Quick-to-Knit Accessories!

When Fall is here and the cooler weather is upon us, I start craving an “instant gratification” project – something I can whip up in no time to welcome my favorite season in style. Of course, late summer/early autumn is also when a lot of knitters start counting the weeks (or knitting hours) left until holiday presents are due… Let’s get started!

Whether you’re getting started on your holiday projects or looking for a quick fix, our Norumbega Yarn (previously known as Botanica) is sure to satisfy any knitter’s wool craving. This Aran weight yarn is made from 100% American wool, spun right here in Maine. A cold weather favorite for over 35 years – now with a brand spankin’ new collection of patterns! These accessories knit up quickly, and you’ll love the squishy coziness they’ll provide for years to come.

The Whale Watch Beanies feature an easy twisted stockinette stitch pattern for subtle all over texture. One skein of Norumbega Yarn is all you need to make one of these slouchy hats. Worked seamlessly in the round.
