New Line Launch Team spots are OPEN!

Sign ups for the team have been extended to Midnight Pacific Time JUNE 8th 2014.   This is the last chance to purchase 2 new yarn/fiber lines at wholesale prices!!!!!

You may be asking yourself what is a New Line Launch Team.  Short answer is that it is a way for Knitters, Spinners and Lovers of Hand Knits, to help me get a new handspun yarn and fiber line into my shop.  What do the Team Members  get out of it?  Wholesale prices!

Starting a new handspun yarn and fiber line takes lots of work and money.  Hard work isn’t an issue, I’m used to hard work and love long hours of spinning.  It is  money that I need to invest into a large fiber purchase.  What the team members do for me is prepay for  fiber and yarn which gives me the cold hard cash to make a large fiber buy.  I will be selling a limited number of spots on the team for knitters, spinners, and lovers of Hand Knits.  All kits will  be sold at Wholesale prices!  This is the first time I have offered handspun yarn, fiber and Hand Knits at wholesale prices to the public.  This special pricing will only happen during the launch of a new yarn/fiber  line, so grab it while you can because you will not see it for this price again!

How do you become a New Line Launch Team Member?  Simple, purchase any kit! Spots on the team will be open from May 10, 2014  Through May 30, 2014. Warning, spots are limited and may sell out prior to the cut off date. Kits can be purchased here here at New Hue Handspuns.

I will  be hosting a Knit and Spin Along at my Ravelry Group New Hue Handspuns Creations.   Check out the group to see how  New Line Launch Team members can receive discount coupons for New Hue Handspuns.com.  There will  be  prizes awarded for team members, the more that participate, the more prizes.

Let’s get on to introducing the yarn!!  Here it is at last, the Cam Huey  and 1234 Huey handspun yarns and spinning fiber.

The Cam Huey handspun yarn is DK weight 2 ply yarn. The white, thicker rustic ply is 100 % Merino wool. The thin brown ply is Baby Camel Down.  Talk about soft and strong!  The lofty Merino  gives strength and  a big squooosh factor to the yarn, and the oh so soft Baby Camel Down just begs to be snuggled.  I made an ear warmer/head band out of this yarn last  Winter.  It was so comfortable and warm, I only took it off to wash it once in a while.  I was quite please on how durable the yarn was. The Cam Huey comes in a 200 yard skein.

The 1234 Huey handspun yarn is also a DK weight 2 ply yarn.  Both plies  are 100% Merino wool.  I hand paint the fiber with 3 colors in a gradient style. I then spin the fiber in the color pattern of 1-2-3-3-2-1.  This way you can create a scarf/project with matching ends. The skein for the scarf knit kit is 100 yards.  The skein for the shawl size kit is 300 yards.  There are 10 colorways for you to choose from.

Three of the colorways are pictured here,  Beach, Mountain, and Forest. The remaining 7 colorways  will be for those who want a bit of surprise to their package.  I will only describe the colors, no pictures

1. Beach – Cream, Pale Green, Pale Blue.

2. Mountain – Purple, Bluish Purple, Blue.

3. Forest – Light Green, Dark Green, Brown.

4. Ocean –  Light Purplish Blue, Medium Blue, Dark Blue.

5. Meadow – Spring green, Medium Green, Dark Green.

6. Rose Garden – Bright Pink, Reddish Pink, Deep Dark Pink.

8. Tropic – Bright Teal Blue, Bright Teal Green, Very Bright Teal Blue/Green.

9. Desert – Pale Yellow, Sandy Brown, Reddish Brown.

10. Canyon – Rusty Brown, Rusty Orange, Rusty Red.

SCARF KNIT KITS

The Scarf Knit Kit has 500 yards of DK weight handspun yarn.  Included in the kit are two 200 yard skeins of Cam Huey Handspun yarn and one  100 yard skein of 1234 Huey Handspun yarn, your choice from 10 colorways.  Along with the yarn you will receive my new scarf/shawl pattern, created specifically for this yarn combination.  The pattern will be available on Ravelry,  or I can email a PDF  copy to you, or a hard copy can be included with the yarn shipment if you prefer. There will be only 50 of these kits offered at the wholesale price.

THE SHAWL SIZE KNIT KIT

The Shawl size kit is 3 times the size of the scarf kit.  This kit includes Six 200 yard skeins of the Cam Huey Handspun, and one 300 yard skein of 1234 Huey Handspun.  Along with the yarn you will receive my new scarf/shawl pattern, created specifically for this yarn combination. The pattern will be available on Ravelry, or I can email a PDF copy to you, or a hard copy can be included with the yarn shipment if you prefer. There will be only  five of these kits offered at the wholesale price.

THE SPIN KIT

The Spin Kit will include all the fiber needed to make the 3 skeins of yarn in the Scarf size knit kit.  Six ounces of Merino wool, two ounces of Baby Camel Down and two ounces of hand painted Merino wool. Be sure to join in the Spin along on Ravelry  if you would like coaching on how to spin it up like Cam Huey and 1234 Huey.  There will be only 50 of these kits offered at the wholesale price.

LOVERS OF HAND KNITS

Do you love handspun hand knits, but you just don’t have the time or energy to spin and knit for yourself? Want to give someone a very special birthday or holiday gift?  This is your chance to join the team and help support the New Line Launch!  I will be offering VERY limited spots for Lovers of Hand Knits.  There will be two finished Scarves offered and one  finished Shawl.  All hand knits will be dyed, spun and knit to order with your choice from 10 colorways.  Expect 1-3 months for delivery.  Your delivery date will be set when order is placed.

 

Launch Teams memberships will be available from May 10 – June 8th.  No limit on how many of the kits you can purchase, but the total number of kits is limited to 50 Scarf Knit Kits, 5, Shawl Knit Kits, 50 Spin kits, and 3 Lovers of Hand Knits.  USA shipping will be a $6 flat rate.  I will ship international, but I am sorry to say that this time around I will have to charge actual shipping costs. I’ve always kept   international shipping at a flat rate of $6, but I can’t afford to pay the additional shipping cost on wholesale purchases. International purchases will receive a paypal invoice for the actual additional shipping costs over $6 after purchase is made.

International orders will ship on Monday July 14, 2014.  USA orders will ship on Monday July 21, 2014.   If all orders are completed ahead of schedule I will ship earlier!
