I promised more farm-to-finger yarns, and today we deliver in a big way. @eriu.ireland from Ireland is fully traceable back to a small number of small family-owned farms in Ireland (some have only a few sheep in their flock!) From ensuring the farmers are well paid for their fleece to sourcing the wool directly from the farms in person, each step of their process aims toward sustainability and provides the most incredible end product for you. Each skein of Ériu is soft, heathered and dyed in a palette of 16 shades, named for the four elements: Air (Gaoithe), Water (Uisce), Earth (Talamh), and Fire (Tine). Keep an eye on this space this week to meet some of the farmers behind this yarn and hear more about their color story. I can’t wait for you to see this in person!

We couldn`t wait to cast on with this beautiful alpaca blend yarn from @kinuayarns! Our team matched it up with the Growing Leaves Sweater by @rinaleyton_delonuestro for an incredibly soft and warm sweater. The Kinua special custom blend of Peruvian Merino Wool and Baby Alpaca Suri will produce a sweater that feels as beautiful as it looks, while being so incredibly warm.

Happy #ScholarlySunday! This week, I have chosen Echoes by Susan Crawford, which features designs inspired by iconic women, both real and fictional, who have inspired Susan Crawford`s life. I have long loved Susan’s designs for their vintage feel, as she finds inspiration from incredible knitwear designs of the past. Her Echoes book features a variety of styles and techniques with clear charts and instructions. The designs focus on texture and feature a lot of colorwork, lace, and cables. Grab your copy in space or in our capsule collection online!
