Advertiser Spotlight: Webs

Once again I am here to talk to you about “America’s Favorite Yarn Store”, WEBS! I had the opportunity to get a glimpse into the World of WEBS this past weekend at Stitches Midwest. Their yarn selection there was fantastic and everyone working there was incredibly friendly and helpful.

Right now through August 31, take advantage of their Summer Sale. You can save even more on their discounted closeouts!

Things to look forward to for Fall: many great new yarns coming in, Webs’ Fall Catalog should be finding it’s way to your mailbox very soon and new Valley Yarns patterns should be available online shortly!

Advertiser Spotlight: Cheezombie

sorry for the lack of posts lately. we are back with many things to share with you!

Today we are focusing on Cheezombie, one of our Summer 2010 advertisers. Cheezombie owns an Etsy shop that shows all of her adorable funky little knitted creatures. She started her Etsy shop almost two years ago and has had great success in sales.

From what she has available today, Cheezombie focuses on cute alien type toys with big eyes, amigurumi, cute seahorses and some garden toys. Many of her designs are offered as “flat knit” versions as well.

You can also find Cheezombie designs on KnitPicks, through their Independent Designers Program.

Advertiser Spotlight: Spud & Chloe

We love Spud and Chloe. We love everything about them: the yarns, the patterns,the logo, the swag. Not to mention that the staff is made up of some of the nicest, most kind people on the planet. We had the opportunity to meet Linda (owner), Val and Merri while at TNNA (check out their CUTE booth!) and it was like we were visiting our best friends.

Spud and Chloe is a division of Blue Sky Alpacas. They offer the quality yarns that you expect from Blue Sky Alpacas, in mod, fun colors and three different yarn weights: Fine, Sweater and Outer. And get this: they are ALL machine washable. Machine Washable. Every mother’s dream!

Petite Purls feels a kinship with Spud and Chloe because we share a birthday. Both Petite and Spud came on the scene in June 2009. Spud and Chloe were welcomed to the fiber world at last year’s Summer TNNA, with Petite Purls just a couple days later.

From the beginning, Spud and Chloe has been a wonderfully generous sponsor of Petite Purls, not only as an advertiser, but also when it comes to yarn support. Many of our designers have had the opportunity to use their yarns, and they are supporting our entire Back to Basics collection. Without their support in all of these ways, Petite Purls would hardly have a leg to stand on, so we thank Spud and Chloe from the bottom of our hearts.

But enough about us! What’s new for Spud? They have recently added some new, fun colors to their yarn palette, as well as some incredibly adorable patterns. Oh, have we mentioned that one of our faves, Susan B. Anderson, is the curator of the Spud Says! blog and their top designer? What a lucky lady, huh?

To celebrate Spud and Chloe’s first birthday, they are hosting a fabulous giveaway! Not to be missed, for sure! Check out the blog and make sure you leave a comment to be entered into the drawing. And don’t forget about their wonderful package on our Birthday Giveaway! You have two chances to win great Spud and Chloe swag!

Congratulations to Spud and Chloe on year one! We look forward to seeing what great and adorable things you come up with in year two!

Summer 2010 is Live!

Our silly blog isn’t letting us upload pictures, so this is just a teaser.

Go check out the new issue! Happy Summer Solstice!
