Crossings is our newest cable collection, and I really think we had the opportunity to collaborate with some wonderful designers to make some smashing patterns. These cable collections are regularly the most popular books and patterns that we produce, and Crossings is in good company with Celtic Journey, Woodsmoke, and Windward. |

I’ve long been a big fan of Wool of the Andes worsted weight yarn! It’s a fantastic basic wool, and you can now grab a 10-pack for a limited time only, either in one of our curated multi-color choices, or in all the same color, perfect for a sweater!

Like the twisting, braiding, wandering stitches themselves, cable techniques cross generations of knitters, weaving together layers of knitting history into a cozy fabric of fiber tradition.

New year, who dis? Just kidding. We know it’s you, our beloved blog readers! It’s the beginning of a new year, which of course means tending to the often maligned task of committing to a resolution of some sort.

Like a fresh summer breeze, our newest sock lab will take you right back to summer. Inspired by bright ice cream flavors, these two new colors come to you on our supple Stroll yarn. The bright pops of speckles and gorgeous hand-painted hues would look so pretty knit into the Mock Turtle Socks. I can’t wait to knit the Greater Than the Sum Cowl with these new yarns too! The unique slip stitch pattern will highlight the pretty yarn and let the hand-painted section shine. It will ... |
