🚨 STOP SCROLLING. Your stash is about to get a major, irresistible upgrade... 🚨

Yesterday, the delivery truck dropped off a literal mountain of boxes, and we have been frantically unpacking ever since. Our shelves are officially overflowing with your absolute favorite premium bases, including a highly anticipated, massive wave of Malabrigo!

You know how fast these hand-dyed skeins disappear. If you want first pick of the most breathtaking colors, you need to move fast.

🔥 The Unboxing Breakdown:

🦙 Silkpaca: Dreamy, silky, ultra-soft lace luxury.

🧶 Rios: The ultimate wash-and-wear worsted weight we all crave.

⚡ Rasta & Mecha: Thick, squishy, instant-gratification bulky goodness.

🎨 Chunky Section Overhaul: We did a huge color update here. The texture is unbelievable!

The Berroco Core Staples: Need the perfect wool or easy-care blend for a garment? We got fresh, beautiful colorways back in stock for Lanas, Vintage, and Vintage Chunky!

⚠️ Warning: High Risk of Selling Out!

☀️🌿 PATTERN OF THE WEEK: The Holly Bandana is here! ☀️🌿

We had such spectacular weather over the weekend, we just had to take our newest shop sample outside for a little photoshoot! 📸✨

Meet the Holly Bandana by Susanne Müller. This textured beauty was knitted up by our very own yarny-in-chief and Avenue Yarns owner, Rebekah. She used just one single skein of our brand-new Queensland United base in the gorgeous, deep teal shade Kingfisher.

We are so incredibly grateful to our wonderful regular customer, Diandra, for modeling it so beautifully for us in the California sunshine! 🩵

🧶 About the Yarn: Queensland United
If you haven't squished this base yet, you are missing out. It is a super soft wool & cotton blend that gives you the best of both worlds: the breathability of cotton for warm days, and the bouncy memory of wool to keep your stitches looking pristine.

We currently have 20 gorgeous colors available in stock, ranging from soft neutrals to vibrant summer pops!

🤠 Bandana Bananza Starts TODAY!
The timing couldn't be more perfect because our June Make-Along kicks off tonight at Artís Coffee from 5–7 PM! ☕️✨

Now we want to hear from you:
👇 Are you joining our Bandana Bananza June Make-Along? 👇 If so, what pattern and yarn color are you casting on tonight? Let us know in the comments!

Stop by the shop to grab your single skein of Queensland United, or browse the full palette online at the link in our bio! 🏃‍♀️💨
