Whirlwind Weekend

The Blue Sky Alpacas and Spud & Chloë booth at TNNA

Your local yarn shops, your favorite designers, the knitting and crocheting books you are eagerly anticipating, the fibery publications you are subscribed to, and the behind-the-scenes editors and sample makers… all gathered in one place! It’s a little overwhelming, a lot of fun, and offers TONS of inspiration.

This side of the booth was dedicated to all things Blue Sky Alpacas, including what’s new this season.

Six members of the team arrived in Columbus, Ohio on Friday and together we set up our booth for TNNA. One side of the booth is dedicated to Blue Sky Alpacas, the other to Spud & Chloë. (If you would like to read the Spud & Chloë TNNA recap, be sure to click here.) The robin’s egg blue of the booth was a pop of color and a real hit with all of our visitors. As were…

Full o’ Fluff!

… our GIANT wool towers! In a convention center packed with people that love all things fiber, these three towers were irresistible! People came to touch, snap photos, and even host an impromptu photoshoot (more on that soon…)!

Peek around the Wool Towers…

Here is the lovely booth, the quiet before the storm. It’s so gratifying to be able to share all the things we’ve been working on with our Stockists. Their energy and enthusiasm is a big part of what keeps us developing colors, creating new patterns, and planning other Blue Sky Alpacas innovations. The other big part? Well, you, of course–the knitters and crocheters, stitching away!

StevenBe and Stephen West, whom we lovingly refer to as the Stev(ph)ens ^_^, hanging out in the booth.

We had four tables in our booth to connect with LYS and catch up with owners and employees that are now old friends, and make new friends, too! We were delightfully busy! You can see Sue (on the left) working with StevenBe and his team to place orders for both Yarn Garage and StevenBe’s! And Karen (on the right) is sharing our new collection with Uniquities Yarn Shop.

Busy! Busy!

TNNA was, as always, a very exciting weekend for all of us. As the new patterns, colors, and collections start arriving in your LYS, you’ll be able to see what all the hubbub was about!
