. </p><h3>I FORGOT TO PURCHASE AN ADD-ON SKEIN, CAN I ORDER IT SEPARATELY?</h3><p style="font-size: var(--global-fontSizes-heading-md); line-height: 1.5; margin: 10px 0px !important;">Yes! As long as you ordered a <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1300252397/2022-chemknits-chanukah-sampler-10g-mini" rel="nofollow noopener" style="cursor: pointer; font-weight: var(--global-fontWeights-body) !important;" target="_blank">2022 Chanukah Sampler</a> you can purchase an add-on. Please note that for 2022 I cannot combine orders into one package, but you are welcome to place multiple orders.</p><h3>CAN ALL OF THE MINIS BE USED IN ONE PROJECT? IS THIS A FADE SET?</h3><p style="font-size: var(--global-fontSizes-heading-md); line-height: 1.5; margin: 10px 0px !important;">All of the miniskeins will feature the same 75% Superwash Merino / 25% Nylon yarn base in either Fingering Weight or DK weight. These can easily be combined in one project, however they are not being dyed with a specific fade or colorwork project in mind. There will be a variety of dye techniques on each of the minis ranging from speckles, semi solids, and more.</p><h3>CAN YOU ACCOMMODATE COLOR PREFERENCES?</h3><p style="font-size: var(--global-fontSizes-heading-md); line-height: 1.5; margin: 10px 0px !important;">No. The colors will be a surprise (which is part of the fun!) While each sampler won't necessarily be identical, the techniques used for each night will be similar across samplers.</p><h3>CAN I OPEN THE BOX ONCE IT ARRIVES AND AVOID SPOILERS?</h3><p style="font-size: var(--global-fontSizes-heading-md); line-height: 1.5; margin: 10px 0px !important;">You can open the box to avoid spoilers on the yarn colorways. The yarn mini-skeins are all wrapped. The “fun extras” will be spoiled as they are visible in the box, but you won’t spoil any of the colorways or dyeing techniques by opening up the sampler box.</p><h3>THE ITEM I WANT SOLD OUT - WILL YOU BE RESTOCKING THEM?</h3><p style="font-size: var(--global-fontSizes-heading-md); line-height: 1.5; margin: 10px 0px !important;">I always hold back some Samplers until after I have shipped out the pre-orders. There will be a small restock early November. I never offer preorders for yarn or bases that I do not currently have in my possession. </p><h3>WHERE CAN I FIND THE VIDEOS?</h3><p style="font-size: var(--global-fontSizes-heading-md); line-height: 1.5; margin: 10px 0px !important;">The videos will be published on the ChemKnits Tutorials YouTube channel starting Sunday December 18, 2022 at 8:30 PM EST. You can find all of the videos as they are published in the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFvm3Bz7dhaUk9n2Zt_HHoKLXFnCj5ySS" rel="nofollow noopener" style="cursor: pointer; font-weight: var(--global-fontWeights-body) !important;" target="_blank">2022 ChemKnits Chanukah Special Playlist</a>. </p><p style="font-size: var(--global-fontSizes-heading-md); line-height: 1.5; margin: 10px 0px !important;">The ChemKnits Chanukah videos are available to everyone, you do not have to purchase a sampler to join in on the fun. </p><h3><strong>WHAT IS A YOUTUBE PREMIERE? </strong></h3><p style="font-size: var(--global-fontSizes-heading-md); line-height: 1.5; margin: 10px 0px !important;">A YouTube Premiere is when the video airs as a live event for the first play through. If you join the video a few minutes late, you will start watching in the middle of the video, like it were a live TV event. (However, you can rewind to start at the beginning.) After the premiere is the video, the video will be available to watch on-demand. </p><p style="font-size: var(--global-fontSizes-heading-md); line-height: 1.5; margin: 10px 0px !important;">One fun feature of premieres is the live chat room, where you can chat and interact with other viewers while watching the video. </p><h3><strong>WILL CHEMKNITS BE IN THE LIVE CHAT FOR THE PREMIERE? </strong></h3><p style="font-size: var(--global-fontSizes-heading-md); line-height: 1.5; margin: 10px 0px !important;">I will be in the live chat during the video premieres as often as I can, but I may miss some nights due to family holiday celebrations. Chatting in the live premieres is one of my favorite parts of special series like this, I love watching you predict the colors and techniques that are coming up. </p><p style="font-size: var(--global-fontSizes-heading-md); line-height: 1.5; margin: 10px 0px !important;"><img data-media-id="167337687" src="https://c10.patreonusercontent.com/4/patreon-media/p/post/71609609/340b628de81b43f586ef7bb45c4df848/e30%3D/1.png?token-time=1663804800&token-hash=wbk1fOrQc8WBP4IfwKj2nfNdmUNcPR8b6A77GLXsIrs%3D" style="border: 0px; max-width: 100%;" /></p><p style="font-size: var(--global-fontSizes-heading-md); line-height: 1.5; margin: 10px 0px !important;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #241e12; font-family: system-ui, Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /></p></div>ChemKnitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14213678329121195352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641435769028603452.post-54198668036434246062022-05-23T14:06:00.001-04:002022-05-23T14:06:19.761-04:002022 Spring Mini Skein Mini Series!<p><span data-offset-key="7s39e-0-0" face="aktiv-grotesk, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #241e12; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Welcome to the </span><a class="sc-1bctqj2-0 qOIqX" href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFvm3Bz7dhaUZ2TnWetqGvZtoacqabpHN" style="color: #004c81; cursor: pointer; font-family: aktiv-grotesk, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span data-offset-key="7s39e-1-0">2022 Spring Mini Skein Mini Series</span></a><span data-offset-key="7s39e-2-0" face="aktiv-grotesk, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #241e12; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">!

I plan to dye more of both this week with yarn I already have. I am also placing a new yarn order tonight - I would never list a preorder on a base that I do physically have, but there is a chance that I can release more.</p><h3>Let's Play with Color!</h3><p style="font-size: 1rem; line-height: 1.5; margin: 10px 0px;">Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm super excited to talk more about the series! The colors are stunning and I want to keep a set in every colorway and every base, I'm truly going to struggle to pick one. </p></div>ChemKnitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14213678329121195352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641435769028603452.post-10003806064754542802021-11-07T11:08:00.042-05:002021-11-27T09:18:11.565-05:002021 KnitPicks Big Sale - Predictions and Tracking the Awesome Deals!<p>The KnitPicks Big Sale starts Monday 11/8/2021 and goes through 11/24/2021!

As of 11/7/2021, here are my predictions on what we might see. Actually, maybe most of these are hopes versus predictions. What things are you hoping to see? (<i>Note - all of these predictions are based on things we've seen in years past.) </i></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b>Dollar Skein Day</b> - limited colors and yarn</li><li><b>Limited Edition Yarn!</b> Sometimes there are colors that were developed but not released, other times there are limited runs of new lines. One year we even got 12 new bare yarn bases! I really hope for some new bare yarn.</li><li><b>Free Enamel Pins with Purchase</b> - There are usually lots of freebies with minimum purchases during the big sale. I love getting some of these notions and for some reason enamel pins make me super happy. </li><li><b>Free Yarn with Purchase </b>- This is another frequent daily deal I wouldn't be surprised to see again. </li><li><b>Big Discounts on Tools</b> - Ball winders, swifts, yarn bowls, and/or blocking mats. </li></ul><p></p><p>I will be tracking all of the daily deals further down in this post. Was I right with my predictions? </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>2021 Daily Deals</b></span></p><p>It is possible that "Daily Deals" will work differently for the 2021 Big Sale than they have in the past. The "Current Deals" button on the Big Sale page leads to the general sale tab on both the KnitPicks and WeCrochet Websites. It looks like there will be both weekly specials in additional to daily deals. I will do my best to track them all below with the dates they're active. </p><p><b><a href="http://shrsl.com/38see" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: medium;">KnitPicks Big Sale Special Deals</span></a></b></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>WEEKLY PROMO: 11/8/21 - 11/13/21: $20 Off Palette Mini Boxes with code "20PALETTE" The palette boxes are fingering weight 100% Peruvian Highland wool that is perfect for colorwork.

I'll update this sections as soon as I have more information! The Big Sale sites were first opened up at 10 AM EST on 11/8/2021 so I'm not sure if this is when all of the updates will take place. In the past updates have come at 8 or 9 AM. </i><br /><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>What is my Big Sale shopping strategy?</b></span></p><p>I usually place many orders during the big sale. Why do I spread it out? I like to wait in case there is a daily deal which has a high order minimum so I can take advantage of the freebies while ordering yarn I wanted to order anyway. </p><p>KnitPicks Bare yarn is always available for 15% off <a href="http://shrsl.com/38os5" target="_blank">when you buy 20 skeins at a time. </a></p><p>I typically recommend buying bare yarn that is 30%+ off during the big sale if it is a yarn you buy in bulk normally. (<b>Remember that the individual skein deals don't stack with the bulk discount!</b>) Why? If there is a 20% off coupon for black Friday (like there has been in years past) a 20% Discount on top of a 15% off discount is a net 32% off discount. (Math - .85*.8 = 0.68) </p><p>If there is a yarn I buy in bulk that isn't more than 30% off for the big sale, I will wait in case there is a % off coupon code later on. The one obvious caution - if you need the yarn and don't want it to sell out don't wait! This is a great way to get some fun freebies or daily deals that require order minimums. </p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">ChemKnits Picks for Best Yarn Deals in 2021</span></b></p><p>I am a <a href="http://chemknitscreations.etsy.com/" target="_blank">yarn dyer </a>and I source a lot of my bare yarn from KnitPicks. (Way back to the f<a href="http://www.chemknits.com/2009/08/first-try-100-wool-colorway.html">irst ever 100% wool skein of yarn I dyed</a>!) I am going to focus on talking about bare yarn lines that are the most discounted and sharing the yarn lines that are my favorites. </p><p>The bare yarn lines I use the most in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/chemknitstutorials" target="_blank">my yarn dyeing tutorials</a> are Stroll, Swish, Hawthorne, and Wool of the Andes. </p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Hawthorne Sock Blanks (80% Fine Peruvian Highland Wool /20% Polyamide double stranded sock blank) <b>These blanks are 50% off</b>! Hawthorne is a 2 ply higher twist yarn than Stroll so there is less yardage, but the blanks dye up beautifully and I've used them a lot. <i>These blanks only appear to be on the KnitPicks Website.</i></li><li><strike>Bare Chroma Twist Bulky (70% Superwash Wool, 30% Nylon) <b>50% off</b> - this is another fun high twist yarn that I've used in a number of videos.</strike> <i>Update</i> <i>11/9/21 this isn't showing up anymore for me.</i></li><li>Bare Aristo (70% Merino Wool, 15% Cashmere, 15% Mulberry Silk)<b> 40% off</b> - this is one of the most expensive bare yarns that KnitPicks offers, so this is a FANTASTIC discount. </li><li>Bare Luminance (100% Mulberry Silk) <b>36% Off - </b>This is another expensive bare yarn, luxurious silk laceweight that I've dyed once. I will try to pick up some more. </li><li>Bare Shimmer Lace (70% Baby Alpaca, 30% Silk) - <b>40% off. </b>This is an amazing lace weight yarn that is full of drape and I love it at every weight I've tried over the years. I'm not sure if I've dyed it but I've knit with this before and LOVE it. </li><li>Bare Biggo (50% Superwash Merino Wool, 50% Nylon) - <b>30% off </b> This is a fun 2 ply bulky yarn that dyes up really well. I like some of the other bulky bases a bit more - especially some of the limited edition ones from last year. As of 11/8/21 I'm not sure if there will be limited edition bulky yarn this year so this is a good choice if you want something bulky to work with. </li><li>Bare Curio (100% Mercerized Cotton) <b>32-40% Off - </b>This crochet thread comes in two sizes and is dyeable. At least I think I've dyed it successfully so far. </li><li>MINISKEINS - Usually $1.50 the 10 g mini skein samples are now $1.20, $1.35, or the full price. This is a great way to get some samples to play with before investing in full skeins. </li></ul><div><br /></div><div>Bare Chroma Fingering is also 50% off and Chroma Worsted is 40% off but they come wound into a ball versus in a skein so it isn't one of my top picks. </div><div><br /></div><div>There are so many other yarn bases that are 10-20% off that are worth trying out, especially if they aren't bases that you tend to order in bulk. However, for any yarn that I order in bulk... I try to see if it will be over 30% off to purchase from the big sale (versus waiting for a coupon code later in the year.) </div><div><br /></div><div>As for other clearance yarn - check out pastels and medium tones in yarn bases you like because you can always overdye them! </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Nbu7SEEsZ4g/YYlHOqUl28I/AAAAAAAFt7I/KK8NmXwXwyMV07zBKIOUKiwMLIluuojLgCNcBGAsYHQ/s1496/Screenshot%2B%2528398%2529.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="888" data-original-width="1496" height="359" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Nbu7SEEsZ4g/YYlHOqUl28I/AAAAAAAFt7I/KK8NmXwXwyMV07zBKIOUKiwMLIluuojLgCNcBGAsYHQ/w605-h359/Screenshot%2B%2528398%2529.png" width="605" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>My cart the morning the Big Sale started.

Long before I became a <a href="http://shrsl.com/38op3" target="_blank">KnitPicks</a> affiliate I was a customer and fan. For years I would wait and refresh KnitPicks in the morning to see if it was dollar yarn day. One year there were a bunch of stunning non-released Chroma colors that sold out in minutes. Now there are limits to how much you can buy for some of the deals, but it is still fun to see what "new" and "unreleased" things may come. I started tracking because sometimes I don't know if I should make a purchase using a coupon or hold out for a better deal down the line. Plus, it's fun! </p><p></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><i style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;">I am a <a href="https://shrsl.com/38op3" style="color: #5532bb; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">KnitPicks </a>and <a href="http://shrsl.com/38qj9" target="_blank">WeCrochet </a>Affiliate which means that I earn commission for sales made through my links.

Acid dyes come in a wide range of colors and potency, from premixed pastels to super pigmented dark colors. Almost all of the colors can be very intense when you dye directly with the dry powder - and therefore look very different from how they might look at a 1% DOS on a swatch card. (<i>DOS = grams of dye / 100 g of fiber. A 1% DOS is 1 gram dye / 100 g yarn.) </i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div>This quick method of swatching lets me see if colors might break with speckling and how different colors within one family compare to one another. I've included a lot of these "swatch cards" in my videos, but I wanted to share these images as an easy reference since I look at the again and again. The conditions vary in each example so it is best to compare colors within one image, but hopefully this can give you a rough feel of what you can get with different colors. </div><div><br /></div><div>I am going to add captions with all of the dye names below each of the images so you can easily search this page for the color you want to see. You will find all 40 Jacquard Acid Dye colors and most of the Dharma Acid Dye Collection. The video featuring the swatch is linked below each image so you can hear more about the colors and see how the final yarn from the swatch photo turned out! <i>If I made the swatches in a livestream I linked to the recap so you can see the finished yarn and a summary of the project.</i></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Chanukah begins at sundown tonight, and at 8:30 PM we will kick off the 2020 ChemKnits Chanukah Special! Every night of Chanukah I will release a new yarn dyeing video at 8:30 PM EST on the ChemKnits Tutorials YouTube Channel. These will be scheduled as premieres on YouTube, which means that I will be in the LIVE chat room to react, answer questions, and hang out with all of you as we celebrate with some laughter and warmth. </p><p>All of the videos can be found in the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFvm3Bz7dhaUGrkqibTazb-oEHsydTv1L">following playlist </a>as they are released:</p>
<p></p><center><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLFvm3Bz7dhaUGrkqibTazb-oEHsydTv1L" width="560"></iframe></center><p></p>
After the live premiere, each video will be available as a standard YouTube video so don't worry if you can't join the premiere. I have so much fun hanging out in the chat room with all of you and cannot wait for you to see the colors I created! <div><br /></div><div>The 2020 Chanukah Special will be 11 nights long - 8 nights of Chanukah + 2 bonus full skein dyeing videos + 1 vlog on developing the videos and the Chanukah Samplers. A lot of the techniques I did this year have inspired a lot of other videos that are coming up, so make sure you're subscribed on YouTube!</div><div><br /></div><div>The videos vary in length, so for planning purposes, here is what you can expect (all times are approximate):</div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Night 1 (12/10) - 36 minutes</li><li>Night 2 (12/11) - 45 minutes</li><li>Night 3 (12/12) - 40 minutes</li><li>Night 4 (12/13) - 35 minutes</li><li>Night 5 (12/14) - 40 minutes</li><li>Night 6 (12/15) - 46 minutes</li><li>Night 7 (12/16) - 1 hour 2 minutes</li><li>Night 8 (12/17) - 35 minutes</li><li>Bonus 1 (12/18) - TBD</li><li>Bonus 2 (12/19) - TBD</li><li>Vlog (12/20) - TBD </li></ul></div><div><br /></div><div>To avoid spoilers, I will be scheduling the premieres with generic titles and thumbnails, like the one below. If you would like to avoid further spoilers, don't look in the video description!

I predict that in addition to hundred of skeins up to 60% off for the Big Sale, we will see some "freebie" deals (eg. free item with $65 purchase), some limited edition yarn bases, and $1 patterns. In the past few years, KnitPicks has released a new special daily deal every couple of days in addition to some specials that take place for the duration of the sale. </p><p><span style="color: #800180; font-size: large;"><b><u>Deal of the Day? </u></b></span></p><p>In 2018 and 2019, KnitPicks offered special deals every couple of days.

I had no idea. </div><p></p><p><span style="color: #800180; font-size: large;"><b><u>What deals do I wait for?</u></b></span></p><p>For bare yarn that I buy in bulk, I will jump on discounts that are 40-60% off individual skeins. Skeins that are 20-30% off I will purchase if I only want a couple. <i>(Here is the math: 20% off a 15% discounted bulk pack gives you a 32% discount on the yarn.)</i> Typically KnitPicks has huge site wide coupons on Black Friday and Cyber Monday (In 2018 this was 20% off sitewide but in 2019 this was 25% off!) so I will wait for this for bulk bare yarn purchases since the coupons stack with the discounted bulk purchase. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I LOVE some freebie deals (free enamel pin with $50+ purchase, for example.) There is often a limit on how many times you can use these coupons, but I have been known to place multiple orders during the Big Sale week.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">$1/$3/$5 yarn deals and Limited edition ("Special Reserve") yarns are always a lot of fun. Sometimes these sell out during the big sale, other times they are around for a few years. (Full Circle roving, how I miss you!) For the huge discounted skeins, these can go FAST - within an hour sometimes! </div><div><br /></div><div>Many years ago, KnitPicks offered some "oops" colorways and samples and this was SUPER fun. I would LOVE to see this again. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span style="color: #800180;"><u>Remember: Individual skein discounts don't stack with bulk bare yarn!</u></span></b></span></p><p>You can get <a href="http://shrsl.com/2llab">bulk bare yarn discounts at KnitPicks</a> any time of year, saving 15% off packs of 20 skeins. This bulk discount does NOT stack with individual marked down skeins. For example, if Wool of the Andes Worsted is 40% off, you should purchase 20 individual skeins instead of the bulk pack because there you will only see 15% off. It is ALWAYS worth double checking before you make your purchase! <br /><br />There is a chance that KnitPicks will give deeper discounts for bulk bare yarn, but otherwise I tend to wait for a site wide coupon that historically comes around Black Friday and Cyber Monday. (Again, <i>I have no inside information, these are just predictions based on patterns from previous years.) </i>Site wide coupon codes do stack with the bulk bare yarn discount, so if you have a coupon code, check to see which gives you the better discount. </p><p><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7CwryDzGALs/X6QClxNi7rI/AAAAAAADqLg/0ws-3W4Z4QoHNXg7m3KJYFVQFykM3R9wgCNcBGAsYHQ/s1920/Snapshot%2B-%2B49.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7CwryDzGALs/X6QClxNi7rI/AAAAAAADqLg/0ws-3W4Z4QoHNXg7m3KJYFVQFykM3R9wgCNcBGAsYHQ/w640-h360/Snapshot%2B-%2B49.png" width="640" /></a></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><b style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #800180;"><u>The Biggest Discounts on Bare Yarn in 2020</u></span></b></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span><span>Bare Biggo, Bare Chroma worsted, and Bare Curio are <b>25% off</b></span></span></li><li><span><span>Bare Chroma Twist Bulky is <b>40% off</b></span></span></li><li><span><span>Bare Chroma fingering is <b>50% off</b></span></span></li></ul><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13.2px;">KnitPicks has a dedicated <a href="http://shrsl.com/2luwr">BARE YARN </a><a href="http://shrsl.com/2luwr">tab on the sale page</a>!

You should always dye in dedicated pots and equipment that isn't used for the preparation of food. When dealing with dry dye powder, you need a particle mask or respirator to make sure you don't inhale any dye particles. <div><div><br /></div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lkTEHVfvIyU/XxwzYrsEjDI/AAAAAAADWnQ/Dkv4SIWl208U7WQzmDCQDg0deC3P2znbQCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Snapshot%2B-%2B139.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="281" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lkTEHVfvIyU/XxwzYrsEjDI/AAAAAAADWnQ/Dkv4SIWl208U7WQzmDCQDg0deC3P2znbQCNcBGAsYHQ/w500-h281/Snapshot%2B-%2B139.png" width="500" /></a></div>

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">More Useful Mask Information</span></b><br /><br /></div></div><div><u style="font-weight: bold;">When should you wear your mask?</u><b> </b>Whenever you are dealing with dry powder. I wear my respirator mask whenever I am working with dry dye powder and some other powdered chemicals. I wear it when I am speckling, preparing stock solutions, and other similar techniques. Once dyes are dissolved in liquid, I take off my mask. Many dyers prefer to work from stock solutions because then you can limit the amount of time that you are in contact with the dry powder. </div><div><br /></div><div>Make sure that you're working in a well ventilated area away from children and pets. </div><div><br /></div><div><b style="text-decoration-line: underline;">Make sure your mask fits properly!</b> When you are wearing a properly fitting mask all of the air you breathe will go through the filters. If air goes in and out around the edges of the mask then it does not fit correctly. Please refer to the manufacturer instructions on proper fit for your mask. </div><div><u><b><br /></b></u></div><div><div><b><u>What other safety equipment do I need?</u></b></div><div>You should wear safety glasses/goggles and wear gloves when dealing with powders. I personally prefer to wear nitrile gloves over latex because these were my favorite gloves from when I worked in a lab. </div></div><div><u><b><br /></b></u></div><div><u><b>What is the difference between N100 and P100 filters? </b> </u>These are both good for protecting the wearer from small particles. The "N" means that these are not resistant to oil. The "P" respirators are oil proof. <a href="https://www.envirosafetyproducts.com/respirators-safety-protection/particulate-respirators/n100-and-p100-respirators.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Source</a></div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>How do I know if I have a real N95 or P100 mask? </u></b>Due to the global pandemic, some companies are marketing items as N95 masks that aren't actually NIOSH approved. Please read the following article from the CDC on <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/usernotices/counterfeitResp.html?fbclid=IwAR0C3pGMpIx8X5sUfd7OYbCq5e9FtZQJBWqa4XZUfMBmmaWHMe0MD8iOnvk">Counterfeit Respirators / Misrepresentation of NIOSH-Approval.</a> Try to make your purchases from a trusted vendor. </div><div><br /></div><div><u><b>Can I wear a homemade cloth mask/bandanna for dyeing yarn? </b></u> No. Cloth masks won't filter out the tiny dye particles. </div><div><br /></div><div><u style="font-weight: bold;">What should I use if I cannot get a N95/P100 mask or respirator? </u> If you cannot locate a proper dust mask to wear while using dye powder, I recommend sticking with food coloring (or other dyes that are already available in liquid form like Rit Liquid dyes) until you can acquire proper safety equipment. I know that these masks are harder to find right now due to the pandemic but you shouldn't compromise your safety. It is possible to create stunning colors on yarn with food coloring! </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XRvQc2HjYN0/Xy2uMBJrbEI/AAAAAAADYV4/pSD4mWezp0Ya3OD1hkTq4_pwihuLA3GFgCNcBGAsYHQ/s1280/8.png" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XRvQc2HjYN0/Xy2uMBJrbEI/AAAAAAADYV4/pSD4mWezp0Ya3OD1hkTq4_pwihuLA3GFgCNcBGAsYHQ/s640/8.png" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Have Fun Dyeing Yarn!</b></span></div><div><br />Want some fun tutorials on how to dye yarn?

Just like 2019, this collection of bonus videos will feature dyeing 20 g mini skeins. All of the yarn is 75% Superwash Merino/25% Nylon and in 2020 all of the videos will feature a type of food coloring. COVID-19 has forced me to shift some of my filming plans, but I am so excited that I was able to produce a fun and informative series. Enjoy!</div>

In this post, I will share what I think are some of the best deals of the big sale, keep track of the daily deals, and give some predictions on specials we might see. <i>Please note that I am a KnitPicks affiliate and the links on this post are all affiliate links. This means that I earn a commission if you make a purchase through my links. All predictions below are based on sales from previous years. I have no inside information about what might take place?</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Why is the big sale so spread out? KnitPicks used to offer these discounts on Black Friday/Cyber Monday... but the traffic ended up breaking the site and it caused a bunch of problems. I think that by extending the sale it makes it easier for everyone to get the yarn that they want.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<br />
<h2>
<b>Deal of the Day </b></h2>
Like last year, there will be occasional specials while the Big Sale is running. This year, they gave us a little sneak peek as to when we can expect these deals to come out. <strike>Historically things go live around 9 AM EST but that could change. </strike>The daily deals are active from 5 AM PST - 11:59 PM PST.<br />
<ul>

<li>11/12/19 - $1, $3, and $5 dollar deals! There is a limit of 5 per skein per person, so things might stick around for a few hours. The sale started at 8 AM EST (5 AM PST). I maxed out on the $3 Felici Worsted and grabbed a few hanks of some of the other bare yarns. I also used this as an opportunity to get a free Enamel Pin (use code ENAMELPIN on a $75+ purchase). I grabbed the cat hugging a ball of yarn. </li>

<h2>
What are the best bare yarn deals in the Big Sale? </h2>
<br />
Historically, KnitPicks has a 20% off (almost) everything coupon around Thanksgiving - after the Big Sale ends. This is partly so this coupon doesn't stack with mark downs that are up to 60% off. Therefore, when I am shopping the <a href="http://shrsl.com/1xcxc" target="_blank">KnitPicks Big Sale</a>, I look for yarn bases I order regularly that are 40+% off or bases that I order infrequently that are 30% off or more.<br />
<br />
Why? I take advantage of bulk bare yarn discounts where you save 15% off of bare yarn packs of 20. 20% off after 15% off is a 32% total savings.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Please note: bare yarn markdowns in the big sale do NOT stack with bulk bare yarn purchases. Compare the prices between the bulk bare yarn and the big sale to see which is the best deal. </i></b><br />
<br />
The following list is not in order of importance, but roughly by discount amount.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Stroll Sock Blanks</b> (30% Off) - These usually retail for $19.99 and at 30% off that is a big savings. I prefer KnitPicks blanks to other similar ones because I find they don't start to unravel during the washing process. I will be picking some up in this sale. </li>
<li><b>Bare Surefoot Sock Yarn</b> (50% off) - 40% Superwash Wool, 40% Super Kid Mohair, 20% Polyamide (Nylon), I'm not sure why this yarn doesn't get more attention. I know I'll grab a few skeins at this price! </li>
<li><b>Bare SuperSilk</b> (60% Off) - 52% Superwash Wool, 48% Mulberry Silk, this bulky single ply yarn is beautiful. Too bad it is normally so expensive, but the sale price is a great deal. </li>
<li><b>Bare Capra DK</b> (50% off) - 85% Merino Wool, 15% Cashmere</li>
<li><b>Bare Gloss DK</b> (50% off) - 70% Merino, 30% Silk</li>
<li><b>Bare Biggo</b> (50% off) - 50% Superwash Merino Wool, 50% Nylon I love this bulky yarn so much! It is chunky and dyes up beautifully. I love it so much that I will stock up other pastel colors when they are on sale.</li>
<li><b>Alaina </b>- Simply Alpaca Aran/Heavy Worsted (100% Superfine Alpaca) 40% off. This yarn is so super soft but I haven't dyed it yet. I bought it in a bunch of natural neutral colors last year and they looked so good on their own I couldn't bring myself to dye them. Maybe now I'll take the plunge since I just popped some more of this into my cart. </li>
<li><b>Bare Lindy Chain</b> (30% off) - A linen/cotton blend, this yarn is light and airy. </li>
<li><b>Bare Rustic Wool</b> (40% off) - I forgot how I loved this single ply 100% Superwash Wool fingering weight yarn! I only had one skein in the past but will need to pick up a few more. </li>
<li><b>Bare Swish Fingering</b> (40% off) - This reminds me that I have to do my "old" versus "new" swish fingering comparison. The newer one I got is MUCH softer and is labeled as superwash merino versus superwash wool from the original. </li>
<li><b>Bare Hawthorne</b> (30% off) - This is one of the yarn bases that I use the most. At 30% off I won't pick it up now since I have a healthy stash, but I recommend picking up a few skeins if you've never tried dyeing it. </li>
<li><b>Bare Hare Fingering</b> (40% off) 80% Merino / 20% Angora. </li>
<li><b>Bare Cotton Boucle</b> (30% off) - this 100% cotton yarn made the list because I absolutely love this yarn base. </li>
<li><b>Bare Capretta</b> (40% off) - 80% Fine Merino Wool, 10% Cashmere, 10% Nylon This is the older version of the yarn, it now comes in a superwash version. </li>
<li><b>Bare Alpaca-Merino Boucle</b> (40% off) - this is a fun yarn, but I don't knit with loopy boucle yarns very much. Should I grab some more? </li>
<li><b>Bare Muse </b>(40% off) - A single ply superwash merino Aran weight yarn... this one is yummy and I have yet to dye it. </li>
<li><b>Bare Galileo</b> (40% off) 50% Merino Wool, 50% Viscose from Bamboo Another of my favorites!</li>
<li><b>Bare Paragon</b> (40% off) - this yarn has a stunning drape. 50% Fine Merino (20.5mic), 25% Baby Alpaca, 25% Mulberry Silk</li>
<li><b>Bare Gloss Fingering weight yarn</b>. (40% off) 70% Merino Wool, 30% Silk</li>
<li><b>Bare Cadena Yarn</b> (30% off) - I often overlook this one, but the one time I've dyed it the results were DREAMY! </li>
<li><b>Gloss Roving</b> (30% off) - 70% Merino Wool, 30% Silk</li>
<li><b>Stroll Roving</b> (30% off) - 75% Superwash Merino / 25% Nylon</li>
</ul>
<br />
The above list only includes yarn that is listed as "bare" - there are likely awesome discounted pastel colors that you can overdye, too.<br />

What can I say? I do love KnitPicks Bare yarns!<br />

<br />
<h2>
<b>What are my KnitPicks Sale predictions for the rest of the year? </b></h2>
<b><br /></b>
I do not have any inside information, I can only speak on patterns from previous years. I anticipate a 20% off everything coupon around Thanksgiving itself. If a yarn you use a lot is on sale now and is low stock, don't expect that it will be restocked in time for this sale. Usually in December there might be a buy more and save type coupon (eg $20 off of $100+.)<br />
<br />
20% off KnitPicks coupons are rare and fantastic. The last time there was a 20% off everything sale was July 2019. As for bare yarn specific sales - the sale yarn of the month was bare yarn (so 20% off markdown) in April 2019 and December 2017 so I'm not expecting this to happen again before 2020.<br />
<br />
Based on these patterns, I recommend on stocking up on your most used bases that are more than 40% off now during the big sale and holding out for others that you buy in bulk anyway. However, don't wait too long if you're running low! Waiting for restocks can be super hard.<br />
<br />
<b><i>UPDATE: In 2019, KnitPicks was 25% site wide for Black Friday. 20% off Sitewide Sat-Monday which they extended through Wednesday 12/4/19. They sure surprised me with that 25% off coupon! </i></b><br />
<br />
