Abloom Cardigan | Anne Ginger | Biches & Bûches Le Petit Lambswool
Abloom is the perfect layering piece for transitional seasons, designed to be lightweight yet still cosy enough to ward off the early morning or evening chill.
Inspired by the delicate beauty of spring and the early flowers, small and ethereal, almost wispy, the rib nature of the stitch pattern allows the fabric to move with the body, thus fitting a wide range of body sizes.
For this cardigan, we're bringing back Biches et Bûches Le Petit Lambswool, a 100% Scottish lambswool yarn that's delightful to knit and wear.
We've added five shades that would all work beautifully for Abloom - and hopefully with everything in your wardrobe! Get your Abloom Cardigan Kit here.
Bouquet Sweater | Maria Magnusson | The Fibre Co. Cumbria
Bouquet is the kind of sweater that's effortless to wear and works with everything, and also gets compliments left, right and center.
It's central lace motif, inspired by the blooming flower beds in the designer's garden, is worked up in a heavier-than-usual-yarn for lace patterns, making it a rhythmic, enjoyable knit.
I am so delighted that we get to add The Fibre Co.'s Cumbriato our yarn lineup for this release!
Cumbria is a classic, worsted-weight yarn that knits up with a lovely crisp stitch definition and next-to-skin softness. It combines South American Merino for softness, English Masham wool for warmth, and Argentinian Mohair for lustre and strength.
A great yarn for everyday knitwear that you want to last a long, long time! Get your Bouquet Sweater Kit here.
Circle of Life Sweater | Julia Exner | Holst Garn Supersoft
Circle of Life is inspired by life awakening again in the spring - the first tips of the hyacinths breaking out of the ground, the buds on the trees getting bigger and bigger.
The comfortable circular yoke sweater features stranded colorwork, Roosimine, and lace, with each section of the yoke representing one stage in the life of a plant.
We're so delighted that we're able to add Holst Garn to our products, starting with their super star Supersoft!
Supersoft is a classic non-superwash yarn that's perfect for colorwork. It's a blend of 50% Merino and 50% Shetland, making it both soft and durable. Hold it single for a delicate fabric or double to create a DK-weight yarn.
For Circle of Life, we've put together two kits: one in the original sample colors,and one - as requested by our subscriber flock - in cool blue tones. Get your Circle of Life Sweater Kit here!
Etamine Sweater | Emma Ducher | De Rerum Natura Ulysse
Worked from the top-down, you start with a comfortable folded neckline before moving on to short rows to shape the neck.
The colorwork yoke is worked with increases and decreases to create the flower petals.
One of our all-time favorite (and desert island) yarns, De Rerum Natura's Ulysse is an incredibly soft woollen-spun yarn that shows texture and colorwork off beautifully.
For Etamine, we've put together kits in the original sample colors. We've also just gotten a big restock of Ulysse, so if you prefer a different color combination, play away!
Floret Socks | Makenzie Alvarez | Wool & Palette Fingering
The Floret socks are destined to become a stand-out pair in your sock drawer!
Inspired by the awakening of nature from its winter slumber, they feature a bloom-like lace pattern near the cuff, followed by a repeating faux cable along the top of the foot.
For this kit, we've added a really special yarn: Wool & Palette's Fingering weight.
It's a buttery-soft Merino Rambouillet blend entirely sourced and spun in the US.
Hand-dyed by Emily in her studio with only natural extracts and foraged or home-grown dye materials, it's not only beautiful to knit with, but also to look at - and something extra special!
Get your Floret Socks Kit - available in two colors - here.
Flowers & Fields Shawl | Natalia Milas | Garthenor Organic Beacons
Inspired by fields that are just starting to bloom, this shawl is worked up from the tip until it reaches a very wearable asymmetrical triangular shape.
Flowers & Fields is designed for one of my all-time favorite yarns, Garthenor Organic Beacons,and I am so happy we got our hands on a few more colors to put together these kits!
Beacons is a blend of Polwarth, Romney and Hebridean transformed into a worsted-spun DK weight yarn. Get your Flowers & Fields Shawl Kit here.

How to get started with spinning
Spinning yarn can seem a daunting craft, requiring arcane tools and techniques, but the fundamentals are simple. It is about adding twist to fibre, which gives it the strength to not pull apart. Most preparations of fibre will require drafting – that is, continuously pulling the fibre so fewer strands (or staples) are twisted together to make a thinner yarn. Drafting and adding twist are all that are needed to make yarn.
You might hear about woollen and worsted spinning, and the long- and short-draw methods associated with them. While interesting, and good to understand when improving your skills, the beginner spinner doesn’t need to worry overmuch about these terms.
We’re going to look at the tools and fibre you’ll need before you start spinning yarn.
What’s the difference between combed top, roving, batts and rolags?
Learning to spin yarn comes with a huge array of new jargon, and a lot of these terms relate to how the fibre is prepared. Whether animal or plant fibre, there is a variety of ways it can be processed from raw material into something you can spin into yarn.
We’re going to look at some of the common formats available to hand spinners, what their characteristics are and the kind of spinning techniques they’re suitable for.
6 Joyful Spring Knitting Patterns - My Current Favorites!
Hi lovelies! Spring has sprung here in Berlin – as I am typing this (mid March), the buds on the chestnut tree out the window are a few days away from bursting, the forsythias are in full bloom, and our strawberry plants have started their comeback as well (leaves so far, but Aurin checks every day for berries :)).
So it's no surprise at all that today's blog post is very much inspired by the sun and the warmer days to come! I have put together a sweet roundup of 6 joyful spring knitting patterns, all of which I'd love to have on my needles soon. (If someone can get me an extra day or two per week to knit (oh, and to spin), I'd love that!)
The three yarns I've paired them with are my favorite spring / summer yarns: De Rerum Natura's Antigone, a delightful sport-weight linen yarn, Wooldreamers' Saona, a 50% Spanish cotton, 50% Spanish wool blend, and Natissea's Pernelle, our newest spring yarn: A 100% European hemp yarn!
