Our dream: By moving towards selling yarn from local-ish, ethically sourced fiber, we hope you bring your sweater a little bit closer (figuratively speaking) to the sheep it came from. (Or alpaca, or goat, or bundle of flax!)
For those about to craft, we salute you.

I love this! I want to make something like it.
This is a little bit clever :0) [I mean a lot clever.]

Elise and I are listed separately on the floor map, but we are both at table G4. Come by to chat comics and yarn!

Hi! I finished knitting this bad boy a couple of years ago, and I didn’t really document it so it’s a bit fuzzy (ha ha.), but the gist is, I did it on 6mm needles with Cascade 220 - each square is +/- 60 stitches, or the appropriate amount to yield an 8”x8” square.
Each color has 6 squares - stocking st, reverse stocking st, seed stitch, 1x1 rib, waffle stitch, cables (different sizes/types for each color) and 1 square using a fun pattern from one of my pattern books.
It was 2 skeins per color and about 4 for the border, which is all seed stitch and stocking with the quilt colors woven through in a running stitch. (I knit it over the course of three years and it didn’t seem like that much yarn at the time)
People seem to be quite interested so I will try to do up a proper pattern! :)
Wildflower Blanket - One of my current WIP’s. Using all unique hand-dyed wool from different sources, handspun into a three-ply and crocheted to create a cozy portable garden.
Some of my wool sources included Beesybee, Fiberstory, and Two Sisters Stringworks.
Freshly dyed - cooling on the window sill.
Neon-dyed handspun skeins - drying in the sun.
One of my favorite projects that I’ve made - I knitted this out of Cascade 220 in order to teach myself different stitch patterns and techniques when I was first learning.

omg
I need this book. Pretty sure this is my favorite book.
There really is a mystery series for everything.
Must read!!
