It's Fall, y'all!!! Okay, we know summer still has a few weeks to go, but we don't care. We are all in full-on fall knitting mode, gotta get those sweaters and cardigans ready for the cool nights that are quickly approaching. We have a very full class calendar for the coming months, it's a great time to settle in and learn something new, maybe finish that project hiding in the back of your closet. 
 
For those who missed it, Natalie from the Knitty Natty YouTube Channel featured ReBelle as the first of the 50 Yarn Shops in 50 States tour she is doing across the US. Robyn sat down and talked about all things ReBelle. You can watch the feature and interview here- https://youtu.be/ti82tNG5i5U?si=B-CGx9FvA4hf5Ekm
 
ReBelle 17th Anniversary Sale
and New ReBelle Swag
  
It's that time again, time for another anniversary celebration!! Join us Saturday, September 9, we will be doing all the same shenanigans- 10% off your entire purchase for wishing us a happy birthday, a special sale only yarn dyed for you by us, some exclusive, locally-made thematic goodies, and a good dose of general silliness.
 
This year's sale-only yarn is 125g of a fingering weight superwash merino, nylon, and stellina (that's sparkles, y'all!) blend. We will have 80 skeins in tons of colorways all handdyed by us. These skeins will be $15 each and will probably go fast so there is a limit of 1 per crafter (and yes, the discount will apply to these!!)
 
Thank you for 17 incredible years!!
  
As if that wasn't enough, we have a brand new bag design by the lovely folks at Cricket Press!! Bags will be $10 the day of the sale (normally $15) 
 
For those of you who can't make it or who live far away, you can order them on our site Grab yours now!! 
  

In addition to the bags, we will be doing a t-shirt preorder with our new design. T-shirt pre-orders give you the option of 3 styles, 5 colors, and a wide range of sizes (XS-4X.) After the preorder, we will order a limited number of additional shirts in a single color and style to sell in the shop, but when they're gone, they're gone.
 
Short sleeve shirts are $20 and long sleeve shirts are $25. We also have physical color samples in the shop in a variety of sizes if you want to come by and try one on. Place your order now!!
 
ReBelle Events and KALs
 
    
For September's shop KAL, we will be doing another designer focused project this time using the designs of Joji Locatelli. There are tons of designs to choose from including projects from past knit alongs like the Odyssey Shawl and there are tons of new options that we haven't tried. This KAL will be happening at the same time as Joji's Fall KAL so we strongly suggest you jump over to her site and register for that as well. She will be offering prizes, challenges, and additional chatter on a special Ravelry board. You can register for the official KAL here.

If you need help deciding on a pattern, Joji has made it extra simple by providing pattern bundles to help you narrow things down.

All ReBelle knit alongs are free and open to the public. You are welcome to attend as many or as few of the KAL sessions as you like. 

Join us on Zoom every Thursday from 12-2pm

Holt Mitts
 
The Holt Mitts pattern by Susan Moskva is a fantastic project for using up some of your scraps- you only need 15 yards of your accent color.  This slip stitch color pattern is easy to learn and the mitts are such a great accessory to keep or gift.  This is a great first double pointed needle or flexi-flip project.

French Cancan Shawl
 
The French Cancan by Mademoiselle C is an elegant and versatile shawl.  This is a great first cable and/or lace pattern. Pattern is written for dk weight, but can be recreated with any weight yarn, you just need the same yardage for the garter stitch portion that you need for the edging.  Susan will assist you with adapting the pattern to the yarn you select or you can use the Dos Tierras that Susan used for her model.

Antler Hat
 
The Antler Toque by Tin Can Knits was one of the most popular holiday gift knits we saw in the shop last December.
