Small projects are my jam right now... I'm not sure what it is, but I'm really feeling the need for some quick wins! Maybe because it's STILL winter here in SK... we just got another snow storm on Wednesday!

Anyway, has just released her newest 1 skein pattern - the Newcastle Cowl into the world, and I think it would be the perfect cast on for this seasonal transition! She's made versions for a single skein of fi*****ng and DK weights, as well as the cutest striped version to use with minis or some leftovers from other projects... we always love the thought and care she puts into her patterns, to help us pare down our stashes & showcase that special skein you've been saving!

The Newcastle Cowl is on Ravelry now, and is 50% off until Monday, April 13th. Make sure to check it out, give it some love, and let us know what yarn you have that would be a perfect pairing!

Remember back in the 80's & early 90's when one of the best toys was a Lite Brite?? I do... it was one of my favourites! Breaking into a new pack of black construction paper full of potential, armed with a container full of pointy little pegs... fun was had for hours!!

Our brand new speckle is our fibre version of that. A new yarn, full of potential and excitement! Will it be socks? A hat? A baby sweater?? It can be literally anything, and just like my classic Lite Brite creations, it is meant to be shown off, and oohed over when it's all done its transformation!

Lite Brite happens to be our Colour of the Month, which means you can grab yourself some for 15% off until Thursday, April 16! The discount will automatically be added to your cart. :)

Ever wonder what our yarn looks like before it gets to you? This is it - here they are in their natural state, before Tara and I get to add their layers of colour.

From ultra-soft and squishy, to warm & fuzzy, and then to flowy & drape-y... Each base takes dye in its own way, which means no two skeins are ever quite the same. It is so much fun in the dye studio to see how the dye takes to each base!

Each of our bases have been dyed, tested, knit, crocheted, and frogged to before we add it to our lineup - we want to know everything about it before we commit - so how it holds colour, it's texture, and how feels in your hands & in your project is so important!

We’re curious…
If you could only choose ONE base to knit with forever, which would it be? (mine is our Light Linen Merino, but don't tell the others!!)

(And if you don’t know yet—tell us what you like to make and we’ll help you pick) ;)

I was packaging up an order yesterday and while I was looking at these together, I was thinking how neat it was that these were all the same colour (Sangria), just dyed on a different base. Our formula / recipe stays the same. And yet, they all come out with their own individual look.

The fuzzy one in front is our Meringue Mohair. You can see how the silk takes the dye a bit more vibrantly, and the mohair halo is muted.

The Light Linen Merino base (middle) is a single ply and takes the dye beautifully. We love how the linen content resists the dye and stays white - giving the yarn a heathered look when worked into a project.

And in the back is our classic Light Sock, a blend of merino and nylon. It’s our standard dye look - tonal, saturated and vibrant!

We just thought it was fun to see the differences side by side!

Lychee is the most perfect coral-red ever, as far as we are concerned anyway! We love it so much that we’ve made it our Colour of the Month!

Sometimes, the best knits are the simple ones. The Sea Salt fingerless mitts (by ) are a basic design, knit in stockinette with rolled edges, and perfect for all kinds of yarn, from subtle tonals to chaotic speckles & variegations.

This pattern is best for the days when you just need a mindless knit to keep your fingers busy, and the days after that when you just need a simple accessory to keep your hands warm.

Teresa knit her sample with City of Bridges in our Light Sock base. You can get a copy of her pattern on Ravelry, or a free version on her blog! Make sure to check out her IG page for links!

Hey crocheters! We just put up a few of the cutest crochet themed project bags in our shop! We know that most themed fabrics are knitting related so when I spied this fabric, I grabbed some up (and then was sad I didn’t get more!).

These ones are a medium size, made with cotton and squishy interfacing to make them sturdy and protective of your project inside!

Remember the gorgeous Brianna knit cowl designed by .twist.designs we showed in October?! Here it is again - but in it’s equally gorgeous crochet form!

The Satarah Bandana Cowl combines beautiful Moss Stitch (aka Linen Stitch) with an eye-catching Harvest Stitch fade band, using a solid for the main, and minis for the contrast! It uses sock weight yarn, so it’s perfect for every season - and perfect do all those stashed minis we know you have!!

Head over to .twist.designs and follow her links to get your pattern to make your own!

This sweater is what my dreams are made of! Lace, cables, v-neck, DK weight... it checks ALL my boxes in what I search for in a sweater!
and.pine.designs created this stunning sweater using our Comfort Sport/DK base in Green Gables. Both Tara and I are trying to decide what colour we want to do ours in... I'm pretty settled on Lychee for me, but Tara is still unsure. Suggestions? What would you make yours with?

You can grab your copy of Soft Current on Ravelry, or the Wool & Pine website for 30% off until the end of the day! And if you are a newsletter subscriber of ours, there might be a little something included for you for the yarn! ;)
