October is full of exciting news here at Knit Picks HQ. We labored all summer long to bring to you, our favorite fiber fiends, brilliant new waves of Chroma, a new weight of Alpaca Cloud, and both new colors AND weights of Curio. There really is so much good stuff to explore, let’s dive right in! New Chroma Colors We’ve expanded our roster of color-transitioning superwash wool/nylon blend Chroma yarns in both fingering & worsted weights. That’s right! There are now 14 new mirrored gradients of color for you to explore. The only question is, which color will you use to make the Flight of Birds Shawlette? Decisions, decisions. New Yarn: Alpaca Cloud DK |

Even though fall is just around the corner, we’re more than a little excited to debut an abundance of new colors of some of our favorite cotton yarns for all of you cool cotton lovers.

The cozy possibilities are practically endless! Given that the temps are about to start dropping in the Northern Hemisphere, we naturally couldn’t help but to create two new collections that are fit to serve you well throughout the colder months—one a modern take on traditional gansey sweaters and the other a comprehensive pattern collection and reference guide to the intricate art of colorwork knitting. Sound good? Then read on! New Yarn: Fable Fur |

We know this post is called "July News," but it's almost August, which means it's basically September ... and gosh, that means it's pretty much time for the holidays, isn't it?! (So many handcrafted gifts to plan. So. Many. Gifts.) But before we get TOO far ahead of ourselves, let's back it up to the end of July: we have so much great news for you! |

I’m so excited to show you our newest batch of Felici striped colorways! I have a personal reason that I’m especially excited about this release: I designed a bunch of them! I started here as a graphic designer last fall, and since then I’ve gotten the extremely awesome chance to help design yarn colors a few times so far, this batch being one of my first! I didn’t create all of these, but most of the especially colorful ones are by me … I tend to have the color taste of an artistic five year old. So if you happen to love this group of new colors, yay I’m so glad! And ... |

Introducing Snuggle Puff We are so excited to share our latest yarn innovation with you! Snuggle Puff is an amazingly lightweight, huggably soft cotton blend–it really is the perfect yarn for snuggling (hence the name!). It has all that great, next-to-skin softness cotton is known for but without the weight and density of a traditional cotton yarn. It’s a ball of squishy, cuddly goodness, and it comes in ten sweet pastel colors! What makes Snuggle Puff so great is the unique way it’s made. Downy drifts of cotton are blown into nylon mesh, which creates the absolute softest, fluffiest, and lightest-weight cotton available. Seriously. It is ... |
