Single-ply yarn lovers rejoice! We have just published a shop update featuring an all single-ply worsted weight yarnapalooza of lofty, fluffy, shiny superwash merino in our slightly thick and thin textured Mashmellow-Rino yarn base. This update includes vibrant non-pooling variegated yarns, new neon variegated yarns and matching neon, highlighter marker box inspired semi-solids, as well as a cafe au lait colourway inspired by the coffee shop where a local knitting group meets on Saturdays for some of the best doughnuts in town.

This is a quick update for everyone who has been nice enough to email and say this miss us! Some of you have noticed changes on the website, as we incorporate the new logo and start changing up the site. While I’ve been away from selling yarn, we’ve been busy knitting samples. When the new site launches, there will be lots of advice on which yarns love which patterns, how the different colorways knit up (which can be a surprise from how they look in the skein), and making decisions about substituting yarns. The opportunity to test knit extensively with our yarn will enhance your experience and the information we can provide to help you get just what you want. We are really looking forward to the launch, but it won’t be for a while yet. Please stay in touch with us on The Elliebelly Blog until then!

With Pointed Sticks Yarn is excited to announce the launch of the limited edition Cape Cod Collection! This new collection is made up of four new colorways plus one favorite that capture snapshots of Cape Cod.

With the launch of this collection, we are also introducing a new base – Calligraphy Fingering! Calligraphy Fingering is 50% superwash merino/50% silk. Each skein is 100 grams and 438 yards. This base takes color in a more subtle way than some of my other bases, and the result is a watercolor effect, perfect for this collection!

The Cape Cod Collection will launch on Friday, April 29th at 7:00 p.m. EST in the With Pointed Sticks Yarn Etsy shop, and will only be available until the end of July! Full skeins of each color will be available on Ballpoint Sock (80% superwash merino/20% nylon, 100g/400y) and the new Calligraphy Fingering bases. Mini skein sets of all five colors will be available in both bases as well. All colors will be available dyed-to-order on any of my current bases (full skeins only – mini skeins cannot be dyed-to-order).

A collaboration between New England Knitting and Toil & Trouble, the Osceola Mountain socks are cozy, mock cable socks inspired by hiking in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Available as a kit through Toil & Trouble!
