Craving extra coziness this season? Look no further than new Cozy from Kelbourne Woolens! This super-soft, machine washable blend of Merino wool and baby alpaca is designed so you can spend your time enjoying your projects, not worrying about how to take care of them.
Long-time knitters, besties, and Kelbourne Woolens founders Courtney Kelley and Kate Gagnon Osbourn say, “When we began brainstorming what yarn we wanted to knit and crochet with in 2025, the same words kept resurfacing: soft, comforting, and low-maintenance. We referred to Cozy as “cashmere sweatpants” throughout the design process: casual and comfortable, yet indulgent in a way that makes you feel amazing with minimal effort. Think of it like the yarn equivalent of your favorite luxury lip gloss–a simple, feel-good treat that’s effortlessly chic.”
Cozy’s drapey multi-ply spin, gorgeous saturated colors, and next-to-skin softness are perfect for plush sweaters, warm accessories, and snuggly baby clothes. The yarn’s affordability and easy care make it our new favorite for gift knits – and did we mention the amazing softness?
