Season 2.0 / Spring 2018
2018 marks the ten year anniversary of Kelbourne Woolens and we are celebrating this milestone with a variety of exciting new products for you! We are delighted to introduce our second Kelbourne Woolens yarn, Scout, to the market. Our years of crafting, working in yarn shops, speaking with our wholesale customers, and meeting thousands of knitters and crocheters at workshops, events, and book signings has inspired us to create a line of yarns with one idea in mind:
Kelbourne Woolens yarns are for those who love the craft as much as we do. Throughout the next year, expect to see Kelbourne Woolens present more yarns in classic colors made from natural fibers with affordability, longevity, and quality in mind. Thank you so much to all of our supporters over the last ten years. Here’s to many, many more!

Sample Reimbursement Samples sell yarn! But working up a sample is time consuming and sometimes expensive. With this in mind, we put together a program that rewards you for making samples for your shop - not only in yarn sales, but in a credit that can be applied to your next order.
How it Works
1 / Choose a yarn and pattern. 2 / Knit or crochet a sample. 3 / Take a photo of the sample displayed in your shop. 4 / Email us a picture of the photo AND, if applicable, tag us on Instagram, Facebook, or Ravelry. Be sure to include the yarn, color, and number of skeins used in the text of your email. 5 / We’ll credit your account for the cost of the yarn.
THE FINE PRINT: Samples MUST be 10 skeins or less and used in the shop for display: No personal projects please! Credit is for the wholesale cost of the yarn. Limit $300 in credit per year per shop.
Three Useful Tips 1 / Knit or crochet a sample
Samples are incredible tools for selling yarn - they give your customers project ideas, give you or your employees experience working with the yarn, and fill your shop with beautiful items.
2 / Host a yarn tasting
Are you convinced the yarns are amazing to knit and wear, but want to give your customers that final push? Why not host a yarn tasting? Giving your customers the opportunity to try out each yarn in a “test-run� will give them the confidence they need to dive head-first into a project.
3 / Organize a knit along
Although knitting can be a solitary activity, knitters are social people - as evidenced by the overwhelming popularity of Ravelry and the proliferation of knitters on social media sites such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest. By organizing and hosting a knit-a-long at your shop, you’re encouraging customers to repeatedly come into your shop. Your expertise will guide them in their knitting, ensuring a successful finished project and guarantee they come back for more!
