We’ve got a new base yarn up in our Etsy Shop this week.
It’s a yarn with exquisite drape. It also holds its shape so that every stitch in a lace pattern is distinct. And, it cables beautifully. This yarn does it all. I’ve enjoyed test knitting with this yarn as much as any base I’ve ever knit with.
Yak Silk DK. 65% Superwash Merino, 20% Silk, and 15% Yak. Each skein has 231 yards of lovely, plump yarn.
The special colorways I’ve created for base yarns with Yak fiber all coordinate beautifully. Knit with them separately or together. Knit a hat or some fingerless mitts in a single color or combine two or more for a shawl. This yarn will knit up at a true DK weight and it’s a pleasure to knit with.
Inspired by Psalm 139:13 “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb” & Genesis 2:24 “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh,” “k2tog by God” diaper cover stamps the truth of God’s Word on the precious booty He just created.
The tech edited and test knit pattern includes written directions, a chart & written directions for the lettering, a schematic, and a photo tutorial.
Sue and Chelsea came together to create a line of hand-dyed yarns inspired by popular television shows, movies and more. They started this adventure with their YouTube podcast LegacyKnitz and quickly decided they wanted to be more involved in the loving commuKNITy they found themselves in. It is the mission of Legacy Fiber Artz to spread love through commuKNITy and creativity.
With Pointed Sticks Yarn’s most recent shop update featured a new line up of colors, and a new luxury base: Fountain Pen. Fountain pens are the height of luxury when it comes to writing tools. They write smoothly, and are frequently collectors’ items. This fingering base has a similar feel. This plush 3-ply yarn is composed of 70% Superwash Merino, 20% silk and 10% Cashmere, giving it a gorgeous sheen and an unbelievable softness.
To celebrate reaching 1,000 followers on Instagram, I’m giving away a skein of yarn from my shop to one winner! Head over to Instagram to enter before Friday, February 17, 2017.
Triangles and parallelograms transform leftover linen yarn into a uniquely constructed shape shifting cowl that keeps the little grey cells engaged while actually being a simple knit. Pitch Cowl harkens to baseball stripes, geometry love, and bias construction, with just a touch of elegance in the top running edging.
The tech edited & test knit pattern includes written directions and a work flow schematic. Check out the You Tube “Pitch Cowl Short Row Triangle Demo” for a demonstration on Triangle 2.
That’s right we have all kinds of fun spewing all over the studio!

Not sure you can make it through six more weeks of winter? Don’t worry, we’ve got just the thing to knit (or crochet) your way to spring: the Master Color Series 2!
Each set in our Master Color Series contains colors which complement each other, making it easy to choose the perfect color for your next project…because no matter what you pick, they all look great together! We’ve chosen our luxurious 100% Mongolian Cashmere base Xanadu, a light fingering weight which is perfect for stripes, colorwork, or to use all on its own.
This is the time of year when we start to hope for winter’s end — but until spring arrives, the warmth and comfort of a fine cocktail and even better yarn can get us through the long, cold days.
So, this time around we decided to name all 6 colors in this series after cocktails! Shown above (from L-R): Macbeth, Absinthe, Blonde Ambition, Beneath Broken Earth, Maiden’s Blush & Cosmo. Click here to seem them all!
My favorite movie growing up was The Sound of Music. Every afternoon after school I would watch it from the beginning until it was time for dinner. So I’ve created a surprise yarn club full of gorgeous yarns inspired by the movie and other little secret goodies!
Every month you can choose the base and how many skeins you want, but the colorway will be a surprise! The colorway may be a semi-solid, variegated, speckled….who knows?! That’s the fun part! I will provide a picture that will inspire my creation so that you kinda get an idea of what you’ll be getting.
You can decide each month if you want to participate based on the month’s theme. You can read more about each base here.
Each kit will contain the following :
1 skein of yarn
A few of my favorite things, all fiber related
Coupons available only to yarn club members
Knit and crochet pattern suggestions
This month’s theme is “The Hills Are Alive”
Kits are available for purchase until February 28, 2017 and will be shipped mid to late March. Shipping is free in the US.
