The *new and improved* Leave No Trace is BACK! πβ¨
For the first time last fall, we completely overhauled our Leave No Trace Collection for Small Business Saturday. Itβs safe to say that yβall LOVED the new version, and weβre delighted to let you know that our β¨newβ¨ Leave No Trace will be offered on a bi-annual basis β in May and in November.Β
Coming this Sunday at 7pm Mountain Time, we will have Leave No Trace (LNT) skeins available at $15 each!!! Every EKF yarn base will have its own listing, and everything will be organized by type of yarn, tonal or variegated, and then color family within each base (reds/pinks, greens, blues, purples, etc.) with a LIST of the possible colorways available for THIS exact update. This is a slight upgrade from last November, where only listed a couple of potential colorways within color families. Now, weβre listing everything weβve got, so you know exactly what type of colorways youβll be receiving for this launch. Our goal with this new format is to take away *most* of the mystery while also letting you shop in a way that feels more tailored to whatever project youβre dreaming up!Β
Now, letβs chat about price again π in the past, LNT skeins ranged from $20-25/skein, but as our quality control checks have increased over the last few years, weβve grown *quite* the collection of βsecondsβ skeins for yβall to peruse π As EKF has grown, weβve worked extremely hard to maintain our high quality standards, and with that, it means more skeins getting aside. These two times a year are, quite honestly, the only time we can ever afford to sell our hand-dyed yarn as this low of a price, and we so, so deeply appreciate your support every time we launch Leave No Trace. The team and I genuinely feel so grateful for your support and that youβve been on this journey with us for as long as you haveβ¦this is our little way of saying thanks β€οΈΒ
The EKF Leave No Trace release is coming this Sunday, May 17th at 7pm MT.Β
