One of the reasons I love knitting over crochet is the amazing texture that knit stitches have. When using a super chunky yarn, the texture is amplified! That is why I love our Super Tuff Puff yarn. At an astonishing one and a half stitches per inch, project knit up in no time at all. The 100% wool in a ... |

Once again it’s time for our monthly yarn sale, and this month it’s CotLin! The blend of 70% Tangius Cotton and 30% Linen gives this yarn a wonderful lushness that endures even through the demands of daily use. Each wash makes these fibers softer, which makes CotLin an excellent yarn for a wide range of finished ... |

While all of us here mainly do yarny crafts (how could we not, while being surrounded by all this gorgeous yarn?), we thought it would be fun to give a peak at other crafts we play with during our off hours! For instance, Hannah sews up a storm - every week she comes in with a new project. This dress is one of her favorites: |

Wondering how the Knit Picks staff is faring with their New Year's Resolutions now that a quarter of the year has passed? I was too, since, statistically speaking those with remaining New Years Resolutions, like myself, have less than a 50% percent chance of completing them. ACK!

If you know me, you know I love big yarn! That's why I was so excited when we decided to take our already sizeable super bulky yarn, Tuff Puff, and make it EVEN BIGGER! The result is Super Tuff Puff, a gigundo (a technical term) yarn that gets an astonishing 1.5 stitches to the inch, and it's perfect for projects with strong visual punch. Simple stitch patterns really stand out in it, and it knits up so fast it's a bit dizzying. |
