Even with over 1,000 yarn colors still on sale as part of our Summer Yarn Sale, any savvy shopper knows that the juiciest deals are always the closeouts. Many of those colors will never be available again, and you never know when the project your stash saves will be your own, so let’s explore some of the best deals and final chances still available right now!

Summer starts next week, but things are already heating up around the Knit Picks office. We’re SO excited to show off our 2 new Lace collections, as well as 12 brand spankin’ new Bare Yarns! Did we mention that we’re also kicking off our biggest summer yarn sale ever, too? It’s almost too much awesomeness for one post. Almost.
This month you can get our gorgeous Gloss yarn at 20% off! This yarn (available in DK, Fingering, and Lace weights) combines the dreaminess of 70% Merino wool with the sleekness of 30% Silk into one very plush fiber blend. This gives Gloss an ideal gentleness for your projects made to be worn next-to-skin.
Are we talking colors? This yarn is vibrant! Gloss really takes in the dye, which allows for a rich and robust palette; bringing a vivid flare of color to your colorwork projects!
Fitted pullovers, elegant cardigans, and remarkable wraps are all made a dazzling reality …

It seems a little trite to “celebrate” Earth one day out of the year. While I’d like to think of it more as an everyday conscientious kinda thing, we might as well join in the festivities, albeit a day late, and take a little time to shed light on ways you can make your fiber related pursuits as earth-friendly as possible.
One of the hardest things about working on our exclusive collections is keeping them a secret for so long. I’ve been so excited about our new Everyday Wraps collection for months and now it’s finally available for everyone!
This gorgeous collection of 14 shawl patterns features yarn I have an abundance of – sock yarn! While I do love knitting socks, sometimes I want a project to show off the colors in a larger piece (and not one hidden by my shoes!). With swaths of garter stitch with small doses of texture and simple lace patterns, this collection is a dream come true for me – and I think you will love it as well!

Yesterday was the first official day of spring (cue the reverie) and we are SO ready for all the April showers, May flowers, and spring knits to come! With the weight of winter behind us, we’re taking a cue from Mother Nature and shedding our figurative (and literal) layers and shifting towards brighter color palettes, lightweight tops, and comforting wear-anywhere wraps.
