We always love to see what you\u2019re making with HYS yarns, and I love to take photos of\u00a0your\u00a0beautiful finished pieces\u00a0to share here on the blog. I have a nice\u00a0collection to share at the moment, enough for two blog posts. Today’s group all happen to be made in the same wonderful yarn: Swans Island All American Worsted<\/a>, an aran weight blend of US-sourced Rambouillet wool and alpaca.<\/p>\n

Emily came into the shop last week wearing her newly-completed\u00a0“Halyard,”<\/a>\u00a0by Norah Gaughan, which she knit using 6 skeins of All American Worsted in a deep, saturated cobalt shade called “Newport.” She lengthened the sleeves from 3\/4 length to full length for\u00a0a cozy winter pullover.<\/p>\n

I knit a sweater in All American Worsted recently, too. Here I am in my “Docklight,”<\/a> by Julie Hoover. If you’ve been to the shop in the past month or two, you’ve probably seen me in it, as it’s become a\u00a0favorite winter sweater. I’m thrilled with how it came out, and impressed with how the yarn is wearing. I used 6 skeins in “Frost,” a light\u00a0blue-gray.<\/p>\n

Nancy knit this “Hourglass Throw”<\/a> by Anne Hanson using 8 skeins of All American Worsted in a warm brown shade called “Driftwood.” The light color really shows off Hanson’s intricate cable and lace design. This was Nancy’s\u00a0first time knitting cables, and they are expertly rendered. Well done!\"photo<\/a><\/p>\n
