Brooklyn Tweed Trunk Show!
From now through December 16th, we're hosting a beautiful Brooklyn Tweed trunk show...this one's made up of gorgeous accessories! Stop by the shop to see the collection firsthand - and we've got loads of Brooklyn Tweed yarn in stock, so you can start knitting ASAP! There are thirteen samples at which to make heart eyes! Pictured, a few of our favorites:
• The Shackleton scarf, knit in Shelter, held double. Requires 10 skeins
• Knoll mitts, knit in Loft, held double. Requires 1 skein (uses almost an entire skein; you may wish to purchase an additional skein to account for slight variance in yardage use)
• The Thicket hat, knit in Shelter. Requires 2 skeins
Hanukkah is here already and Christmas is just weeks away, but you still have time for a fun, fast & easy handmade holiday! This super cute hat is knit from just ONE skein of Ushya from Mirasol. Using big ol' US sized 13 & 15 needles, this project practically comes together before you can watch more than two Hallmark Christmas movies!
Ushya is unbelievably lightweight, soft, and warm; the yarn is chain-plied and is perfect for on-trend bulky accessories without too much added weight. We love the maker of this yarn; Peruvian-made Mirasol benefits The Mirasol Project, which strives to better the lives of Peruvian shepherds through building and supporting schools.
