Plump Pattern Books: Crochet

The new look books for the Mrs. Moon Plump yarns are so cute! We have this yarn in the Plump Superchunky and and lighter weight Plump DK.

First I wanted to show you the designs. These are all available to purchase through Ravelry or through the Mrs. Moon website. Let's look at some of the designs for you crocheters out there first.

 

 And now the knitters!

See something here you like? Stop in and take a look at the pretty yarn and get started on a colorful and squishy soft project!

Plump DK

We have a sweet fresh batch of Plump DK from Mrs. Moon on the shelves. The colors are so calm and soothing, and the single-ply texture is soft as can be. This pretty yarn is 20% baby alpaca and 80% superfine sustainable merino wool.

Look at the plumpness of that deep purpley-red.

We are using this lovely yarn for some of our crochet class samples, including this perfect Granny Shawl.

If this looks like your jam, stay tuned for the new crochet class schedule and sign up for class. I'll let you know when the next round is open. You too could be enjoying a Plump Granny Shawl in no time!

Plump! And Some Great Free Patterns

Plump has been in the shop for a while, but I don't think we've ever talked about it. I recently stumbled upon a set of free patterns from Churchmouse that use Plump Superchunky and Plump DK, so it seems like the right time! Even if it is August.

We have some pretty shades of the big stuff left in the shop (mixed in here with some Big Rad Bulky), and a nice full range of the DK.

These patterns from Churchmouse Yarn and Teas are free and available on their site. The have a great Fisherman's Rib Beanie, a Fisherman's Rib Cowl, and a Fisherman's Rib Muffler.

The great thing about these patterns, aside from being super simple and classic designs, is that they are all written for four gauges! You can knit the beanie if the DK and a big ol' scarf in the superchunky, and they will be matchy, if that's your thing.

If you've never tried fisherman's rib, I promise that it's fun and easy. The resulting fabric is extra squishy and thick, making it the perfect thing for the cold weather that will eventually return to Portland.

Churchmouse also offers this sweet Garter Stripe Scarf, and Mrs. Moon, the manufacturers of Plump, offer several patterns for sale using their yarns.
