Blitz Update

Happy July & Happy Summer!
Blitz is off to a blazing start!

We have 33 participants so far. It’s so exciting to have this many people participating! Thank you! The energy at the shop around the project selection has been enthralling. The women that have been selected to commemorate and the rationale for the selections has been exciting to hear about.

Of course, we have to shout out to our early finishers – Robin, Scott (2 projects!!), Joni, Shelby, Merry and Melody. But remember – slow and steady can still win the race!

Heartland Yarn Adventure is back this year!
July 25 thru August 3

This is a fun event across the four states of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Kentucky. There are 48 local yarn shops in the four state area participating.

A passport for the event can be purchased for $5 from Wooly Bully. The passport contains the details of the local yarn shops that are participating, and is the key to prizes! The first 20 passport sales from Wooly Bully come with a special pin for entering.

Most shops have an incentive to visit like: trunk shows, special dyers on hand on certain days, gift with purchase, special HYA discount, etc. You can visit one or more stores and be entered in a drawing to win great prizes! You can watch social media (search/follow "Heartland Yarn Adventure") for the specials and prizes.

Wooly Bully will be giving a gift with purchase if you visit during us the HYA days with a passport. We are stocking up on local yarns (and project bags) for the event: SMW Fiber & Fabric, Solstice Fiber, and McMullin Fiber. As well as stocking up on some other local favorites – Knit & Purr stitch markers, and other brand yarns, books, very cool buttons, and more! And we will be re-stocking our half price room with yarns that are currently in the shop to make room for new things coming in the fall!
