Things are slowly returning as we begin to open. Salty Yarns has now been open full time for a little over a week and it's so wonderful to see our stitchers once again. While mail-order was a blessing for us during the shutdown, we missed seeing you in the store. So we really are so grateful to be open once again, and we want to thank everyone who took the time to order from us...it was a blessing for us and we are so grateful. Thank you so very much. We are still only running the one shift, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. and I'm not sure when that is going to change since many of our employees, both in the shops and the hotel, are still overseas with no word on whether they will be able to come to this country or not this year. Hopefully, this will change as we move from one phase to another in this country, but in the meantime, we're just grateful to be open if even for one shift. The big news right now is the introduction of the long-awaited Coming to America-Women of the Mayflower Sampler from Brenda Gervais. Official registration for this sampler kit begins June 1st and lasts until June 15th. There will be no other signup dates, so mark your calendars now! The sampler will be shipped and launched to start on September 6th and will last until November 9, 2020, for 66 days of stitching, commemorating the 66-day journey of the 18 married women aboard the Mayflower. 2020 is the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower's landing in Cape Cod. The kit includes the following: (1) Chart for the Sampler, stitch count is 125 x 422. (2) Self-adhesive sampler label to sign and date the finished sampler (3) Pilgrim Lady Needle Minder (4) Piece of cotton backing fabric. The fabric is a reproduction of Mayflower passenger, William Bradford's handwritten journal, and was designed specifically for this project (5) Custom printed box to house the items. This also doubles as a project box to keep all the goodies safe & secure while stitching the sampler. (6) Free bonus chart. The cost of this kit is $35.00 however it does not include the linen or the fibers to stitch the design. We have the following options for those:
