New for Spring: Renew Collection

“If you wear things you adore, you just look better” – Margherita Missoni
Knit Picks exclusive: Renew Collection

“Spring is nature’s way of saying, ‘Let’s party!’ “

Robin Williams

Knit Picks Jumbo Momo Merino Yarn
Yesterday was the first official day of spring (cue the reverie) and we are SO ready for all the April showers, May flowers, and spring knits to come! With the weight of winter behind us, we’re taking a cue from Mother Nature and shedding our figurative (and literal)  layers and shifting towards brighter color palettes,  lightweight tops, and comforting wear-anywhere wraps.
