For #ScholarlySunday this week, we thought this title might be of interest. For those of us who resolve to use up our stashes and scrap yarn piles, this book is a great resource for patterns! 52 Weeks of Scrap Yarn is full of innovative and beautiful ways to use even the tiniest scraps of yarn.

Season transitioning yarns are key when living in a place with variable weather like we have here in the DMV. Our climate is ideal for yarns like those from our friends at Woolfolk that blend Ovis 21 Merino with Linen or Cotton to create yarns that can be used year-round. Woolfolk Brise is a chainette yarn that blends Ovis 21 Merino and Pima Cotton for a light and airy DK weight yarn. Woolfolk Stra is a 50/50 blend of Ovis 21 Merino and Linen, also in a DK weight chainette yarn but the Linen adds a more rustic look to your fabric. Woolfolk Luft is a bulky blend of Ovis 21 Merino and Organic Pima Cotton that creates a light fabric despite its large gauge. Check out what we`re stitching with these yarns as the seasons change here in the DMV. Woolfolk is available in our ALX store only.
