The limited edition Subscriber Inspiration colorways have just been added to the Spirit Trail Fiberworks shop!
This month’s limited edition colors are inspired by a photo sent to me by Amy (who also happens to be the podcaster behind Hudson Valley Knits). She sent me a photo of bits of colored glass she’s found on her walks along the Hudson River.
There are three colors inspired by this month’s photo: River Walk, a subtle speckle of the glass colors on a soft gray background; Bottle Glass, a light blue reminiscent of the little bit of blue in the photo, and Beach Treasure, a soft amethyst-pink (which I used some artistic license and darkened up a bit, to create a color with more depth and richness).
All three colorways are now available on the Dyed-to-Order page at Spirit Trail Fiberworks. The listings will be open from July 19-July 25, 2018. Click the shop link for more details!
Wherever your knitting takes you for the rest of 2018, this club has you covered. The Go Anywhere Club is inspired by The Reading Rainbow. Each month’s pattern and Shawl Pin are designed to be as uplifting as reading a new book.
Each month’s shipment will include:
-An Exclusive Shawl Pin
-New Knitting Pattern
-Yarn Suggestions
and of course…
-Bonus goodies!!
Sign-ups close on July 27th, so get your spot before time runs out!
With the latest shop update, you can now enjoy FREE domestic shipping (and $5 Canadian/$9.50 UK flat rate!) with One Sock Wonder Bags! All new Sheep Squeezer prints and updated pricing structures make this latest shop update a MUST SEE!
Curious what a Sheep Squeezer is? Here’s the description straight from one of over 30 different prints:
“Keep your yarn free from tangles with this Sheep Squeezer by One Sock Wonder Bags!
By applying pressure to the cake, while covering it from other items in your project bag, the Sheep Squeezer keeps your yarn confined and tangle-free.
Slip a center-pull cake or center-pull ball of yarn into this stretchy sleeve to keep your yarn contained and tangle free. As you use your yarn up in a project, the Sheep Squeezer keeps a hold of your yarn, preventing big jumbled messes of leftovers in the bottom of your project bag.”
Totally can’t live without one (or four!)? Head on over to the shop and grab yours now!
With the changes in the marketplace, plenty of new indie shops have been opening on FiberCrafty. This means lots of gorgeous new listings and product options! Scroll through and just browse or use our filters to search for breed specific yarn or fiber, a yarn weight for that project you have been eyeing or if you just want something in purple.
Posted pictures correspond to the shops listed below!
Pen & Hook is one of our newer shops and has a really unique product line of hand dyed sari silk. It’s available in 12 colors and varying lengths. Just imagine all the unique ways this could be used from adding textured stripes, to a gorgeous statement cowl to wrapping gifts or creating jewelry. Lisa also has beautifully hand-dyed silk yarn listings.
The Spun Bunny shop has a variety of yarn in different fibers (yak, silk, Cashmere and more!) and weights (from lace to worsted), as well as different types of spinning fiber that range in preparations like braids, rolags, and silk brick. Marissa’s love of color really shows!
One of my favorite things about the APLCrafts Handmade shop is that many of the yarns can be used beautifully together. Alicia also offers great suggestions for coordinating yarns in each listing. She doesn’t always repeat her colorways so if you see something you like, don’t wait around.
Sharon mostly has yarn but also offers some fiber in her CabinWool shop as well. She uses a range of yarn bases including corriedale and has some really beautiful variegated options. Check out her beautiful “Kissin Cousins” sets – two coordinating skeins that can be purchased individually as well.
LizaDeeOriginals is another newer shop and each time I see one of her listings for yarn or fiber, it takes my breath away! Bobbie’s dye technique is unique and she also has some true, gradual color gradients.
Jacqui of Lowlander Yarn Studio has just started adding listings to her shop and she offers a luxurious yarn base that is perfect for shawls! It is a blend of BFL, silk and cashmere available in multiple tonal colors, inspired by nature.

A rare five day stretch in the country and dye studio last week, with no particular plan in mind, dovetailed with the brutal heatwave in the Northeast. It’s little surprise that I ended up with a refreshing river of cool blues.
Some of the new items just added to the shop are Mystic Harbour Singles in both fingering and lace (shown with companion color Destroyed), Sea Glass Yakima Merino, silk, yak lace, Ocean’s 11 Harbour Singles Fingering, and Portsmouth Siren Merino silk lace.
Stay cool and knit on!
KnitSpinQuilt is exited to announce the first of several collaborations with yarn dyers!
This very first kit is a collaboration with Yarn Over New York and Gannet Designs. Customize it and make it exactly what you want: you get a medium drawstring project bag, one or two skeins of fingering-weight yarn, a lace shawl pattern, and a stitch marker.
The project bag — a medium drawstring project bag sewn by Alisa of KnitSpinQuilt — is made from a fabric whose pattern was designed by Naomi of Gannet Designs. The lovely, lovely yarn is dyed by Jessie of Yarn Over New York.
You get to customize the kit in several ways. We’re offering it in three different colors (green, blue, and purple) and two different yarns: Times Square Sock (Merino/nylon) or Astoria (alpaca/Merino). Choose your color, choose your yarn base. Finally, choose whether you want one skein of yarn, or two skeins of yarn.
The kit comes with a pattern for a brand new shawl: the Semiramis Semicircular Shawl, designed by Alisa of KnitSpinQuilt using Gannet Designs lace patterns. You can make a shawlette with one skein of yarn, or a large shawl with two skeins. You’ll also get a custom matching stitch marker as a little bonus.
You can pre-order the kit at Yarn Over New York’s new website. Orders are capped at 30 kits, so hurry over!
You’ll receive a Ravelry download code for the pattern as part of your purchase. Don’t have Ravelry? We’ll print it and mail a physical copy of the pattern to you with the yarn — just make a note in your order.
“Gradients A Deux” is a rectangular-shaped shawl consisting of simple lace paired with garter and stockinette stitch. The shawl is worked from the center out, in the round until the specified stitch count is achieved. Each side of the shawl is then worked separately. A series of increases and decreases along the right-side rows result in a zigzag pattern which accents the beautiful gradients’ color progressions and produces an unusual edging on the ends.
Gauge: 22 sts by 52 rows = 4 inches in garter st
Yarn: Shawl uses two gradient sets, 6 skeins per set, 133 yds/skein. This shawl also lends itself to using up scrap yarn.
Size: Approximately 18” in width by 94” in length at longest point
All patterns in my store, including this pattern, are 25% off until July 31st.
