Welcome to the last newsletter of 2017!  This year has been a crazy ride.  Moving across the country, buying a new house, setting up a new studio, getting my kids into 2 different schools.  Plus lots of great new colorways and awesome projects from y'all!

I hope to continue bringing you lots of awesome stripey yarns next year as well!

Just one week left to sign up for sock club!

***Important:  If you are already signed up for sock club you are already receiving this club.  Duplicate orders mean a double shipment of yarn.

Packages will begin shipping February 1st-5th. Your last shipment will be mailed out June 1st-5th. Packages should go out between the 1st and 5th everything other month (Feb, April, June).  Sign-ups for the club will end December 15th or when all spots are sold, whichever comes first.

First this week, I have a brand new colorway for you, Diterpene.

It's an even stripey with 7 rows pale avocado, 7 rows brown, 7 rows medium avocado, and 7 rows electric violet.

Diterpenes are a class of chemical compounds composed of two terpene units with the molecular formula C20H32; they may also be thought of as consisting of four isoprene units. They are biosynthesized by plants, animals and fungi via the HMG-CoA reductase pathway, with geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate being a primary intermediate. Diterpenes form the basis for biologically important compounds such as retinol, retinal, and phytol. They are known to be antimicrobial and antiinflammatory.

A.L.I.C.E is a 10 row stripe with golden straw, red, and chocolate brown.

It stand for A Large Ion Collider Experiment.

You can see projects in this colorway here.

Next is Greenhouse Effect.   This colorway has 6 rows each pale pistachio, pale blue, moss green, medium blue, forest green, midnight blue.

The greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be without its atmosphere.

Christmas Tree Nebula is a complex stripey with 7 rows green, 3 rows white, 7 rows red, 3 rows white.
