So often we’re asked by knitters if we have a retail brick-and-mortar shop. And despite the fact that that we daydream of this more than we should admit, the short answer is no, we don’t. Instead, we have a slew of amazing retailers across the world, periodic pop up events and we do a couple of select yarn/fiber shows.
We get it, shopping online for yarn just isn’t quiet the same as being able to see it, squish it, match it, pair it, and fall in love with it like you can when you’re in person. Each year for the past five years, on the first weekend in November, we’ve brought our yarns to the Fiber Festival of New England. It’s a great opportunity to see our latest samples, all of our yarn weights and bases, and ton of kits. It’s all happening at booths 503 & 504 THIS weekend Saturday and Sunday November 3 & 4 at the Eastern States Exposition (Big E) Fairgrounds. It’s a gem of a fiber festival. Think Rhinebeck but without the craziness of the crowd, making it easier to browse and of course shop to grab the latest and greatest hand dyed yarns, soaps, hand-woven rugs, roving, bags, accessories and so much more. The variety in vendors, animals, and classes means there’s something for everyone!
Here are some of the specular skeins and kits we’ll be bringing with us. They’re simply irresistible.
And Save The Date! You’ll also see us at Vogue Knitting Live in January 25-27 2019!
Stitch your way through the knitter’s alphabet from A to Z! I had a lot of fun designing and stitching our newest release, The Knitter’s Alphabet.
First, there’s the adorable alpaca and the sweet sheep. Then there’s the Fair Isle vest and the yoke sweater. Plus, there’s yarn and needles…and baskets…and projects bags…and socks!
I admit I also used my favorite colors — the “quiet colors” — as my color palette. Soft grays and blues mixed with creams, beiges and soft browns, plus a little chocolate for oomph.
Then I did a modern, clean and simple finish by wrapping it around a painter’s canvas with a deep edge. All in all, I love it!
I think one of the things I love about samplers like this is how you can change how it feels by changing the colors you use. I’m always excited to see what colors you choose to make it yours.
It’s also great to pull out just one or two of the motifs for something small and quick. I can absolutely see putting those socks or that adorable alpaca on a project bag! Or how about that fair isle vest?
Available as a printed pattern, a PDF or a kit.
It’s been two years since Llamacorns were spotted in the shop. This Wednesday we anticipate their return!
Limited edition matching yarn from Pandia’s Jewels will also be available!
Orders ship out early December — so this is an awesome gift for Christmas!
You knit and/or crochet, and you have style: it is now time to show it to the world with THE ultimate project bag!
Versatile, unique, incredibly light, our project bags are perfect to carry your knitting everywhere!
You can leave them in your purse, hang them on your wrist or on a chair armrest, or simply let them lie on the floor.
Made with sturdy, yet soft, cotton, these project bags are the ultimate temptation to your knitting, carrying up to three skeins of yarn!
100% Cotton
Our project bags are made only with cotton, from thread to fabric. The whole process is handmade in France, and fabrics are carefully chosen from trusted suppliers.
Extra Light
Our project bags weight around 100g, making them the lightest project bags you have ever held in your hands. Fill them with yarn and knitting love!
Washable
Our project bags are completely washable, as there is no interfacing or other materials that could interfere with a water bath. And they are also foldable to snug them in your purse!
