May News from Knit & Spin

May always feels like the season of beginnings.


The windows are open, the gardens are waking up, and suddenly every skein feels like it belongs in a linen tote bag headed somewhere beautiful.


This month brings Mother’s Day, spring festivals, baby showers, road trip knitting, summer project planning, and—if we’re being honest—the annual confrontation with That One Basket of unfinished projects.


We see you. We are you.


At Knit & Spin, May is about handmade gifts, fresh inspiration, and giving ourselves permission to cast on something new … even if we absolutely should finish something old first.


As always, we’re here to enable both choices equally.


*Sincerely, Your Yarn Enablers at Knit & Spin


We celebrated our "grand-er” re-opening this past week and wanted to say a big 'thank you" to all who showed up in support as well as to those who made the move possible!

The design of the new space was a huge collaboration with local interior designer, Lisa Wall. If you need help or inspiration with your own commercial or residential spaces, we highly recommend her!

Spring is here, what’s Blooming in the Shop?


We have a beautiful selection of bright spring colors in Mode cotton DK perfect for that lightweight shawl. Berroco Bozzolo is a lovely worsted weight cotton that comes in a lot of colors as well. 


Mother’s Day Gifts That Don’t Wilt


Flowers are lovely. But handmade lasts. Get mom her favorite yarn!

This month we’re celebrating meaningful gifts made with your own two hands—shawls, wraps, heirloom baby pieces, soft scarves, beautiful market bags, and quick-knit treasures that say more than anything bought off a shelf ever could.


 Fast Gift Ideas:


* One-skein shawls

* Luxury washcloth sets

* Market bags

* Lightweight wraps

* Handmade gift bundles

* Gift cards for the yarn lover who chooses their own adventure


Because sometimes the best Mother’s Day gift… is permission to buy the good yarn.


UFO (un-finished objects) Amnesty Month


No judgment.

Only progress.


This is your official invitation to bring your unfinished objects out of hiding.


That cardigan missing one sleeve?

That sock waiting for its soulmate?

That blanket quietly aging in a project bag since 2022?


We’re not asking questions.


We’re just offering support.


We challenge you! 


* Finish one forgotten project this month

* Share your progress in-store

* Celebrate every completed row like the victory it is


Shame has no place here.

Only yarn does.


It's festival season!


The Knit and Spin has passports for sale for the West Michigan Yarn Quest 

Image description

Passports are only $5, and even if you're not planning on driving the circuit and visiting every shop, the 10-15% discount on regularly priced yarn at each shop more than justifies the cost of the passport. 


If you do visit every shop, however, grand prizes and numerous secondary prizes could be in your future if you turn in the completed passport at the last shop that you visit!

Image description

This year, each shop has a portion of the pattern used to make the yarn quest garment. This is an exclusive pattern that you can only make if you have all of the pieces of the puzzle. How fun, right? Summer Projects Preview. Memorial Day flips the switch.


Suddenly we’re dreaming of:


* tanks

* tees

* market bags

* cotton cardigans

* lake-house knitting

* vacation projects that fit in the passenger seat


We’re ready. Are you?


Perfect Travel Projects:


* Socks

* Small shawls

* Summer tops

* Portable crochet projects

* Vacation knitting kits


Shameless Plug Corner:


Need yarn at midnight while wearing pajamas and making questionable project decisions?


We support that.

Or better yet—come see us in person and let us help you justify buying sweater quantities.


We’re very good at it. ;) 


Stay cozy, stay creative, and always buy the extra skein (avoid playing Yarn Chicken)!
