Road Trip USA – Our New, Exclusive Yarn Club $50.00

Road Trip USA – Our New, Exclusive Yarn Club

Road Trip USA – Our New, Exclusive Yarn Club

Our Passport to Unwind indie dyer series was so much fun and so popular, we’ve decided to launch a new club.  We are excited to invite you to Unwind’s Road Trip USA, a series of exclusive, in-store events featuring the most coveted, most elusive yarns available today.

Stephanie and her Unwind team of yarn collectors have scoured the Unites States of independent yarn dyers to present you what we consider to be some of the most gorgeous, plush, luxurious, saturated skeins that will thrill, inspire and enchant you.  We’ll travel to all corners of this great country, without leaving Unwind, to bring you yarns from dyers in the Northwest, South, New England and our nation’s capitol.

This carefully curated selection of artisan, hand-dyed yarns are not to be found at any other yarn shop in the area. Some aren’t found anywhere in any yarn shops anywhere. You do not have to travel cross country, attend crowded consumer shows or find yourself at your computer, fighting with others in varied time zones in hopes of winning one coveted skein. No need to suffer the uncertainty of trying to choose colors from a computer screen.

This is an experience you do not want to miss. This is your all-access backstage pass — it’s Road Trip USA.  Your $50 Trip-Tik entitles you to:

  • Four exclusive events, featuring yarns that are not available in local shops; in some cases not available in any brick and mortar shop – only 50 Trip-Tiks will be available
  • Your Trip-Tik invites you to all four events, guaranteeing you the opportunity to purchase skeins from each dyer

Saturday, August 10, 2013, 11: 00 – 1:00 PM:  Teresa Ruch Designs

Saturday, September 14, 2013, 11:00 – 1:00 PM : The Unique Sheep  – and it’s Stephanie’s birthday!

Saturday, October 12, 2013, 11:00 – 1:00 PM: Neighborhood Fiber Co.

Saturday, November 9, 2013, 11:00 – 1:00 PM: Kangaroo Dyer’s collaboration with Classic Elite Yarns

  • A limited number of personal shopper appointments will also be set aside for each event.  If you cannot attend a particular event, Trip-Tik holders may sign up for an appointment (as available) for a chance to selet your skeins.
  • There will be 7-8 yarns available over the four events (1 – 3 types per dyer). Base yarns will not be repeated. Weights from lace through Worsted will be featured to supply you the best yarns for any type of project. All sales final.
  • Seasonally friendly yarns will be featured — from tencel and bamboo to stainless steel, alpaca and good old merino
  • Project ideas, knitted samples and patterns will be available.
  • Special treats and drawings at each event.
  • There may be an opportunity to make special orders from these dyers in addition to purchase at events. Restrictions apply.
  • Only Trip-Tik holders will be admitted to each event.
