Attention sweater and garment knitters - we have some news that you are going to LOVE! We literally searched the world over to bring you these gorgeous custom buttons, hand-dyed to match our Wool of the Andes, Palette, and Swish yarns. Each button is formed from the corozu nut - also known as tagua - a durable, sustainable product that is scratch resistant and has an elegant natural grain. |

We've got a range of simple tools that will keep your knits in tip-top condition, ready to pop on for everything from yard work to snuggling in front of a cozy fire with a good book. |

Something I’m always on the look out for is a great knitting bag – it needs to be big enough to hold my projects, durable and easy to clean when I inevitably spill something on it, and a long handle to sling over my shoulder when on the go. Plus, it goes without saying, it needs to be cute! So I’m so very excited about our newest totebags – check out these beauties! These gorgeous bags tick every one of my requirements! I love the size – they are big enough to hold a large project such as a sweater, plus roomy enough for a book and my purse as well. And check out the lining! |

It's always a great time to dabble in a new craft and this holiday season is no exception! I like to take breaks from knitting or crochet to use different muscles and skills. With this in mind, I've been putting together some kits to help you on your way to your new hobby, starting with the PomPom Perfection Kit (above). |

Whether you have a wee problem with wool moths or you just want your knits to smell like wonderful sun-warmed woods, the Aromatic Cedar Gift Set is all you need to spruce up your woolens. I store my finished sweaters in a cedar chest at home and am instantly transported back to the first day of every winter when my mother would unpack her sweaters from storage and give me a big, scratchy hug that smelled like cedar sachets - so I make sure that all of my sweaters continue that tradition. I'm also in the middle of a long-term war against wool moths and packing my knits away swaddled in cedar helps to protect them against those fluttering sneaks. |
