Brooklyn Tweed Holiday 18 Trunk Show!

We are delighted to announce that a new trunk show from Brooklyn Tweed is here to spend a couple of weeks at our shop. Come by before July 21 to see garments and accessories from the BT Holiday 18 collection!

The forward-thinking among you may already be planning your holiday gift-knitting. Knitting takes time, after all, so if you plan to give richly textured hats and socks like these in the wintertime, it makes good sense to begin your stitching in the summertime.

As a devoted lover of colorwork, I am particularly taken with Jared Flood’s “Galloway Hat,” which features motifs from his popular “Galloway” cardigan. The pattern offers options for different lengths and brim styles, pom poms, and of course there are nearly infinite color combinations – it’s always fun to see how different the same patterns can look in new sets of colors!

Some of our favorite Brooklyn Tweed yarns are represented in this collection: Peerie, Shelter, and Quarry. Though most of the projects are small, there are two larger pieces, Emily Greene’s “Refract” wrap and Leila Raabe’s now-classic “Stasis.”

This trunk show arrived during our Annual Inventory Sale month, so all the yarns featured here are 15% off, along with everything else we have in stock. We’re closed today, Thursday, July 4th, but will reopen at our regular business hours on Friday, July 5th. Come by soon to see this collection and plan your next project!

Just a reminder–all sales are final on discounted items; there can be no exchanges, returns, or special orders. Thanks!

Kelbourne Woolens Building Blocks Collection Trunk Show!

We’re so excited to announce that we’ve just received a Trunk Show featuring Kelbourne Woolens Germantown. Come by the shop to see accessories from the Building Blocks Collection!

Germantown is a North American sourced yarn with a story to tell, a recreation of a classic wool that had been produced in Germantown, Pennsylvania, under a few different brand names since the mid-to-late 19th century.

The Building Blocks Collection consists of three basic patterns: a hat, a scarf, and mittens. Each one has three variations, taking knitters from the simplest stitches to more complicated patterns, one step at a time. I can see one of these patterns as a great gift for a new knitter, along with a few skeins of Germantown.

It’s great to finally touch knitted fabric made with Germantown, as Anne and I have admired it since its October release but frankly, haven’t had time to cast on and work with it ourselves.

Come by the shop to see the show, and get 10% off KW Germantown while you’re at it!
