Limited Edition: Jacmel

Dreamy in Jacmel

Jacmel was inspired by the port city of Jacmel in Haiti. It was one of the cities ravaged by the Haitian earthquake of 2010. The beautiful beaches, lush greenery, and adobe-tiled roofs are reflected in our newest colorway.

We will be donating 10% of wholesale and 25% of retail pre-orders to Haiti-Now. Haiti-Now is a charitable organization that has worked to improve the lives of seven-hundred impoverished children in Haiti since 2010. Their goal is to empower former Restavek girls to achieve a lifetime of emotional and economic self-reliance. "Restavek" is a derogatory Haitian term used to describe the impoverished children who suffer from abuse while working as unpaid domestic servants.

Pre-orders are open through July 8, 2020 here.

If you'd like to learn more or make a donation directly to Haiti-Now you can do so here.

Remember, we love Local Yarn Shop! Put the name, city, and state of your local Anzula yarn shop and we will send 25% of your purchase from our online store to that shop.

Becca is crocheting Drive in Movie by Noriko Ho using Jacmel and Floradora in Dreamy! Drive in Movie uses one skein each of two colors of fingering weight yarn. You can find the pattern on Ravelry here. If you need help getting the pattern, please let us know.

Happy Stitching, Friends!

Limited Edition: Blue Lagoon

Dreamy in Blue Lagoon

This week's limited edition colorway is Blue Lagoon! This colorway was inspired by indigo and tie-dying - and of course our yearning for fresh-water lagoons! 

We strongly believe in supporting women in entrepreneurship. Anzula is here because other women believed in us and have supported us in a multitude of ways. In that spirit, we are donating 10% of wholesale and 25% of retail pre-orders for this colorway to Amber Tamm Canty’s Future Farm Fund.

You can learn more about Amber, Furture Farm Fund, and donate directly here.

Bikini Bodies at Salty Beaches (new limited edition colorways)!

We have wanted to do something with our creativity to both make something beautiful and to financially support organizations we love. So we created two new limited edition colorways, Salty Beach and Bikini Body!

Salty Beach

For Salty Beach we chose soothing colors and a snarky name, because we all need a little bit of both. As individuals, many of us are pouring so much of ourselves into making the world a better place. We know that Black people have been doing this work for their whole lives and want to do what we can to support their efforts. When you pre-order this limited edition colorway we will donate 25% of retail orders and 10% of wholesale orders to Black Lives Matter.

You can learn more about the work BLM does and make a direct donation here and you can pre-order Salty Beach through June 17, 2020 here.

Charlie is knitting Kira Cove by Tamy Gore using 1 skein of Salty Beach and 1 skein of Black in Dreamy, (photos coming soon)! You can see photos of Tamy’s design and find the pattern on Ravelry here.

Bikini Body

Bikini Body was created with the idea that, as we come up on the warm summer months, no one should be allowed to police your body, judge what you wear, or make you feel badly about the way you look or what you wear. We have a saying in our household, “We don't comment on other people's bodies.” Your body is your business, whether you flaunt it or not!

At Anzula we admire and honor all bodies. Bodies of every race, age, ability, and gender expression are beautiful. This week we chose BEAM to receive donations for our limited edition colorway, 10% of wholesale pre-orders will be donated to BEAM to aid them in furthering their mission "to remove the barriers that Black people experience getting access to or staying connected with emotional health care and healing."

If you'd like to learn more or make a donation directly to BEAM you can do so here and you can pre-order Bikini Body through June 24, 2020 here.

Becca is knitting Charlize by Vanessa Smith using Bikini Body in Dreamy and it’s seriously a knock out! You can get get the pattern on Ravelry here.

Which is your favorite? What will you make with your limited edition skeins? Tell me all about it in the comments!
