Well, last week was a sneaky cashmere sale, and I think I’ll continue that this week. Cashmere blends (including Shalimar Breathless and Wonderland Queen of Hearts, among others) will be 15% off all week. But this week’s special is superwash! Ultra Wool, Painted Sky, Ciao (a great new one from Jody Long) and more are …

Yarn of the Week
So back in June I went to Vancouver, BC for the first time. I visited some excellent yarn shops, had a lot of good food, made changes to the website, and most importantly, visited Sweet Georgia in person! I had a lot of fun snuggling the yarns, got to peek into their dye studio, and …

This week’s yarn, Cairns, has a fascinating construction. It’s a knit tube, but it’s also somehow stranded, so that there are stripes running the length of the yarn. On skein makes a lovely bias knit scarf, or you could make a market bag from two skeins! Friday August 2nd – Thursday August 8

Linen Stonewash This is such a cool yarn: I haven’t made a top with it yet, but that’s just because I keep swinging back and forth between sleeveless and cap sleeves. The yarn itself is a knit tape, which of course means the texture of the knitted fabric is different than you’d imagine linen fabric …
Yarn of the Week!
Cumulus and Cumulus Dappled I’ve been in love with this yarn since I first touched it: it is, in fact, as soft as clouds. With 94% cotton and 6% nylon, it’s soft while also being strong enough. I’d been wondering what the perfect project was, and when Jacqueline Cieslak’s patterns Ursa and Ursa Minor came …
