Copy of Wholesale Year-Long Make-A-Long- INcase Cyndal breaks the other one
Our focus for 2024 is community and connection. It has always been a goal of Queen City Yarn to foster a collaboration of meaningful, fun and socially conscious makers. We’ve been dreaming of what it could look like and we’re excited to launch a year-long make-a-long for the new year. WHAT WILL THIS LOOK LIKE:
1. Monthly cast-on parties
2. Monthly project prompts
3. Fun surprises and giveaways
We can't wait to make with you and your customers all year!
Let's dive in!
MARCH
March and April are about Summer Garments! Coleman, our DK weight 65% Silk 35% Linen base has been a huge hit with our wholesalers and our customers. This summer we are adding a fingering weight version of Coleman; Coleman Lite to our lineup. JUST FOR THE SUMMER!
CAST-ON PARTY!
We'll start the month with a cast-on party on March 19 at 7PM ET. Pour your favorite beverage, grab your yarn and join us for a fun evening with a fun group of like-minded makers.
PATTERN IDEAS
We want customers to choose a pattern they're excited about casting on. Rather than having a set design for this make-a-long we're giving project prompts and an abundance of project ideas to get started. Check below for some of our current favorite summer garment patterns along with color suggestions to get started.
PATTERN: Salty Air Tee
PATTERN: Flip Side Tee
PATTERN: Cumulus Tee
PATTERN: Hikari
PATTERN: Vibes Tee
IN STORE SUGGESTION
You could host your own in store cast on party and Make-a-long. You could also do a multi part class to learn to knit a sweater, or adjusting sweater patterns to fit your body type. Remember beach cover ups and items that don't "need to fit" can also be summer garments
PLACE YOUR COLEMAN LITE ORDER!
We want to make sure you have your Coleman Lite stocked in time for release day.
APRIL
We are continuing our summer garments and promoting our beloved Coleman. In case you missed it, Joji Locatelli* designed the Adriata Top using Coleman!
The Adriata Top will be released March 25!
WIP PARTY!
Our virtual party for April will be WIP showcase, so grab all of your March and April WIP’s and show us what you’re working on! We will meet up April 10 at 7PM ET. Pour your favorite beverage, grab your yarn and join us for a fun evening with a fun group of like-minded makers.
