Closed November 24th

We will be closed for the Thanksgiving holiday, Thursday, November 24th.  We will reopen normal hours Friday, November 25th.

 

Black Saturday Sale

Saturday?  Yes, we decided to have our popular holiday shopping kick-off sale on Saturday rather than Friday so it coincides with the annual event -  Small Business Saturday.

 

The 2nd annual Small Business Saturday® is a day dedicated to supporting small businesses on the busiest shopping weekend of the year ... and GPY is dedicated to offering a great sale to our customers. We have just added lots of yarns to the sale bins including a kettle-dyed cashmere, naturally dyed sock yarn and a few more surprises ... including books for $5 each and patterns for $1 each BEFORE reaching in the sale pot. Selection includes Sublime, Jenny Watson, Louisa Harding and more.

 

We are the local yarn shop that has always let you pick your sale items and you are guaranteed at least 20% off your purchase on Saturday, November 26th. However, all customers will have the opportunity to reach into the GPY Make Your Own Sale Pot after totaling the purchase to increase the discount to 40% or 60%. Help us make room for all of the glorious new yarn that continues to arrive almost daily.

GPY Make Your Own Sale day is a cousin to the GPY Make Your Own Birthday Sale. No club membership or fees, just bring your purchase up to the counter and we'll total your purchase, after which, you will be asked to reach into the GPY Make Your own Sale Pot. Everyone has the same odds and all in-stock items, including our 35% bins -  are included! This Make-Your-Own-Sale event is limited to stock on hand (and as usual, we are bursting at the seams). Classes, workshops, gift cards and special orders are excluded. And, if November is your birthday month, we suggest that you do your birthday sale on a day other than November 26th since your Birthday Sale has extra perks including earning rewards for your birthday purchase and special orders.

 

All Make Your Own sales are final and prior purchases are not eligible for exchange to receive discount. Please note, we will not be able to wind yarn during this event, however if you leave your purchase, we will gladly call you when your yarn has been wound. Additionally, we will not be able to accept any returns or exchanges during this Make-Your-Own Sale event.

We will be open regular hours on November 26th (11:00 am to 5:00 pm). And remember the parking lot directly behind the building is for GPY customers on the weekends. The two one-way bypass streets, Orchard City Drive and Civic Center Drive have parallel parking spots with a 10-hour limit as well as the two parking garages and commuter lot near the light rail tracks.

 

On November 26, pledge to shop small at your favorite local stores and fuel your local economy.

 

Newest Shop Samples at GPY

We have been busy working on more GPY models. The latest ones are contemporary, fun to make and fun to wear.

 

We have the Knit Swirl Coat just like the model on the cover of the new wildly popular book Knit, Swirl. Mountain Colors offers kits in three glorious colorways - the book cover color and our sample is in pinks and purples. The other two choices are Teals & Blues or Warm Autumn shades.

 

We also have just completed the Chickadee sweater from the new book Little Red in the City. Our sample is made with our new superwash DK merino and it is stunning.

 

 

We also recently received the newest Fiber Trends Big Bold Cable Scarf pattern and made models out of all three weights. The DK version is made

using our popular Michigan Wool ; the worsted version is made out of a recycled cashmere/recycled cotton blend; and the bulky version is made out of O-Wool's newest yarn - Balance Bulky.

 

One of our popular shrug patterns is now on display for the petite woman.  The smallest size on the pattern is a 40 but we now have a petite version on display following the pattern, however using smaller yarn and needles - resulting in a shrug for more petite women.  Dale (a size 2/4) is modeling our Cherry Red petite shrug interpretation made out of Blue Sky Techno.
