Summer, summer, summertime
– Fresh Prince c. 1991
Time to sit back and unwind
As we gather up our yarn and needles and head outdoors to enjoy the first signs of summer, we’re reminded how grateful we are for life’s simple pleasures: a frosty glass of iced tea, a cool swathe of shade, and a never-ending queue. While the mercury rises, so do our lofty ambitions to crank out sock yarn shawl after sock yarn shawl, making it a perfect time to release 15 new flavors of delicious Hawthorne yarn. While we’d never dream of playing favorites, we just can’t seem to help ourselves: we wear our Hawthorne heart on our sleeve. Not a sock yarn fan? That’s ok! We have a bevy of new yarns in bulkier weights and more luxurious fibers. The proverbial “something for everyone”. Read on to find the latest & greatest in yarn-related news!
