Tuft Soaps and Lotions

Need to wash your woolies? We have the Tuft wool soaps back in the shop! We also have the lanolin-rich hand and body balm in case your skin could use a little love, too.

Schoppel Zauber Perlen


Take a look at this fun Slip Sliden' Cowl designed with the Schoppel Zauber Perlen we have in the shop. The pattern uses up all the yarn in this squishy, textured fabric. The black and white is pretty, but a nice bright one might be just right for our rainy winter.



One Sock Trunk Show

 

Loving these sweet socks from The Fibre Co's One Sock book. We have the trunk show in the shop for you to check out!

Ready Set Raglan

 

I have been coveting this book on the internet since I learned of its existence. Ready Set Raglan provides a blueprint to create your own custom sweater. You can choose necklines, textures, colorblocking, and fancy raglan details. This is such a great book if you want a place to begin designing your own sweaters. Take a look at the Ravelry page for more details on the patterns.

Cute Beanie!

 

 

Need a nice beanie? One skein of our Galler Prime Alpaca is going to get you THREE of these cute hats. THREE!


New Books!

 

These new books have us all inspired and ready to cast on! The new Laine (Rav link), 52 Weeks of Socks (Rav link), and Fair Isle Weekend (Rav link) would be great gifts for a knitter you love. Or for yourself. You deserve it. Especially this year.

Cestari Traditional

 

This is some gorgeous yarn, all made in the USA. The Cestari Traditional is an Aran weight wool from Columbia and Targhee sheep. The colors we get always depend on what the sheep have to offer!
