I fell down a bit on Boxing Day. Now I live in the United States and it’s really not a thing here. But you know where it is a thing? The UK where the wonder dyer from the The Corner of Craft podcast Chromatic Yarns lives. And she had an unprecedented 20% off sale. And I was flush with Christmas money burning a hole in my pocket..
All of her yarns are Dungeons and Dragons themed. I have never played and know next to nothing about it. But what I do know is that I LOVE this purple speckle madness. I picked up three skeins of her Sturdy DK in the Eldritch Blast color.
And Hannah tucked in a small package of tea from Bird and Blend Tea Co. It was Dozy Girl, a chamomile bedtime blend and it was AMAZING.
As for the yarn it is going into my stash. I’m feeling like I want to track down a solid contrast color in DK and make striped sweater or shawl/blanket thing. For now I’m content to admire and pet the pretty skeins while feeling glad I supported an independent dyer who busts her butt to make a quality product.
Just curious, did anyone else score any kind of Boxing Day deals?
I don’t celebrate Boxing Day, but I am pretty sure, on Dec 26, I was still in a Christmas cookie coma!
Does this mean you originally from the UK? Or are you Canadian? I think I maybe bought my yarn to make a Minion on or near Boxing Day.
Nope, American. But the vendor I bought from is from the UK so I joined in her celebration
I bought from Hannah’s sale too. I got a Corner of Craft pin and a skein of yarn. I love her work.
We actually do Boxing Day big in Canada, but I unfortunately was away with my family and didn’t get to partake:(
Beautiful yarn!
