Yarns on First
We are thrilled to announce the arrival of Erika Knight's Studio Linen to the shop. Crafted in Italy this DK weight yarn is cool to the touch, and has a delicate drape making it a  perfect yarn for summer. It is made from 85% recycled rayon-linen fiber, expertly blended with 15% natural linen. The palette is elegant and refined, with a subtle sheen and clear stitch definition. The pattern collection is full of graceful, chic pieces you'll reach for again and again.


Ravello, a sleeveless tunic with longer back hem. So simple, yet so wearable!

Siena, a deceptively simple short-sleeved top knitted in stockinette stitch with a subtle sheer yoke. Lovely!
Palermo, a short sleeve cardigan with beautiful, sophisticated details.
Taormina
, a three quarter sleeved sweater, knit in a four-row lace stitch pattern with a flattering neckline. Unique and luxurious.
Isager Tweed

Isager has long been one of our favorite companies. Their yarn is exquisitely made, with a beautiful, coordinating color palette. We were immediately smitten with their Tweed line.  Spun in Ireland, Tweed is a fingering weight single ply blend of 70% wool and 30% mohair. We love the rustic quality of this yarn, with it's subtle flecks of color and faint halo. While it's sturdy nature make it a natural for sweaters, this yarn is also perfect for accessories of all kind. 

After much deliberation, we decided to knit this fabulous hat, designed by Jared Flood. We love the traditional colorwork, paired with a more modern hat shape. Perfect with the complimentary palette of Isager Tweed!

We have had our eye on this gorgeous scarf from Churchmouse since it's publication a few years back. We love the pairing of the traditional Shetland lace and rustic Irish tweed yarn. This pattern is also available as a shawl!
This is is such a beautiful sweater! Part of the Island collection, Grace is both timeless and effortless. It's simplicity would compliment the depth of Isager Tweed perfectly.
