When we first received our shipment of Full Circle, I was in love. I love single ply yarns & this one was even more interesting since it was from recycled wool! I especially loved that it was in 100 gram skeins! So I immediately snapped up a couple of colors...but then I had to decide on what to do. Later that same day, Mara Jessup sent me her newest pattern for IDP - Woof! My decision was made. |

Kelley shares the story of Knit Picks and how the company first began through the evolution of product development from selecting the first yarn lines to developing new needles and tools to enhance your fiber craft. Continuing with the theme of product development, Alison chats with Teri about the newest Knit Picks yarn, Brava! Teri has wool allergies that make it impossible for her to enjoy all of the lovely natural fibers available at Knit Picks, which is exactly why she was so excited throughout the entire development for Brava. And finally, Kelley shares her enthusiasm for the new year along with her plans and goals for getting her work and fiber life organized. 3 easy ways to listen… |

I'll admit, I'm something of a yarn snob. I guess after working with yarn for so long, I've really developed a taste for certain fibers, but I also know that it's important to use the right tool for the job. So, it was a shock even to me how excited I was when we started developing our latest yarn - Brava! Brava is a super-soft premium acrylic yarn that was designed with washability and durability in mind. Four plies give it the right balance for softness and stitch definition, which makes it a great choice for purl-and-plain patterns, cables and even lacy blankets. |

You don't need to be a spinner to love fibers! I'm not a spinner but it doesn't stop me from indulging in an assortment of fiber. That's why I am so excited that Knit Picks is now selling many types of fiber. There's Wool of the Andes roving in Bare and in colors, recycled fibers with Full Circle Roving; there are spinning batts in many colors and now silk hankies! |

Some of you might have noticed a new yarn at Knit Picks today. You can call it happenstance, a coincidence, or simply a happy twist of fate – no matter how you look at it, I think it is a wonderful sign that our newest addition to the special reserve line up, Full Circle, was launched on America Recycles Day! This yummy, single ply yarn is made from a blend of Merino and Highland wool fibers that would have otherwise been discarded. This allows the mill to reduce waste and conserve our valuable resources, while you get to enjoy an amazing blend of fibers that help the Earth! |

I think it's time to admit that summer is actually over. But, while I'll miss the sunshine, I'm nearly giddy over the prospect that sweater weather is coming! For those of you in the northeast and midwest, it seems like it's already time to dust off the gloves and hats. And, perhaps, just the right time to introduce some Uptown Chic into your wardrobe. The six patterns in this new eBook are a fun way to kickstart your fall and winter wardrobe! The Morrison Beret is a slouchy beret reimagined with heavy Aran texture. Worked in Gloss HW, it has the stitch definition to make the cables pop. The Division Street Scarf is big, bold, and will keep you warm in the worst winter weather... |

In June, I asked for your nominations for Felici Favorites, your all time favorite colorways of our Felici self-striping yarn. I was overwhelemed by the number of responses I got!! It took a long time to look through all the comments here and in the KP Lovers Group on Ravelry (Ravelry link), but based on your suggestions and our sales data for Felici, we narrowed it down to 9 colors and placed our order. And now they're here!! Thank you so much for helping us make this tough decision. |
