Things have been quiet from The Vault lately but no longer! We have a new monthly yarn club, combining the best things, it might just be that I’m British but who doesn’t love yarn patterns and TEA! Yes I can’t overstate this, TEA my friends. Let’s not forget that It’s a Third Vault Yarns club, so it’s full of Sci Fi and Fantasy goodness. With that in mind our theme for February is Rey from The Force Awakens, don’t wait, get your sign ups in here as they close on February 10th.

We will also have the first installment of the Quarterly Yarn Club for 2017 opening for sign ups next week.

If that wasn’t quite enough yarn for you we’ve got our winter collection updated in the store with each of the colourways on a variety of bases. Inspired by books and fantasy themes; There Be Monsters, with the Atomic sea, lightning and strange creatures from the deep, More Steam, which represents a fantasy industrial age in Britain with Isambard Kingdom Brunel at its heart and Dragon scales with great shimmery iridescent scales. Check out the Collection at Thirdvaultyarns.com.

In the pattern world, we’ve recently released the next addition to the Glass collection of short row centric patterns with Blown Glass, a large drapey shawl, using short row techniques to help your knitting flow and cut down on the really long rows you get in large shawls. It’s also a great canvas for different colour combinations and you can even use your minis to make this shawl your own. So check it out now whilst it is on offer for the KAL.

Speaking of KALs, the For the Love of Short Rows KAL in the Third Vault Ravelry group is starting on Valentines Day, the 14th of February. This KAL is designed to help you get confident with short rows if you aren’t already, or just challenge you to try a new method. It’s fine to have tackled short rows before, if so pick a type of project you haven’t used them in and give them a go there. We want to help you discover or (reinforce) your love of short rows, so come join us! Pick one of the patterns offered for the KAL by some of our fantastic designers or bring one you’ve been hesitant to start and just have fun.

Third Vault Designs and Yarns is holding a back to school knit-along to coincide with the season transitioning into Autumn/fall and the littleuns heading back into the classroom.

Swing Me Right Round is an incredibly versatile garment. The jumper is designed to be reversible, so if you want to change up your style you can literally swing it right round — hence the name. Pair it with a dress, skirt or jeans, it works wonderfully with them all. The best part is you don’t have to deal with standard sizing: this jumper is designed to be knit to YOUR size. The pattern comes with a spreadsheet that you input your gauge and measurements. This then generates your stitches to cast on, how many repeats you need to do, your increases, stitch counts for important sections and more. When applied to the pattern, you get to knit a garment that will fit you the way you want and you’ll never want to take it off!

The knit-along runs from the 7th of September to the 31st of October in the Third Vault on the Left Ravelry group. You can join in at any time with no obligation to finish by the end of October. To enter the prize draws, you need to be either 50% finished to win a Third Vault Designs Pattern, or 100% finished to get the chance to win one of three Third Vault Yarns skeins of yarn and a pattern. For more information visit the group or the blog.

To top it all off, the pattern is on sale with £2 off from Ravelry when using the code KALtime! and free with any purchase of Companion 4ply or Echo DK for the KAL from Third Vault Yarns. Custom Orders for the KAL also receive a free gift!
