Mid-Hudson Libraries CROCHET Tempestry Collection Kits

***If you are an MHLS library wanting to order a Tempestry kit for your library to keep (rather than be part of the traveling collection), please choose “For Library” from the “Choose An Option” list, and then be sure to indicate what year you would like.***

Thank you for participating in the Mid-Hudson Libraries Tempestry Collection! This collection is being developed in partnership with the Mid-Hudson Library System, and Tempestries may remain with the collection for display throughout the Hudson Valley region.

For any questions, please read through the Mid-Hudson Libraries Tempestry Collection FAQ (and if you still have questions, shoot us an email at TempestryProject@gmail.com). Please note, the FAQ discusses some knit-specific  questions, but does include universal information as well!

Please choose the year you would like to knit from the ‘Choose An Option’ menu below. We are starting with every 10 years to ensure we cover a wide range of years. If you are sponsoring a kit for another crocheter but don’t have a particular year you’d like to choose, please choose “sponsored kit.”

ALL MID-HUDSON TEMPESTRY KITS INCLUDE:

—One organza gift bag, 12”x14”
—Individually-wound bobbins of Tempestry wool yarn calculated to match the number of days in each temperature range for your selected year
—One Original Tempestry color card
—One project label
—One Original Tempestry project pattern/guidelines
—One Original Tempestry worksheet (this includes the daily high temperature data for the year, the corresponding color for each day’s temperature, a progress column) using data from Mohonk Preserve

All our work is done in a smoke-free but cat-friendly home. While this particular cat is not prone to playing with yarn and is banned from the yarn workshop, her hair (as any pet owner knows) does occasionally stray.
