Wrap yourself in luxury with the ‘Mint 2 B’ shawl, a stunning crochet creation by Wanitta Belleh of

This triangular shawl features a delightful interplay between our Solo Fi*****ng (100% merino single ply) base and Plume (25% silk, 75% cashmere) base, held together to create a fabric that is luxurious, light, and has gorgeous drape.

Wanitta’s color combination of “Ice, Ice…” (a light, icy blue) for the Solo Fi*****ng and “Mint Condition” (a soft mint green) for the Plume creates a subtle iridescent marl effect, with the cashmere in the Plume adding an “icy haze” that complements the cool colorways beautifully.

Inspired? We’ve got you covered!

We’ve put together a collection of fun colorway kits to jumpstart your Mint2B project and spark your creativity. Each kit features perfectly paired Solo Fi*****ng and Plume colors to help you achieve a stunning, luxurious and totally ‘squishable’ shawl.

A new pattern from the brilliant mind of

This stunning sweater boasts a mesmerizing colorwork yoke that fades into a captivating floral design, like a field of windflowers dancing in the spring breeze. The intricate stranded colorwork is pure magic, whispering tales of wildflower meadows as you knit.

Made with our luxuriously soft Swanky Sock base, it’s light and airy, perfect for those in-between seasons. Zanete used Stagbunny as the main color, which created the perfect canvas for her floral masterpiece. Then, she threw in some moody blues using Voices Carry and Siren’s Song, to create a lovely gradient that fades down the yoke.

To make it easy, we’ve curated some gorgeous colorway kits that are perfect for bringing your Windflower Sweater to life. We have a variety of options, so there’s a perfect match waiting for every Magpie Maker out there!

Don’t miss out – let your Windflower bloom. (Sorry we are suckers for a bad pun 🙃)

Our hearts are heavy as we say goodbye to our OG Magpie, Kam, Dami’s beloved Great Pyrenees. At the wise old age of 13, she passed peacefully basking in the sun. ☀️
Kam wasn’t just a pet, she was a cherished member of the Magpie family and she was a familiar furry face to many of you early Magpie Makers. We’ll miss her endless supply of fur tumbleweeds, her love for the finer things (we’ve never met a dog with bougier taste buds), and that sassy attitude that kept us all on our toes.
We’re all incredibly sad, but incredibly grateful for the joy and love Kam brought to our lives. She lived a full and happy life, spoiled rotten (as any good pup deserves!), and her memory will forever hold a paw print in our hearts. ❤️🐾

🌙✨SEASON OF THE WITCH✨🌙

Originally intended for as an exclusive colorway for Wool & Folk, but after the utter insanity that ensued, we wanted to make it availble to everyone to purchase for a limited time. Get her while you can....dont wory no insane crowds this time.

To our newsletter subscribers, keep an eye on your inboxes for a newsletter from us. We have updates to share and information on and ask the vendors we hope you’ll support this weekend.

10/23/2023

We want to address the unfortunate events that transpired at this year's Wool & Folk festival. As sponsors of the event, we are deeply disheartened and upset by the events that unfolded which did not align with the promises made to both vendors and customers alike.

We sponsored the Wool & Folk event with the genuine expectation that it would uphold the standards and quality reminiscent of the previous shows we had supported. Sponsoring events like this is a large investment, but one we think is important as we believe in supporting and creating community. Shows like this are meant to be places where people can come together, share their excitement about yarn, meet friends and make new connections. Unfortunately, we were left shocked and embarrassed. We found ourselves, along with fellow vendors, being treated poorly, with a complete lack of communication and being persistently ignored. We want to make it clear that being sponsors did not afford us any further insight into the “organization” or “planning” of the event. We were fortunate enough to have showed up on Wednesday and were placed in an indoor booth, albeit smaller than we had paid for and with the bathroom inside of it. We were horrified when we realized all the vendors were not inside as we had expected. The chaos of setup was like nothing we’d ever seen in all our years of vending.

And then we witnessed the experiences of those with accessibility needs, which added to our deep disappointment with the overall event. The complete lack of consideration for even basic accessibility was completely inexcusable. Hearing from so many people who couldn’t even get in is beyond upsetting. Accessibility MATTERS and we are so very sorry that this event was not. Misleading vendors and attendees is unacceptable. Full stop. We believe that it is imperative to create an environment that is safe and welcoming for all makers!
✨Continued in comments…

✨From the Vault!!! ✨ While we were creating & curating the color palette for our new, lovely Quartet Fi*****ng base…we kept coming back to some of our past colors that had been discontinued. Seeing those colors brought back to life in the pots and on the skeins made all us Magpies super nostalgic, and well, we just couldn’t help ourselves so…they are back in the line up! They are currently available in Swanky Sock, Swanky DK & the Quartet Family.

Hoping to see them on more bases??? Make your requests in the comments so the studio can’t ignore them 😅😂!
