With the recent additions to Knit Picks’ line up of traditional, undyed yarns, Simply Wool and Simply Alpaca, we’ve been thinking a lot about knitting days long past. These quintessential yarns demand classic techniques, so first Hannah and Daniel talk about their experiments with them and share some ideas for how to really make them shine. After that, Stacey and Alexis bridge those yarns of yesteryear with today’s traditions, contemplating knitting superstitions and sharing fiber beliefs old and new.

Enjoy!
