With our Yarny Ewes travel group in Scotland making memories and enjoying unique experiences, we thought we’d bring a bit of Scottish inspiration to the shop. The Ewes & Coos collection is here! Beautiful shades inspired by the sights of Scotland as captured by our travelers’ photos. This four-hank set is now available for preorder on your choice of four of our beautiful bases.

Our dyer, Carolyn, is also a talented knitwear designer. She’s created the Making Memories Cowl to commemorate the trip. Knit in the round, this beautiful cowl is an easy to make project, perfect for travel. Get the pattern on Ravelry or our website. We’ve also got kits for the cowl — choose the Many Minis of Spring or the Many Minis of Moody, or select your own combo of Hawthorne DK mini hanks to create your look. This very wearable cowl is sure to be a wardrobe favorite.

Our Botanical Scarf Dyeing Experience was such a success and a great time, too. So many beautiful scarves by our creative participants! And we’ve heard that our out-of-town customers want to participate so, we’ve created the Botanical Scarf Dyeing Experience: Zoom Edition.

We’ve got a great selection of craft books in the shop. Why not grab one to add to your library?

While we are in Scotland, we won’t be going live as usual on Saturday mornings, BUT we will be going live periodically from Scotland. You don’t want to miss these little lives, so please be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel, The Traveling Two Ewe Knit, and click the bell for notifications.

Remember, fiber friends make the best friends! Thank you for being an integral part of our vibrant yarn community. Stay tuned for more updates and adventures next week! 🎈

Mark your calendar and join us for the second annual Fayette County Fiber Festival on Saturday, June 1, 2024 at the Fayette County Fairgrounds in Dunbar, PA!

Admission and parking are FREE! Market hours will be 10AM to 4PM.

Browse the booths of over two dozen vendors from Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland and Virginia. The vendors will be offering a variety of hand-dyed yarn and fiber, raw fleeces, handcrafted soaps and lotions, bags, stitch markers, pottery and finished items. There will be sheep shearing demonstrations throughout the day, and a local guild will be onsite doing a fleece-to-shawl demonstration. Enjoy a meal or snack from two food trucks.

We will be collecting non-perishable items for the local food pantry. Please bring a canned good or HBA item to donate.
There will be a yarn winding station available for all your new purchases. Cost will be $1 per 100-gram skein. All proceeds from yarn winding will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project.
For those coming from outside the area, there are several other local festivals going on that weekend in addition to the abundance of hiking and biking trails that are available at nearby Ohiopyle State Park. Ohiopyle, PA, was recently named the Best Small Town in the Northeast by USA Today.)

Our intense show period is now done until May so we are getting all the new yarn on the website and will be caught up early next week. New batches of yarn going on the website include Brimham 4ply (Merino/nylon), Bowland Aran (Bluefaced Leicester), Nateby 4ply (Merino/nylon/silver Lurex) and Keld Fingering (Merino/linen). There are lots of colours to choose from with plenty of combinations that will also be added to the website.

Keld Fingering is already on the website with combinations of three colours ready for the release of Laine Issue 20, on Friday 15th March. Lily Kate France has a design in the issue called Peppy Scarf, using Keld Fingering in Heliotrope, Mellifer and Rust. We have yarn packs of this combination and other combinations of two tonal colours with a pop colour. Laine is available from many other retailers.

Keld Fingering is a firm favourite of ours and is really versatile. To find out more about this fantastic yarn check out our blog posts about it; an introduction to the yarn here and projects and patterns inspiration here.

I’m excited to share that I am participating in the 4th Annual Knit For Food Knit-a-Thon, happening on Saturday, March 23, 2024!

I’ll be knitting for 12 hours straight to raise money for four wonderful organizations that work to combat food scarcity and hunger.

100% of the dollars raised will be split equally between:
1) Feeding America
2) No Kid Hungry
3) World Central Kitchen
4) Meals on Wheels

You can help me raise money for this important cause by donating to the Knit for Food Knit-a-thon, or signing up to knit!

Every donation will help get food into the hands of someone who needs it.

When you donate to Team Double the Stitches, you’ll receive:
1) A code for a FREE Pattern of your choice from me
2) A private link to join me on Zoom on Saturday, March 23rd from 2:00 – 4:00 PM EST to spend some time crafting together!

When you visit my Knit for Food page you can also choose to sign up as a knitter/crafter, simply click the JOIN THE KNIT-A-THON button, set up a profile, and start fundraising!

Will you support me in this effort, by making a one-time donation to the campaign?

LYS Day 2024 is fast approaching and, once again, I’m gearing up to celebrate everything I adore about local yarn shops. These cozy havens serve as more than just stores — they’re vibrant hubs where fiber enthusiasts gather to share their love and passion for all things yarn.

Established by TNNA members, Local Yarn Store Day is an annual homage to brick-and-mortar yarn shops. Now in its seventh year, this special day, slated for April 27th, is a testament to our collective support for small businesses and a unique opportunity to unite knitters, crocheters, weavers, and spinners in celebrating our craft. Both vendors and retailers are joining forces to showcase the distinct advantages of locally-owned yarn shops through an enticing array of special products, classes, and more. As one of these proud participants, I’m thrilled to contribute to the festivities once again.

The event has seen remarkable success in recent years, and I’m delighted to continue my involvement for the fifth consecutive year. Let’s ensure that LYS Day 2024 surpasses all expectations by spreading the word far and wide! Help me champion yarn shops across the U.S. and Canada by sharing your favorites with me using this form. You can even include a heartfelt “Love Letter” to express why they hold a special place in your heart.

I’ll personally extend invitations to them, inviting them to partake in this joyous occasion.

Together, let’s make LYS Day 2024 an unforgettable celebration of community, creativity, and the enduring charm of local yarn shops!

The last week has been a whirlwind of activity, with unpacking from Unravel, getting new yarn batches onto the website and also preparing for our next show which is this weekend. East Anglia Yarn Festival is taking place on Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th March at the Norfolk Showground Arena. For more information or to get tickets check out their website. We will be closed on Friday 8th March and so orders placed won’t be shipped until Tuesday 12th March. Laura is also not working on Friday and so email responses will be delayed until Monday.

After EAYF we will have new batches of Brimham 4ply, Bowland Aran and Keld Fingering to add to the website as soon as we are able to get it photographed so keep an eye out for these. The next yarn show confirmed in our schedule at this point is Buxton Wool Gathering on 18th and 19th May.

The Cloud Cowl is a versatile pattern that can easily be adapted in many ways as shown with the fluffy versions and the Yarnling™ version. We have reissued the pattern, adding a single-colour 4ply version and three options for different sizes of chunky cowls. We have rearranged the pattern so each version is written out in full on separate pages to avoid confusion. The pattern is available as a FREE download on our website, on Payhip and also available on Ravelry.

At Gothfarm Yarn, we’re all about embracing the beauty of undyed, naturally-colored yarns. At the same time, we love the array of colors that only indie dyers can achieve. That’s why I’m excited to share a new collaboration with Savvy Skeins that blends the best of both worlds!

Preorders opened last weekend for the Q 4000 knit sock kit. The kit comes in three contrasting color options: orange, yellow and green. The main color is a new yarn from us called Oxide, which is available only in this kit. The color comes from blending Jacob sheep wool with cinnamon red alpaca fleece. The kit pattern is the 80s Retro sock design by Belén Fernández, which is excellent for new sock knitters and available in both English and Spanish. The finished sock is thick and warm, great for wearing around the house, in thick boots, or open-backed shoes.

We have fewer than 50 kits left! Orders close March 1, 2024, and will ship later that month.

The inspiration – and name – for this kit came from what might sound like an unconventional place: a sea-faring oil rig called the Q 4000.

I spent a week aboard the rig while reporting a story about scientific research happening on it last year. Every inch of it was painted in bright, super-saturated colors – except for the corrosion and rust that ebbed away at the edges or streaked down panels. The colors in the kits are directly inspired by this intense setting, where sun and sea make are an unyielding presence that greets and influences whatever humans build.

Hey there friend!

Do you remember that cute hat pattern that we included in our Advent Box last year?

It’s called the Holly Beanie and it was designed specifically for the box by my awesome friend Sarah Gross. (Psssst.. she also designed the Snow Days Beanie which I know you all love!)

Well I have a HUGE announcement to make:

Sarah has officially joined out team! Not only is she an amazing designer, she’s also an incredibly talented photographer and I feel so privileged to have her creating photos and videos that we can share all over social media!

That means that if you’ve been playing the “whose hands are knitting” game on our Instagram, there is now another set of hands to guess…
Is it Dawn’s hands? Katie’s? Or Sarah’s?
It’s getting harder to tell. ????

To celebrate Sarah joining our team, we’re hosting a knit-along for her newest design, the Holly Beanie!!

And we certainly couldn’t have a knit-along without discounts and prizes!

So, to kick things off, today and tomorrow ONLY grab the knit-along kit and get a FREE pom pom!

The kit includes everything you need to knit the Holly Beanie (just add the needles!):
– Holly Beanie PDF pattern
– 1 Ball Everyday Merino Superwash wool yarn (in your choice of color)
– 1 set Shortie Bamboo Cable needles
– 1 faux fur pom pom (in your choice of color)

We’ll whisk your kit off to you right away so that it will be in your hot little hands in time for our Cast On Party on February 19th.

Welcome to the mystery knit-along that’s most sensational, celebrational, and inspirational! This year’s Lyrical Knits MKAL celebrates all things Muppets — from Miss Piggy to the heckling Statler and Waldorf. The pattern is for a rectangular shawl with several different stitch patterns and a fun twist to the construction at the end.

It’s worked up in fingering-weight yarn with one main color and six mini skeins for contrasting colors, though you can certainly do it with fewer contrasting colors.

The first clue drops on March 1st, and those purchasing the pattern during the preorder period will receive a discount as well as a planning sheet with more info on the yarn and color requirements.
