May 25, 2018
We're excited to welcome Six and Seven Fiber. Rachel is the artistic talent behind the colorways. Her passion is to create colorways, plan new projects and knit, and dyeing yarn has given her an outlet for all that. Rachel has developed a beautiful palette like nothing we've seen before!
We brought in the Clover base which is a blend of Corriedale and Nylon, making it ideal for accessories of all kinds and socks. These gorgeous colors are selling quickly so don't wait to come and get yours!
sweetgeorgia Party of Five
May 11, 2018
Gradient and color sets are becoming ever more popular as designers are creating patterns specifically for them. SweetGeorgia has created Party of Five which are color coordinated gradient sets. We brought them in on the Tough Love Sock, which is a blend of Superwash Merino and Nylon, and each set contains 5 skeins of 105 yards. They would knit up beautifully into Polygrade, which we have a class scheduled on 6/15, and Striped Cowl. The possibilities really are endless as to what these color sets can be used for!

Irish Shawl by local designer Kay Hopkins was inspired by a visit to Ireland: the stitches are reminiscent of the rugged and rocky moors criss-crossed with rock walls, the Cliffs of Moher (aka the “Cliffs of Insanity” from the movie Princess Bride) with its fortress castle at the very top, and the most incredible Tree of Life jewelry designs at an outdoor market in Howth.
This shawl is knit end-to-end in a completely seamless manner and will look great in fingering weights from local dyers Bumblebirch and Canon Hand Dyes. The pattern is easily adjusted to any size by simply adding or reducing repeat sections. The diagonal bias of the main shawl body really shows off hand-dyed yarns but is equally stunning in a solid color.
She even wrote a travel blog about it on Ravelry.
Join us on Fridays from 4-6pm or Sundays 3-5pm and choose any of the three designs from the Celtic Shawl Collection.
