Preorders are open for a VERY special yarn box!

Four independent Colorado yarn-dyers (Bad Lux Designs, The Conifer Collective, Huck & Rae Fiber Studio, and Spindrift Fiber Boutique) partnered to source and develop a unique blend of heritage wools from our region. Working with local shepherds at Cedar Mesa Ranch who care for Navajo Churro sheep (a heritage breed), as well as a local mill for spinning, each dyer carefully hand dyed a skein to craft a coordinating five-skein tonal color palette for this collaboration. One skein in each palette has been left in its natural state — beautifully un-dyed so that you may experience the pure joy of this exclusive blend. As wool lovers first and foremost, we have learned that the best way to save endangered sheep breeds is to give them a job — So let’s put this wool to work!

Inside your special five-skein box, you will encounter a one-of-a-kind blend of heritage breed wools.:

FIBER: 15% Navajo Churro / 20% alpaca / 65% Bluefaced Leicester
BASE: 2-ply, thick & thin weight (averaging DK throughout)
LENGTH: 5 skeins, each skein is approx. 125 yds = Approx 625yds total
COLORS: Boxes are available in warm or cool-toned palettes

Preorders for this box are open now through Monday, October 9th in all dyers’ shops (listed below). This box will never be crafted or offered again. Quantities are VERY limited. So please don’t hesitate if this special Colorado-made collaboration sounds like something you’d love!

The pumpkins are ripe in the fields, the apples are ready to be picked, and our weekends are fully booked with leaf-peeping adventures. Here in New York State, we take autumn very seriously, so to embrace the season’s change, Megs & Co has added a bushel of autumn-inspired colorways to their collection of Ellis yarn.

Ellis yarn is 100% made in New York State. From wool produced on just two small farms in central New York, that was meticulously hand scoured with love before being spun at Battenkill Fibers and finally hand-dyed by Meg. It’s a one of a kind yarn that is a true New York treasure.

Bewitching shades of all the gorgeous deep colors of the season. Bewitched is our colorway of the week and it’s a magical mix of scarlet, and fuchsia, amber and chocolate, persimmon and purple. Dazzling beyond the typical colors of the season, Bewitched will bring charm to any project you make with it. Paired with Berry Scary it’s a screamingly beautiful combination.

We also have a restock of our luxurious Woolf base in Out of Mist and Mallow. Time to treat yourself to the good stuff.

And speaking of the good stuff our Bronte base in Berry Scary and Mallow. Delightful. Bronte, our suri alpaca plus silk base, is making friends with lots and lots of our other yarns, adding a lovely halo plus a delicious softness to projects without adding weight. We’ve restocked Pretty in Pink, Berry, and Vintage, as well as Berry Scary and Mallow to coordinate with all the lovelies in the shop.

November is right around the corner and so is #NaCroKniSweMo — National Crochet/Knit a Sweater Month! Each November Olive & Two Ewe host a make-a-long where we knit or crochet a sweater all in the month of November. A sweater in a month seems like a daunting task but with fiber friends to help the knitting goes quickly and at the end of the month you have a beautiful sweater! This year, Carolyn will make the Humulus sweater by Isabell Kraemer, and Michelle will make the Gossamer Twist sweater by Caidree. If you’d like to knit along, choose the one you’d like to knit and select from our Humulus Kit or Gossamer Twist kits in so many beautiful colors.

Make plans to get your tickets and come see us at the Olive & Two Ewe Studios booth at Indie Untangled in upstate NY in October. You never know where we’ll pop up! Sign up for our newsletter to stay up to date or join our fun, free Facebook Group, the Yarny Ewes.

Last, but not least, we are live on our YouTube channel, The Traveling Two Ewe Knit, every Saturday morning at 9:30AM Eastern time. Grab your coffee or tea, your yarn, and let’s have a great time together!

Fiber friends are the best friends! Thanks for being a part of our yarn community, and we’ll be back next week for more updates and adventures!

Join me in welcoming our two new hardwood helpers! ????

After the resounding success of my new Cedar Sheep, I spent some time pondering which adorable animals should join the herd next. In the end, it was an easy call, as what could be better than bringing our family’s four-legged family members into the fold? Without further ado, I’d like to introduce you to the new Dependable Dogs & Crafty Cats!

One of my favorite things about working with cedar in my new laser cutter is the ability to create two-toned designs with ease. These Crafty Cats are ready to listen to all your WIP woes, hop on and help, and work their little hearts out with their cute details.

As for the Dependable Dogs, they’re ready to “spot” you on your trickiest stitches with their two-tone designs. While their real-life counterpart may be man’s best friend, these adorable end-minders just might be the stitcher’s sidekick!

So, which friends will you be welcoming to your fiber art family? ????

Is the summer heat finally breaking where you are? I can’t wait any longer for cool nights and crisp breezes — so I’ve been working with all the gorgeous fall prints for new project bags coming in my next drop. This is a really pretty group. Like all of my bags, they’re all fully lined with pockets inside. Some feature repurposed fabrics rescued from the landfill. Customers asked and I answered — you asked for bags with darker interiors and some with magnetic snap closures… as you wish! There will also be a few zipper bags and smaller bags. New products will be available to email subscribers on Sunday. Haven’t joined yet? Sign up at my website today, and you’ll be in the group getting first pick!

Project bags have been added to the site! There are three different sizes to choose from. They will accommodate small to medium size projects depending on the size you choose. Each one has a handle to hang over your wrist or hold in your hand, a drawstring to cinch up the bag, and five side pockets of various sizes to hold all your tools inside. They are built with box bottoms so they stand up easily. Each bag exterior is made with medium-weight woven fabrics such as cotton canvas, cotton/linen blend, or home décor weight. The interiors are made of muslin as to not add too much bulk to the bag. The drawstrings are suede/leather laces.

I have also added a few more Westknits MKAL kits! This is probably it for the year. I want to make sure you all get them in time to cast on in October!

The Dyed to Order section is always open on my web site. It’s ready for any custom order and sweater quantity you can dream up! Bring on ALL the fall knitting! I will soon be adding new bases for the fall/winter. Stay tuned…

Preorders for skein-only packages of the September “Vincent van Gogh Yarn Club” are now available on my website through September 24th.

This order will ship by the end of September and will include the skein and a fact card about the artwork. This listing does NOT include any of the extra goodies for the yarn club subscribers.

This skein is based off of “Self Portrait with Bandaged Ear,” one of the most famous portraits of the artist himself. This yarn features green/blue for the coat, yellow for his wall, black speckles with blue for the hat and a purposefully left white spot for the bandage.

You may preorder as many skeins as you wish from the selected bases. Preorders will end on September 24th to give me enough time to dye and ship packages.

Base choices:
(Shown on Light)

Light- 2ply fingering, 400 yds/100gram, 100% SW Merino
Sock – 4ply fingering, 463 yds/100gram, 75% SW Merino, 25% nylon

Come and see sheep shearing demos, sheepdog herding demos, the fleece & wool show, sheep to shawl competition, skeins & textiles competition, our hands-on crafting Wooly Adventures area, over 60 fabulous vendors, food and drink, and of course… sheep!

Bring your spinning wheel, a picnic blanket, and some friends and hang out with us on October 7 & 8 in Dixon, California, about halfway between the Bay Area and Sacramento. We’ve got a bus from San Francisco and Oakland on the 8th if you don’t want to drive! Workshops are also open, as are discounted full weekend tickets, and we’ve even got a few more outdoor vendor booths available for fiber or fiber-adjacent businesses. Check out our website for more details, and join our newsletter and follow us on instagram for all the latest info. We hope to see you there!

From our Dye Live Plus Club, comes Nonnatus House, a stunning colorway inspired by the BBC series Call the Midwife. The show is about a group of nurses and nuns bringing the best of care to the poorest folk in the London suburb of Poplar. Dramatic tones of red, black and grey against a white field make the Nonnatus House colorway a must-have addition to your stash. It’s the perfect thing for winter knits without seeming too “holiday.” We kind of get a Snow White vibe and we are enchanted with the pairing with Midnight and Spindleprick Red.

We’ve got another treat in the shop – the Knitting the National Park book. Every U.S. National Park has a unique beanie in this beautiful pattern collection by Nancy Bates. There are a whopping 63 patterns ranging from simple to challenging with breathtaking photography and easy to follow instructions. These super popular pattern books will not last long.

Our colorway Burnt is shown here with gorgeous Harvest Moon. These were so popular last week, we sold out, but they’re now available on preorder so you can get what you want. Burnt brings the warmth of the hearth to our fall palette. It’s gorgeous tones of orange, pumpkin, and saffron are just the pop of color to make Harvest Moon really shine.

Last but not least, we’re live on our YouTube channel, The Traveling Two Ewe Knit, every Saturday morning at 9:30AM Eastern time. Grab your coffee or tea, your yarn, and let’s have a great time together!

Fiber friends are the best friends! Thanks for being a part of our yarn community, and we’ll be back next week for more updates and adventures!

We’ve restocked our two fall sock sets! This week I took the opportunity to knit up a couple samples as well. Each full skein comes with TWO mini skeins. The possibilities are endless!

We also have new Geogradient: Westknits MKAL Sets available as well. If you haven’t settled on your colors yet, check these out. There are three different bases offered. They include Classic Sock, Silk Sock and Yak Sock. All sets are in stock and ready to ship! Anything ordered by 2pm EDT will be shipped same day. Get ready to cast on in October!

If you’re interested in a custom set of colors for the MKAL, shoot me an email, and I’d be happy to help you put together some color combos for you to choose from!
