Is it the perfect color combo, the classic style, the cheerful pom pom…? Whatever it is, we’re smitten with the Skyline Slouch hat in Blue Sky Eco-Cashmere. This fun and luxurious kit is the first feature in our Seven Days of Solstice Specials – so it’s your lucky day!

[Sorry, item discontinued or temporarily out of stock] is everything you need to make a gradient shawl in one handy package! These kits includes six super-cute mini skeins of fingering weight cotton and a free shawl pattern that offers both a knitted and crocheted version. Whether you choose to make the included project or not, you’ll love how soft this 100% cotton yarn is. We made the knitted version here at the shop, and it was a blast to see it work up!

Attention, everyone!  There’s a new yarn on the block that will make you rethink everything you know about working with cotton: Cumulus Cotton by Juniper Moon Farm Yarn.  Cumulus is a magical Aran weight cotton chainette yarn with a nylon binder for added strength. I fell in love at first squish with this incredibly soft and lightweight chainette yarn – but just wait until you see (and feel) how it knits up…

Italian yarn company Katia has long been known for their unique yarns and modern European designs. We’ve recently gotten very excited about two very special yarns from Katia: Katia Cotton-Merino Yarn and Katia Air Lux Yarn. Initially drawn to their intriguing appearance and uncommon chain construction, we quickly realized there’s more to these yarns than just a pretty face. After making a few things (and reading Clara Parkes’ great in-depth “Knitter’s Review” of Katia Cotton-Merino), we can’t get enough – so now we’re bringing you new colors in these yummy yarns…

Air Lux by Katia

In the deepest doldrums of winter, we could all use a sparkling pick-me-up. That’s why I’m so excited to tell you about Katia Air Lux Yarn! This unique fingering weight viscose/wool yarn knits and weaves like liquid metal – but with the fuzzy softness of its woolen halo, this glimmering metallic yarn maintains a subtlety that keeps it versatile. Air Lux is great for any lightweight yarn project, from accessories to sweaters or woven wraps.

Katia Air Lux Yarn is super soft to begin with, but we noticed that it gets even silkier after blocking – and that goes for woven stuff too. This yarn is 70% viscose (that’s the shiny part) and 40% extrafine virgin merino wool. In person, each shade of this yarn sports an alluring fuzzy halo. Not enough to compare it to, say, mohair, but enough to take the edge off the metallic sheen of the viscose. This unique texture makes for beautiful open stitch work like lace and eyelets, but also serves to add depth and interest to solid stockinette fabric.
