Just to remind you, I used Gloss in Kenai and Imagination in Fairy Princess. And, the pattern came from one of our Independent Designers - Camille Chang. Of course, I had to make a couple of individual changes. I used my favorite ribbing, K1b, P1. I prefer my legs to go up to my knees. I used Camille's instructions for only gloss for the ribbing and the toe segment. Also for the heel but I chose to knit the heel holding both the Imagination and Gloss together because I wanted a nice thick heel. The colorwork pattern is absolutely memorizable - is that a word? Well, it made them lovely Take Along projects. They are warm, comforting, thick, lovely, etc. Reminders of why I love wearing hand-knit socks. There is nothing better! A simple indulgence! |

After months of planning, I can't express how excited I am to share our new yarns with you! This was our biggest yarn launch to date. We completely updated the colors offered in our classic lines, like Wool of the Andes. We filled in holes in our Palette collection to get up to 100 colors! And we are now offering an ultra soft and luxurious cashmere and Merino blend called Capra! |

What a great color combo to start the fall with and I’m sure it will be so warm. I can’t wait to order this yarn!

Thanks to everyone for participating – I’m really excited about the Capra launch, especially after hearing all of your color combination suggestions! |

The leaves aren't changing colors yet, but I can share some of the fall yarn colors with you! I'm particularly excited about our fall yarn colors, I got to help pick them at my first color selection meeting! This seems crazy, but it takes a really long time to plan a yarn line. When we pick new colors, we love customer suggestions and feedback, we look at upcoming trends, and we try to round out colors that are missing in yarn lines. The Knit Picks staff loves a really diverse range of colors. When we opened the box, everyone clamored for their favorite colors! |

It's almost time for fall yarn launch! I know, it's July, and it's too hot to think about a winter sweater right now. So I'll start you off with a lighter weight yarn. Stroll! |
