Debut Pattern Release Promo
Updated: Jan 17, 2021
Because Covid 19 was not kind to a lot of people and businesses, I decided to help out Unwound Artisan Yarn Shop from La Crosse, WI and other Participating Local Yarn Shops (LYS). I decided to give your 2021 a fun jump start in 3 awesome ways!
Closing LYS Sales Boost
We are giving away either one of these stitch markers from Fiber Union or an Unwound Mug to the first 15 people who purchase $60+ worth of yarn from Unwound Artisan Yarn Shop either in person or through their online ecommerce site from January 15, 2021(12:00am Central Standard Time)- March 31, 2021 (11:59pm Pacific Standard Time). If you are one of the 15 people who received the freebie, please take a photo of you using the freebie or receiving the freebie and #saveyourlocalyarnshop #unwoundyarnshop #himaymaycreations. We want to send them off with a bang so positive comments and encouraging comments are super accepted!
Pattern Description
This pattern is a cowl that is designed for 2 sizes (thinner fingering/sock weight or thicker DK weight). It is a cowl made with brioche and double knitting techniques, so it's a yarn stash eater. Two colors: light and dark, which may both be solid or a combination of solid and variegated. My Pattern is only available here at this time (www.himaymaycreations.com).
Pattern Discount Rules
You must purchase at least 1 skein Malabrigo Sock/Arroyo or 1 skein of a similar yardage, weight, and fiber material (superwash or non superwash merino wool/nylon combo, merino wool, or if you are allergic to wool- 2 skeins of acrylic yarn of similar yardage and weight) at Participating LYS (from January 15, 2021-February 28, 2021) to receive a 25% pattern discount code after purchase.
