Head over to see us for Local Yarn Shop Day on Saturday, April 29th!

A great day to support your Local Yarn Store, and for us a day to thank you for your continued support of our beautiful shop here in Orono.

Our friends at Koigu have created some yarn collections that will only be available at participating yarn shops.

The pencil boxes and paint cans each have a free pattern included with the purchase, and we are frantically knitting samples to show off next week!

Andrea Mowry has done it again! Look at this beautiful DRK Everyday Cowl!

I have to say I love making this pattern.

I had the darker Jasmine Dk by Koigu wool already wound up for another project. I decided that this would be a better way of using the yarn, since it was a shop sample I decided to add the second colour later, it gives you the opportunity of seeing the design as a solid and a stripe.

I estimated where to start the second colour and was a bit worried I would run out of the first before I finished. (But there would be a plan?)

It takes, one full 100 gram ball of the main colour and 25 grams of the contrast to make this version.

Jasmine Dk is beautiful to use, the yarn is soft has a good structure, plus the colours are amazing.
