It's a perfect yarn for Ainur Berkimbayeva's Jariq Shawl, which was specifically designed as a smooth, soothing knitting experience: no charts to follow, no complex shaping to keep track of...just an easily memorized stitch repeat that you can knit to almost any size. This triangular shawl is worked sideways - starting from the right tip and ending with the left tip - and allows you to easily customize the size based on the amount of yarn you have. Rin used three skeins of Alpaca DK for the oversized version seen above, but Yak DK is a perfect substitute if you'd prefer a jewel-toned version! We have this sample in the shop and the photos really don't do it justice...it's stunning.

Back by Popular Demand: Sheep Notes!
We debuted our custom-designed Sheep Notes two years ago and they sold out so quick, we almost forgot we ever had them! But we remembered this year and had a healthy new batch printed up. So get those quill pens out, y'all. You've got notes to write.
Designed specifically for Haus by our friend Jeff McMillen in Memphis, these folded cards feature a fluffy ewe recognizing a kindred spirit floating in the sky above her (or is it the other way around?).
Folded card size is 4¼” x 5½”. The interior is blank, so they make great “anytime” cards: birthdays, thank yous, or whenever just a simple “Hello, friend” is required. Set of 6, white envelopes included.
