BlackCatBags!

If you've ever shopped with us in person, you may have noticed the awesome assortment of BlackCatBags project bags, all impeccably sewn in gorgeous fabrics.  What you may not know is that our very own Vicki (with no e!) is the maker! 

Each Dopp-style bag is individually cut and sewn, so specific fabric placement, zipper color, and canvas lining color may vary. Box bags measure approximately 10"x5"x5"

Ricorumi Spin Spin DK Restock!

The number one question in the shop these days is "do you have a suggestion for a good travel-sized project?" WELL TA-DA!

Spin Spin is a DK weight cotton, perfectly sized for a single facecloth/dishcloth at 125 yards/cake. Knit this iconic cloth from corner to corner in garter stitch by using some simple increases and decreases. All colors in the line are color gradients - some are tone-on-tone, while others contain multiple colors within the same ball. 

Shop Ricorumi Spin Spin HERE! One cake will yield one cloth and the pattern is included with any Spin Spin purchase.

Bonnie Tee + Chai

Sadly, one of our favorite yarns has been discontinued -- but we still have enough for you to make one of our favorite sweaters!

Chai from Berroco is a DK weight yarn made with a blend of 56% linen and 44% silk. Since the two fibers absorb the dye differently, the resulting fabric has a slightly stonewashed look with a tiny bit of sheen, and the linen gives it a perfect summery drape. 

We love the everyday wearability of the Bonnie Tee, which has an elegant lace motif that begins at the neck edge and then trails into the bodice. We love the layering possibilities! 

Shop Chai HERE (while it lasts!). The pattern is available for purchase HERE!
