Stop by our website and check out the Brush Creek Shawl Kit, the latest addition to our collection. This design uses three distinct colors and shifts from dark to light. The kit includes the pattern and Mavis, a luxurious blend of Superwash Merino and Silk. The Brush Creek Shawl Kit is available in three different color combinations.
New, exclusive Antiprism shawl kits were added to the shop this week. A perfect transitional piece, the shawl is wide enough to be worn as a wrap on warmer days, or a scarf for chilly evenings!
A collaboration with designer Renee Callahan from EastLondonKnit, the garter-stitch shawl kit comes with 4 skeins of TWIST — the softest 100% Superwash British Bluefaced Leicester fingering/sock — in a range of colours (as shown) and a Ravelry pattern download code.
Click through to the Kettle Yarn Co. shop for more details on the shawl and its unique construction for the perfect spring accessory…
I’ve been hard at work putting together some new scents for my Sweet Sheep lotion bars! Besides moisturizing your skin with nourishing ingredients (like lanolin!), solid lotion bars are a treat for your nose, too. I love the way the fragrance subtly lingers throughout the day. When I want a little hit of almond or chocolate or spring flowers, I just take a sniff!
I am often amused by the types of items I need to gather together for a successful photo shoot to represent my scents, and this round was no exception! It’s not often that I walk into a flower shop to purchase six carnations and a handful of different mosses, for example. Or into a grocery store for a pound cake, lemons, some caramels, and dried chilli peppers, for that matter (though that would make for an interesting meal). Sometimes coming up with intriguing and representative photos is half the fun! The new scents are:
Carnation — a sweet, romantic floral with just a touch of clove.
Sea Moss — a gentle, peaceful, clean scent that has floral base notes.
Green Tea — a bright, herbal, slightly tangy, and refined scent.
Chipotle Caramel — a sugary-sweet, vanilla-based scent with a hint of spice.
Lemon Cake — a warm, buttery, practically-edible citrus scent (this might just be my favorite right now… YUM).

The refreshing, cooling rain on a summer afternoon and the rejuvenating scent of fresh lavender were the inspiration for my newest yarn, Rain Drops. Beautiful aqua and blue hues flow through the yarn with hints of delicate lavender. Together, they create a Zen-like color combination that’s hard to resist.
This beautiful Merino/silk singly-ply yarn, paired with Katie Degroff’s exclusive pattern, Rain Kissed, creates a beautiful, airy, and lacey cowl that will be perfect for wearing on cool spring days or summer evenings. It can be a perfect accessory for your outfit to add color, texture and a bit of warmth.
