New Pebble Island Kits for Fall!

It's time to start casting on those fall projects and we have a couple of ideas to get your engines rolling!


Cherry Fizz, designed by Kate Atherley is an adictive and rhythmic knit.


An easy way to get started with stranded colourwork: this hat is designed specifically as a skill-builder. The stitch patterns are easy to work and easy to remember, and the small pattern repeats help you keep your tension nice and even. As long as you know how to work in the round, you’re good to go!


Cherry Fizz works up especially well in Rowan Pebble Island. Theses lovely hues make for an amazingly warm double thick hat!

Rowan Pebble Island is a worsted wt yarn sourced from Pebble Island.


Located in the Falkland Islands archipelago, Pebble Island is a place where sheep roam the landscape & agate stones dot the shoreline. The Pebble Island based herd of Polwarth Merino sheep produce velvety soft, 21.5 micron wool. The wool is then spun into this beautiful heavy DK/light worsted yarn in Yorkshire, England.



The yarn is wonderful for color work sweaters & accessories, classic cables & warm home accents. Choose from the palette of colors inspired by the indigenous flora & fauna of Pebble Island.


This yarn is fully traceable, responsibly farmed, and 100% pure. This exceptional yarn is natural, renewable, biodegradable, breathable, hypoallergenic, resilient and elastic, making it comfortable both to knit with and to wear.


For the full collection of colors on hand visit the shop for a squish and try on our hat sample, or, visit the website here for Cherry Fizz kits or see individual skeins here!

Something in Crochet you say?

IMG_0312_medium2 image

Colorwork in Crochet is just as fun! The Amethyst Beanie would look amazing in Rowan Pebble Island, again - just 2 skeins, one of each color is all it takes.


While the top of the Cherry Fizz is so cute we don't suggest a pom, Amythyst Beanie would look fabulous topped with a Pom. Choose from this selection of Natural Toft Poms or Colorful Toft Poms, Fur Real Faux Poms, or make your own yarn pom using our favorite Clover Pom Pom Maker!!

North_Country_Mitts image

Round out your Pebble Island Hat with a pair of Fingerless Mitts!


We suggest the North Country Mitts - designed by Andrea Mowry! Only one skein of yarn for these lovelies!

Accessorize that Crochet Hat with these sweet California Dreaming Fingerless Mitts - only one skein, you can find the kit here!

Coming up with Machine Knitting!

IMG_1537 image

Machine Knitting Garment Skills Series kicks off August 26th!


The focus of these classes is on techniques and not on a finished garment. However, this series of classes is designed to give you the skills to knit your first garment.



The first session will show you how to make a proper machine knitting swatch to determine your gauge and use that information to adjust any pattern schematic to your gauge. Students will knit a gauge swatch and a garment sample using their gauge calculation. This sample can be used for the next class.


The following sessions include Necklines and Basic Shaping and Neckbands and Finishing. Select one or all the classes to take your machine knitting skills to the next level!

Sara is teaching Intro to Harness Weaving in September -
