clubs!

New memberships are available in the shop. We have our famous Sock club and also Twist and Spinning clubs, equally as awesome :)

If you'd like to see examples of what we do for the clubs, check out this thread on Ravelry (Warning, spoilers!)

I will just leave you with pretty pictures of our previous club colourways now...

Hot water bottle cozy

  This has been my saviour for the past few days. When the sun goes down and there's no more heating in the house (...it's spring for f***'s sake...), it gets pretty cold. Nothing beats coming out of the shower into a toasty bed. Nothing, I say!
Super easy and only few hours to knit up. I used Noro Taiyo scraps and some HF Merino Aran in Ghost. I casted on like for a toe up sock, 68 stitches on 4mm needles and knitted up a straight tube. Decreased a little on the top and then knitted a few rounds of ribbing. Yes, you can remove the cover, the ribbing really pulls in and it's really stretchy. So happy with my new snuggly hot water bottle!

Shandon

Shandon cowl, our newest pattern, designed by me and kindly knitted by Laura
It's thick, snuggly and cushy. The textured pattern is reversible and looks equally good from both sides. It took exactly 2 skeins of our Merino Aran (Concrete colorway is now in stock).
Only charted instructions, but it's simple, really, just knit and purl. A tube with no shaping.

Available for free through our new fancy pattern page or through Ravelry.
Enjoy!

more socks

one more pair!
using this yarn (HF Twist sock, in a deliberately pooling colourway, which ended up not pooling much) 
...okay, I admit it, I did cast on for yet another pair...
