This is my new favorite piece of knitwear: Cornus by 🤍

The pattern was released on Ravelry today!

I used my Organic Merino Worsted to knit it and it’s cozy, soft, and I LOVE the color work! I wear it underneath my jacket all the time (swipe to see) and I often keep wearing it when I get back home because it’s just so nice and warm.

There’s an option in the pattern to make just the cowl part if you’d rather do that. Have a lovely weekend you guys!

⭐️ Shawl kit ⭐️

I had a customer buy yarn for the Satellite shawl by Andrea Mowry - it looks very cozy and like a fun knit - so I decided to put a shawl kit in my Etsy shop!

The main color is a light grey CA grown climate beneficial Rambouillet fi*****ng weight yarn. The contrast colors are mohair/silk yarn. It’s gonna make a wonderful shawl!

Hey Humboldt folks, I’m gonna be at the Arcata farmers market on Saturday!

I will bring all my naturally dyed yarn + some Galentine’s day gift bags with yarn and other fun treats!

It looks like it’s gonna be another gorgeous day☀️☀️☀️ come hang out!!

I was working on a secret test knit last year! The pattern is finally out, Wind Whistles by and it’s a beautiful brioche sweater. I love the details and the softness of the fabric!

I used my Cloud yarn base which is brushed alpaca/silk, held together with a 80% merino / 20% silk lace weigh yarn. The fabric turned out soo good👌🏻

This was my Christmas gift for my husband and it’s been a success🥰

If you’re looking for a luxurious everyday brioche sweater this is it!

New date!🧶

Due to the Covid situation I postponed this workshop, and I got a new date confirmed with Septentrio!

I’ve been knitting lots of hats lately and this is one of them, Algae by Marie Amelie. I love this cute pattern!

Hats are such fun and quick knits, and it’s always good to have hats to chose from right? This one calls for fi*****ng weight yarn and I used my Organic Merino Singles and a combo of Cloud and a lace weight merino/silk yarn that I had leftover from a sweater.

What are you knitting right now?

AnadaYarns added a Shop on Website button to their Page.

I posted some fluffy yarns in my Etsy shop☁️☁️☁️

I’m offering both mohair with an alluring sheen and brushed suri alpaca (pictured) that is distractingly soft - while knitting I find myself petting the fabric I created and have to remind myself to start knitting again lol.

If you haven’t tried it I highly recommend you do, I have some pattern recommendations in the description if you’re wondering which type of project you could use it for🧣

Hey ya’ll it’s WIP Wednesday!

This work in progress is a stunning sweater I am currently test knitting for ★ I just discovered this talented maker and realized I love all her designs. Go check her out people!

🤍 I truly adore this sweater and trying it on makes me wanna finish it yesterday!

I am using my Organic MerinoHemp for this project and for the CC I used some stash fi*****ng yarn held together with Cloud (brushed suri alpaca/silk).

There’s still some of this yarn in the shop but I will be dyeing up some more next week. Let me know if you have any specific colors you’d like to see!

Fluffy yarns☁️☁️☁️
⁠
I'm currently dyeing up more Mohair and Cloud, such great yarns to get some halo to your knits! Or held double to achieve the lightest garments *dreamy*⁠
⁠
I used my mohair yarn held together with Organic Merino/Hemp for some super soft mittlets, and am currently working on a brioche sweater for my husband using Cloud. It is the softest sweater I have knit to date. ⁠
⁠
The deets:⁠
Cloud: 74% Brushed Suri Alpaca⁠
26% Silk⁠
328 yds per 50g⁠
⁠
Mohair: 72% Kid Mohair⁠
28% Silk⁠
459 yds per 50g

I’m excited to share more of these beauties with you!

Remember that beet dye? Here’s the result✨

Hot pink! I put another skein in there too, we’ll see if there’s more dyestuff in there.

Swipe to see more naturally dyed skein, some speckled and another solid one🌈

I’ll be posting some naturally dyed yarn in my Etsy shop soon!

I had a customer ask me what organic wool means, which is an excellent question👌🏻
⁠
All my merino wool is organic so it's important for you to know why you would want to chose to buy it and what you would be supporting.⁠
⁠
There are a lot of differences between organic and conventionally produced wool, and the most general statement to sum it all up is:⁠
⁠
🐑 Organic wool supports more sustainable farming practices and livestock management⁠ 🐑
⁠
These are some of the benefits for the sheep:
- The sheep must have access to the outdoors at all times⁠
- The sheep cannot be dipped (!) in commonly used insecticides, instead the farmer must encourage livestock health through preventative disease management⁠
- A minimum of 120 days of grazing⁠
- Mulesing is (of course) prohibited⁠, as in a lot of wool production. Not only for organic wool.

(Mulesing is the practice of removing strips of wool-bearing skin from around sheep’s buttocks ⁠
to prevent flystrike. Painful⁠ for the sheep.)

I will post more about the benefits of organic wool later, because there’s more🤍 I wish you all a wonderful weekend!

I’ve been working on a test knit over the weekend, these very sweet by ✨they are a fun combination of color work and some Roosimine inspired floats in the front creating the trees.

The pattern calls for unspun yarn held double but I substituted for my Merino/Hemp yarn held together with mohair. It turned out so good! I have a couple ends to weave in and a thumb to make and then I’m ready to wear them. Tis the season!

Half mitts are so perfect for the PNW winters! I’m curious, what’s your favorite winter knitwear?

🤍 Shop update is live!

I’ve added some organic merino to the shop, both worsted weight and fi*****ng single ply✨
Minimally treated and plastic free!

Using my worsted weight yarn you could make this fun cowl pictured, the Serene Seas cowl by the lovely !

Happy Sunday!

(That’s pretty a silly thing to say, I know -who doesn’t need more yarn in their life?! Just me?😂)

Sooo the holidays are coming up real soon..! How is time moving so damn fast? I’m working on a brioche sweater for my husband and it is not a quick moving project, but it’s turning out really lovely. Are you knitting/crocheting/making any holiday gifts this year?

I would so appreciate it if you would help me spread the word by sharing or reposting!🥰

This will be my first shop update in a while (understatement) and there will be some of these organic merino mini-skein kits, as well as full skeins and some kits. I’m so excited!!🌈✨🧶

I am very grateful for all of you that have supported my little business these last few months by buying yarn, discussing fiber and projects with me, giving me feedback on how you like the yarn -invaluable- and by interacting with me here.
🤍Thank you!🤍

I’ll be at the sidewalk sale today until 4! Right across from Eureka books. Come say hi!

I got some naturally dyed yarn, some organic merino -both fi*****ng and worsted- and holiday gifts already to go!
