If you haven't tried Wooldreamers Saona, this is your sign to cast some on today! This #MustMakeMonday is the Ulalaca Vest by @kouvive. The stockinette stitch sections showcase the tonal variations of this yarn and the amazing texture works beautifully in cablework.

Today's #FOFriday is none other than one of our favorite local designers @olgajazzyknits Starflock! Knit in our kit with Spincycle Dreamstate & Gum Tree Farm Merino to celebrate our 15th anniversary alongside some of our favorite yarns! Gum Tree is a locally sourced merino from our friends down the road in Middleburg, VA. For this project we paired it with our exclusive Spincycle colorway - the Royal Mile.
