Kits By Mail: Shop Local

New way to support your local LYS and get kits delivered to your doorstep! 

Knitting Fever's Shop Local Program

There's another new way to mainline....um..... I mean obtain kits easily from home. Our vendor, Knitting Fever (think Noro, Juniper Moon, Queensland, Jody Long and countless other lines) created a portal to order up loads of ready-made kits and you choose your favorite shop to get credit. 

We've talked about Berroco's ongoing Drop Ship Kit Program before (here and here). Difference between Berroco and KFI is KFI you order directly from them-we get credit; Berroco directs you to the shop to place an order. Either way works and it is a huge boon for us. Both are massive collaborative retail evolutions and boy are we excited! 

This year KFI launched ready-made kits but alas....as a very small shop with a massive daily to do list....I can't alway pass it along quickly to our customers. One newsletter takes at least 2-4 days to create. Now with this new kit portal....it's easy peasy! Our last Mystery Box used a KFI Noro Kit and it was awesome. Fastest kit we've every pulled together!  Now we have a whole dang website you all can access 24/7

By my count about 38 kits at moment! What's even better: many crochet kits. You can search by yarn line, new to old kits, or use the search icon to type what you're looking for, like "crochet" or "knit". Here's example of two current KFI kits available: Vanessa Scarf (knit) and Hyacinth (crochet)

If this past year+ taught us anything it's you have to be nimble and super careful with the bottom line. As retailers it's so humbling and gratifiying to see our vendors doing the same to support us! Believe me, many other big yarn companies switched up their business models, bypassing their LYS shops, to sell direct to consumers instead. 

Megan and I are ever so grateful for KFI and Berroco, who quickly switched up things in order to support us, their retailer partners instead. Countless other shops are here today (like us) because of such forward thinking, collaborative support. Can't thank the owners, staff and our reps enough.
