Hinkston Handmade Trunk Show!

Nothing makes us happier than when we get to share a new (to us, at least!) yarn with you - except when it's a local-ish one -- in which case, we're not just happy. We're ecstatic.


We bumped into Erin of Hinkston Handmade and her gorgeous self-striping sock yarn at the Middle Tennessee Fiber Festival in Dickson back in March and almost fell all over ourselves trying to arrange a trunk show in (literally) the closing moments of the festival.

She was as excited as we were and we're thrilled to let you know that we've got a pretty full range of Erin's kaleidoscopically spectacular yarns in store right now! Erin will be with us in person THIS Friday and Saturday from 10am until 4pm! If you're local or in town for the Super Summer Knitogether retreat (!!!), pop in and see these gorgeous skeins IRL!
