I am so excited for our fall line-up of yarns this year. Many of you have seen them already and were kind enough to share some of your pictures and projects with us. When we introduce a new line, I normally pick a favorite and go with it. That is impossible this time around ! There are so many beautiful fibers and colors. It’s going to be a busy knitting season for sure! I figured I would share them all with you, in one shot. I will do my best to give the important information you need, even when I really just want to say “It’s just so pretty, I must have it.”
We have a fantastic crew who gets to pick these fabulous yarns. It takes a village you know. They travel to Italy, Turkey, and Peru, just to name a few, to find the highest quality fibers so Plymouth Yarn can offer these to your favorite yarn shops. We have a team of designers who get to play, I mean work, with all of the contenders. They are always hard at work visiting trade and fashion shows to see the latest styles. I consider myself a pretty good knitter but they never cease to amaze me when they demonstrate to us just what these yarns are capable of.
Without further ado…..fall yarns!

We love to see and hear about your projects! We received an email from a charity knitter in Delaware named Julie. She is currently knitting preemie hats with Encore Worsted. Julie knits the hats for the babies in the NICU at Christiana Care Health System and Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Delaware.
What a wonderful reason to knit! Julie shared some pictures of the hats she creates, check them out below.




If you are a charity knitter, send us an email and tell us your story. You can share your pictures with us on facebook and twitter too! You can also find us on Pinterest.

Many of you know our Betty. Plymouth Yarn’s “original” employee! Betty has been with us since about 1966 and today she celebrated her 88th birthday!
If you have gotten a color card or mailing from us ever, most likely Betty has had some part in creating it.
We celebrated her day with homemade chocolate cupcakes(a Plymouth Yarn Co. favorite), flowers, balloons, decorations, and a few gifts. The boss might even let her knock off a few minutes early!
Thank you to Betty for all of her years of dedication and we hope you have a wonderful birthday!

Happy Birthday Betty!
