New kits in our new yarn base- Sierra Sock! It's a high twist sock yarn, still soft, a little extra durable, and has beautiful stitch definition. The high twist helps stitches stick together, making it great for lacework and colorwork.
Sierra Nevada's Red Fox
In honor of the Sierra Nevadas, we're sharing a little about its endangered Red Fox. After nearly 100 years, one of the RAREST animals in North America was spotted back in Yosemite in 2014. That specific population was thought to be extinct. They were also found outside of the park, but by the 1940's all were near extinction since trappers prized them for their fur. Hunting was finally banned in the 1970's, but now their populations struggle for other reasons. Only about 30 now exist in the Sonora Pass, and experts are working hard to help.
These foxes have been very difficult to study, but modern technology is helping massively! The better experts understand them, the better we can help.
This holiday season, we remain very thankful and grateful for countless things. We extend our thanks for not only shopping and supporting Elevate, but for sharing your love of nature and conservation. There are so many out there maintaining trails, supporting research, spreading awareness and starting conversations. Thanks for existing and doing what you do. We are so grateful.
Wishing you a happy holiday weekend!
-Barbara & Brandy
