Loopy Mango |  Mohair So Soft

Now up in the Haus: Mohair So Soft from Loopy Mango...and we already know it's going to be a favorite! Mohair blended with Merino makes this yarn lightweight, extremely soft, and very warm. Mohair So Soft is a chunky yarn and when paired with size 17 needles helps projects work up quickly. You’ll have a sweater done in no time! 

Along with the yarn itself, a trunk show of Loopy Mango samples arrived as well! Four sweaters, a capelet, a beanie and a wrap. Featured here is the Rhinebeck Cardigan, knit in pieces from the bottom up in a clever (and fun!) raglan design. You’ll knit five pieces in total: a back panel, two front panels, and sleeves (which are knit in the round) before seaming them all together. If you're local, pop in and see these beauties in person!

Coates & Co. Sock Sets: Restocked and we are RE-LIEVED!

We first brought you these Coates & Co. Cottage Sock Mini Skein sets back in early summer and WOW, you folks went nuts for them! It took a minute to get them back in, but ta-da! Just in time for Sock Season (it's a thing!), here's another chance for you to wipe us out.

Each happy little bundle includes five hand-dyed mini skeins of Coates & Co. Cottage Sock, a 4ply fingering weight yarn made from superwash merino wool and nylon. Each color is dyed by hand in small batches in the Coates & Co. dye studio and the colors are layered during the dyeing process to create bright, saturated colorways. Perfect for a pair of fun, multicolor striped socks! Grab a Coates & Co bundle HERE in your absolute favorite combo and create a truly unique pair of socks for yourself! 

 

Cuteness X 10!!! Seriously, It's Math.

Just when we think Peak Cuteness has been reached, someone comes along to prove us wrong! These teensy silicon containers are perfectly sized to pop into your notions pouch. Each style comes with two matching progress markers. 

A progress keeper is a removable stitch marker used in knitting/crocheting to track your progress and mark a place in your work. They can be used for a variety of purposes, including: 

  • Tracking measurements: Progress keepers can help you track how much you've worked in a day or over a period of time
  • Marking a reference point: Progress keepers can be used as a reference point to mark a specific place in your work 
  • Keeping a stitch safe: A progress keeper can be attached to a stitch to keep it from unraveling
  • Marking the right side of your fabric
  • Decorating your project: Progress keepers can be used to decorate your knitting project
