I’ve just opened signups for the next round of Yarn Knot, my yarn subscription service. The format now includes a sweater option. The sweater installment will ship in August, so you can get a jump-start on your Rhinebeck sweater . . . or any other sweater.
There are three fingering weight shipments, and one of them will be a 2-color project. All colorways are exclusive. Installment payments are available. See website for details. Space is limited.
For those of you celebrating the holidays, there aren’t many shopping days left. To help with those last minute presents, we have gift certificates available in any amount. Get one for the knitter on your shopping list or add one to your own wish list.
Another nice gift. . . Yarn Knot Socks. Start the new year with a flurry of sock knitting. Subscriptions are still open, but space is limited.
Sign-ups are now open for Yarn Knot Socks, a yarn subscription dedicated to socks. While away the winter with sock knitting. Selections will ship the middle of January, February and March. Each installment will highlight a different yarn base, an exclusive colorway and a suggested pattern.
Two payment options are available. Space is limited. See the website for details.
I’ve just opened sign-ups for another year of Yarn Knot, my quarterly yarn subscription service. Each shipment includes a skein of hand-dyed, fingering-weight yarn along with a suggested pattern. Yarn Knot allows me to experiment with different fiber blends that aren’t part of my current lineup, and it’s a fun way for subscribers to try something new. All colorways are exclusive for one year. Payment options include either one-time or quarterly installments.
Above photos feature colorways and projects from past Yarn Knot installments.
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.
The rollout of new colorways continues. Julia is a silky superwash Merino/Tencel blend and has excellent drape and shimmer. See the website for new colors in addition to Beach Bum, Champagne, Spring Green and Goofy Grape featured here. Note that Julia is now available in slightly larger skeins.
In travel news, I’ll be at New Hampshire Sheep and Wool on Mother’s Day weekend. This is one of the few events where I’m an outside vendor. I won’t know my exact location until that weekend but, will post details on Twitter, the blog and the Ravelry group.
Mavis, a fingering weight Merino/silk blend, is delightful to work with. Soft Merino with a silky shimmer makes this a luxurious yarn. I’m excited to announce that this yarn is available in larger skeins. Mavis now comes in 113 gram / 434 yard skeins. That’s over 50 yards more than the previous skein size. See the website for details and several new colorways.

I’ve just released a few new colorways in Lillian. Since spring is slow to make an appearance this year, these new colors are a fun way to add a touch of spring to your knitting.
A true sign of the season is the Great Rhody Yarn Crawl, which is happening this weekend in Rhode Island. On Sunday, I’ll be on hand at the marketplace at Mount Hope Farm. If you’re in the area, try to take advantage of this event. It’s a great way to support local yarn shops and fiber artists.
The X-Mitts Kit has been added to the website. As we transition to warmer weather, these fingerless mitts will come in handy. It features a blend of Alpaca, Merino and Silk and comes in a variety of colors.
New colorways are in the works for spring and summer. Keep an eye on the website.
