We’ve brought back Harrisville to space! We are so excited to work with this American yarn company and mill to bring you some US-sourced and spun yarns. Today we received Nightshades! This DK weight, 3-ply woolen spun is a blend of American Cormo and wool. It comes in 12 incredible shades of black. Yes, TWELVE SHADES OF BLACK, marled with just a touch of color – purple, blue, green, pink and more!

This #MustMakeMonday, we couldn’t help but pair up a pattern from @olgaputanodesigns Field Notes, by Laine Publishing, with our incredible recent arrival from Ireland. The Candyland sweater, per the designer, is an ode to the love of cable knitting. The yarnistas can’t help but pair this garment with the gorgeous heathered Romney lambswool and Blue Face Leicester of Ériu Elements Yarn, which is sourced from small family farms in Ireland before making its way to our hands here in Alexandria.

You all have been asking how to support Alex, and we are now seeking support for Alex and her mom through this challenging and difficult time. End-of-life care is costly, and we are hoping to help ease that burden during a difficult season of change.

The fibre alumni have set up this GoFundMe with Alex and her mother’s permission to help provide the best possible support for her right now. We understand not everyone is in a place to give financially. Still, if you are able to donate to this GoFundMe, it will have a direct, meaningful impact on helping Alex continue and improve her hospice care.

Please share this post and link to help us spread the #LoveforAlex!
