Sponsors

Knit New Haven and Morehouse Farm are the first two official sponsors of the show. Knit New Haven is a lovely yarn shop in New Haven, CT. New Haven is an easy day trip from New York City or Hartford. In normal times, there are several museums and parks to visit, and no trip would be complete without popping in to Knit New Haven to shop their gorgeous selection of yarns, tools, and supplies for spinners. Morehouse Farm raises ultra fine merino fleece and produces 5 different types of yarn in over 100 colors and variegations. They are well known for their critter kits, but also have lots of pattern support in accessories, sweaters, and more. Their Morehouse Merino Flock Group is where they run community knit alongs with support for knitters of all levels.
