What’s Hot

Pepperberry Knits Bulky is here! This 100% cashmere bulky weight 80 yard skeins are hand plied in Boise, Idaho to create gorgeous multi-tonal colorways.
We are delighted to welcome Highland Handmades into the shop. Highland Handmades is owned by Heather Monroe Kinne, who dyes all of the yarns in the Highlands of Maine. Many of her colorways are inspired by the beauty of the Appalachian Mountains and the North Maine Woods, both of which surround Heather’s home. We have Sugar Sock available for $20.
Stonehedge Shepherd’s Wool Fine is fully restocked, just in time for colorwork hats and mittens!
Events
Stop by the shop to check out the Midwestern Knits Trunk Show. Midwestern Knits is a 13 pattern collection, curated and edited by knitwear designers Carina Spencer and Allyson Dykhuizen. Each pattern is inspired by our designers’ personal connections to the Heartland of America. Essays written by the designers accompany each design as a tribute to the inspiration.
