We are super excited to host Miss Babs and her yarns for an amazing Pop Up event outside in our tents from Sept 24-26. Today we are featuring another of the yarns that you can shop during this event, as well as the newest pattern samples that will be on display at the event.

K2

K2 is a bouncy chunky yarn that will work beautifully for large-scale accessories. It knits up fast and warm, soft but still substantial, with a brilliant depth of color. K2 is not superwash and will felt. The 3-ply construction is very round and gives balanced sharp stitch definition.

Size: 240 yd / 8 oz (219m / 225g) skeins
Content: 100% Merino Wool
Gauge: Chunky weight. 3-3.5 stitches per inch on US 10-11.
Care Instructions: Hand wash, dry flat.

The Patterns:

Heartlines Cowl by Andrea Lai

The Heartlines Cowl is a flexible pattern that works up quickly in bulky weight. Forgiving on gauge, it features an easy-to-memorize purl texture and lace. Light and squishy, the cowl can be worn loosely draped for warmer days in the spring or fall or doubled up for added warmth in the cooler months. Because it works up quickly, Heartlines makes a great knitted gift for loved ones—something a recipient can wear in nearly all seasons!
