Long before Saratoga Springs became famous for its rich history of horse racing, it was known as one of the premier resort destinations in the country. People traveled to Saratoga Springs to take “the cure” by indulging in mineral baths and drinking from the various springs around town. Saratoga Springs became known as the “Queen of Spas”.

To celebrate the City’s mineral springs and their importance to the City, Terri Bartosik of Whole Knit n’Caboodle and Jill Ramos of Jill Ramos Designs have collaborated on the “Saratoga Springs Collection”. Taking inspiration from the naturally occurring colors created by the minerals in the springs, Terri has waved her yarn dying magic wand to create shades to reflect the beauty of four of the City’s springs - Columbian, Deer Spring Park, Hathorn and Peerless. To showcase these gorgeous yarns Terri has designed a sweet sock knit in her sock weight yarn and her husband Jim has designed a fun sampler cowl knit in her DK weight yarn. Jill designed a lovely lace shawl that mimics the springs’ flow and is knit in Terri’s sport weight.

Look for this collaboration to debut on Local Yarn Store Day, April 27th.
