This year we are going to take a brand new journey down that Rabbit Hole….
“Women in History”

Five popular yarn designers have agreed to join along and create a pattern based on a woman in history that made an impression on them.

As always, the yarns, patterns and the colors are completely designer driven and the yarns they have chosen are nice ones. The colorways will be created based on the color inspiration that each designer sends me, whether with pictures of descriptions. I love designing colorways this way!

The names of the women and yarns will be listed as they are given to me by the designers.

Each shipment will contain the yarn, a unique pattern and a special art card tucked in.

This is the order of the mailings:

January ~ The Healthy Knitter ~ Sporty Grace
March ~ Skeinwalker ~ Opulence
June ~ Paulina P Designs ~ Single Ply Yan fingering yarn (brand new yarn!)
September ~ AliciaPlum ~ Heron
December ~ Blue Bee Studio ~ TBA

The yarn colorway in that base and the pattern will remain exclusive for six months after it is shipped. Each shipment will ship out approximately the third week of each month. We will allow for an additional skein of yarn to be added to save on shipment at the same time. 🙂

You can order this extra skein for all shipments or for just one… you choose. (U.S. only — due to high shipping costs we will have to charge additional postage on international packages.)

We will also offer a choice of two forms of payment, either a one time payment that is discounted or a bimonthly installment.

Winter is soon approaching here in the Hudson Valley and on November 1, 2017, the Pandia’s Jewels Winter Collection will launch on the website. This collection will includes a bunch of new winter-inspired colors that range from speckled to blue/green tonal colors. All of the colors will be in stock, ready to ship, and will be available on a variety of yarn bases, including my Snug fingering, Shimmer single-ply fingering, and Delight DK. A few colors are even OOAK, which means they are one of a kind and usually dyed in small quantities.

In a time when U.S. Army regulations forbade the enlistment of women, Cathay Williams enlisted under the name William Cathay on November 15, 1866. She told the recruiting officer that she was a 22-year-old cook. An Army Surgeon examined her and determined she was fit for duty. Cathay Williams then became the first documented black woman to enlist in the Army. She was assigned to the 38th U.S. Infantry and traveled throughout the West with her unit. She was discharged in October 1868 when an Army surgeon found out she was a woman. She is the only known female Buffalo Solider.

The Cathay Williams shawl is a crescent shaped shawl knit flat with sections of mesh and textured slip stitches. It uses two skeins of sock yarn to create a cozy shaped shawl that is perfect for chilly nights. The slipped stitch texture shows off highly variegated yarns. The length of the shawl is adaptable if you would like to adjust the size of your shawl or the amount of yarn used.

Supplies: Approximately 825 yards of fingering weight yarn (sample uses Fresh From the Cauldron Schoodic Sock in the colorway Poe’s Absinthe Induced Dream), US 4 circular needle in a length of 32″ or 40″, 2 stitch markers, tapestry needle, blocking pins

Finished Measurements (After Blocking)
32″ wide
44″ height (or depth) including wings

While many were exploring Rhinebeck, I had the honor of selling yarn at a local event here in Texas: The Hill Country Yarn Crawl. I’m happy to say that I sold quite a bit, but you’re in luck, because I had some left! I have updated my shop with my remaining inventory of yarn, including a new base! With only two remaining skeins, my sock base is 75% SW Merino, 25% nylon. I will be dying more of these up, but with handpaint it will never be exactly the same.

I also added my remaining 100% SW Merinos, in both the 50g tonals and 100g handpaints.

All of my colorways are dyed to match original oil paintings created by me, and each skein purchased comes with a greeting card with the painting image on the front. At about 450 yds, all of my fingering skeins are perfect for socks, shawls, scarves and more!

It has taken two years of collaboration between two crazy English teachers from Georgia and Washington state, but just in time for holiday knitting, my first knitting pattern book is finally LIVE! I have designed seven of the patterns in the collection, and the photography and bunny-soft beret pattern are courtesy of my partner, Michelle Guilmet-Buck.

South is a collection of modern accessory patterns that blur the lines of culture, gender, and generation. The eight patterns in this collection are designed to be adaptable to any situation or social event, as well as being relatively straightforward and easy enough for even the knitting novice. The collection includes four patterns for women and four patterns for men. Although the book is available in its entirety electronically, because we have elected to first make it available online, it is also possible to purchase the patterns of the collection individually. The pattern collection is available on Ravelry, as well as the individual patterns. Craftsy offers the individual patterns for purchase as well.

Here’s how Socktoberfest works:

McMullin Fiber Co. is celebrating Socktober with a Socktoberfest sale and giveaway!

First – you get 25% off your purchase. The entire shop is on sale through October 31st. Fade sets, minis, Merino/Cashmere/nylon blends, so much fibery goodness.

Next, for every individual item you purchase, you get an entry into one of our giveaways. Let us know in the notes to seller how you would like to split up your entries: [A] 3 months of Lit Society yarn club (value $99), [B] Ball winder and swift (value $110), or [C] and [D] two fiber craft care packages with yarn and other fiber loving accessories (est. value $60/ea). Yarn club signups count as one item per month purchased (a 12 month subscription = 12 entries!). Multiple skein sets count for as many skeins in the bundle (mini sets count as one).

So basically you pick how you enter – put all your entries into one basket, or split them up among a few different giveaways. You can also get one entry just by following us and commenting on Instagram (@mcmullinfiberco) or Facebook. We’ll announce drawing winners in our Etsy shop announcement and on our social media accounts on November 1st. Good luck!!!

I hope everyone has gotten past their Rhinebeck hangover OK! I’m looking forward to next year already (because I’ve gotten a house booked!)

But anyways, just wanted to share that I have some great aran weight yarns in the shop all ready to be made into winter hats!

I also have some of my holiday kits still available. They include 12 surprise minis, and an option to buy a coordinating full skein. The kit also includes a bag of goodies from some of our other favorite makers. The idea is to use them however you see fit for whatever holiday you celebrate. It’s a fabulous kit and you don’t want to miss out!

Next Shop Update: Sunday, November 5 @ 7 p.m. Central.

Worked seamlessly from the top down with one of the prettiest lace patterns ever (both charted and written out), this versatile, drop-shouldered pullover can be worked either as a sleeveless top in a lightweight fiber for warm climes, or with sleeves to keep you cozy in chilly weather.

Short rows shape the shoulders so that they angle downward (no dreaded “wings” at the shoulders!) and reduce bulk at the underarms. Slim sleeves keep the look modern and sleek. A photo tutorial lets you check your work, and Lyrical Knits’ popular Some Thoughts About Fit section is included to help you modify to your tastes.
