January’s Newsletter!

Hurray! A Brand New Year!

I’m sure I’m not alone in saying good riddance to 2025… My kid came home for winter break and helped me work on my seemingly endless home renovation (They are the best), and then we celebrated in style by burning a bunch of scraps from our house renovation project in what we affectionately call our “hobo barrel” at midnight. 

I, for one, am feeling really optimistic about 2026, and I hope our new Featured Collection gets you excited about this year too!!! And so we present to you… (drumroll please)...

Deer Mouse

Ask for these colors at your favorite Local Yarn Shop. Orders will be shipping out soon! For a list of our LYS partners, click HERE.

Some of you OG customers may recognize some of these colors, as I’ve designed over 1,000 colorways over the last 10 years we’ve been in business, so we chose our absolute favorites from over the last 10 years to feature in LYS club! These colorways will be LYS Exclusive for 6 months after their release. Then they will return to the Dye to Order listings.

Because I love designing new colorways, I will be doing the occasional popup colorway either as a fundraiser or just because I see something I just HAVE to reproduce in yarn. So stay tuned by subscribing to our newsletter and following our socials @roundmountainfibers (on IG and FB). so you don’t miss out!

As we enter the new year, I’m going to begin looking more earnestly into building more LYS relationships! Do you know of a new LYS in your area? Do you have a favorite LYS that doesn’t carry our yarn? Or perhaps you went on a trip and visited a shop you loved… in any case, Email us at info@roundmountainfibers.com or message us through socials @roundmountainfibers and tell us about the shop! We will reach out to them and if they become one of our shops we’ll send you a skein of FREE “thank you” yarn for helping us connect!

Happy New Year, and may 2026 be filled with hope and love and lots and lots of pretty yarn!

Sincerely,

Monica MacNeille
