Curated Collections
A Curated Collection? What is that? We’re glad you asked!
We have assembled a collection of mercerized or unmercerized cotton yarns that will complement your stash of yarn. You get a special deal on these collections: We choose the colors, and you reap the rewards of high-quality yarn in a variety of colors at a great price. These are NOT mill ends or miswound cones.
We are selling the current batch as a special for the month of October in honor of Spinning and Weaving Week. These collections will be on sale the entire month of October, and the sale ends October 31.
