For over 35 years, our unique Aran weight 2-ply yarn has provided us with warm, cozy sweaters that still look good after years of wear.  The tight, pearly twist of Norumbega Yarn (previously known as Botanica) makes it impervious to pilling, and this Maine-made yarn is an excellent choice for hard-wearing sweaters and cold weather 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!

Get ready for handmade holiday giving! The [Sorry, item discontinued or temporarily out of stock] issue is stuffed full of 25 accessory and toy patterns. Each small but beautiful project uses lovely yarn and thoughtful details to create the perfect gift – even if it’s just a present for yourself :) Mitts, hats and cowls with a Scandinavian flair will get you itching to pick out fun color combinations, while larger shawls worked in dramatic shades will make you yearn to wrap yourself up.

The latest [Sorry, item discontinued or temporarily out of stock] is sure to empower and inspire spinners of all sorts. In this issue, we explore some of the many different ways in which a spinner can be powerful – whether it’s about speed, technical knowledge, or even just the sheer joy you get from practicing the craft.
