The Re-introduction of Zealana Yarns
December 10, 2008
The YarnSisters are all fizzing with excitement since we got word that we’ve been chosen as the official distributors for Zealana Yarns in the US!! Some of you will remember us from a year or two ago, running into your shop to drop off samples of Zealana. Some of you placed orders, but unfortunately, some of you never received them… and then we were canned by the importer. It’s a soap opera too long for this blog, but a very bad experience has now become a fantastic opportunity! Our first shipments of yarn have just arrived at our warehouse in Colorado, and we’ll be at TNNA in booths 1352 and 1354. Please come to see us…
…and if you’ll be at TNNA, we’re having a wine & cheese reception to celebrate: June 7th from 6:00-8:00 PM at the Hyatt Convention Center. I’m not sure which room, but look for signs near the bar or ask at the desk. We’ll have factory representatives and wine from New Zealand.
For any of you who were disappointed when you placed orders before, we’ll knock ourselves out to make it up to you.
Zealana ECO Yarns are ready to ship!
December 20, 2008
Now that we’ve all recovered from TNNA and the viruses we caught on the plane, we’re out on the streets again, doing our favorite thing, which is hanging out in yarn shops. If we haven’t called you for an appointment yet, and you’d like to see all of our awesome lines, please call us. We have new Fall yarns from Alchemy, Kollage and Farmhouse, as well as the new Kia Ora line from Zealana. Namaste has a new bag, the Newport, and specials on several. Jill is now representing Bergere de France in part of our territory, as well.
Our warehouse in Monument, Colorado is bulging at the seams with Zealana yarns, and more of the new Kia Ora blends are expected this week.
The Zealana ECO yarns are sporting new labels, and we’ll have several new colors for fall shipments. We’re extending our TNNA special of 10% off and $200.00 minimums until July 15th.
Since we didn’t have time to get all of the Kia Ora dyed in time for TNNA, we had some of the Rimu (Merino and Possum) and Kauri (Merino, Possum & Silk) hand-dyed by Valerie Young at Table Rock Llamas, just to show-off the possibilities. Valerie’s colors were so popular that we sold out, and she is doing more. Marilyn Dakan at Royal Fiber Spinnery dyed some of the Willow (Merino Cashmere) for us, which sold-out as well. In fact, we intend to keep the hand-dyeing line going, for a small premium. Those who purchased at the show will get it at the regular price -lucky you!
