This week we’re focusing on a new shop favorite: Biscotte Griffon. It’s a lovely aran weight yarn that self stripes! The yarn does the hard work for you, creating a colorful display of stripes perfect for gifts. And – even better – this soft merino wool is superwash, making it kid-friendly as well.

In fact, we love this yarn so much that you may have seen it around the shop featured in one of our new favorite hats, Pom Pom It! by Stephen West. Danielle whipped up this marvelous creation over a mere two lunch breaks, making it the perfect project for a quick gift knit. In fact, this colorful hat is such a fun knit you might want to snag a second skein and make one for yourself!

Materials:

  • Biscotte & Cie Griffon, 180 yds/165m; 1 Skien. $27 each
  • US 9 (5.5 mm) needles – 16 Inch Circular and Double Pointed
  • Pom Pom Maker and / or Loome (available at the shop)
