Have you tried Make it Tweed? ✨⁠
⁠
A little bit of texture, a little bit of colour, and suddenly your project has that perfect tweedy feel.⁠
⁠
Held alongside your favourite yarn, these textured threads add tiny pops of colour and depth without making things complicated. They’re so much fun to use, especially if you love getting creative with scrap yarn and experimenting with different combinations 💙⁠
⁠
Such an easy way to bring flat shades to life.⁠

Things I wish I’d known before I started knitting: a tiny slipknot can make a huge difference when you’re doing mattress stitch.⁠
⁠
Did you already know this one, or is this your sign to give it a go on your next project?⁠

A few moments from our Sellwood Tee photoshoot 💙⁠
⁠
Jenny and Jacqui had great fun with this one and we couldn’t leave the goofy photos out of the mix!⁠
⁠
The Sellwood Tee works so beautifully in Line by Sandnes Garn. The cotton, viscose and linen blend gives the fabric a light, breathable feel with lovely drape, perfect for easy summer garments.⁠
⁠
We’ve put together kits for this project too, if you’re tempted to cast one on yourself.⁠

Fiorellino by Isabell Kraemer is a fantastic top-down knit — starting with gentle neck shaping, then flowing into a textured yoke with increases that keep things interesting all the way through. Clean, seamless, and no finishing… always a win.⁠
⁠
We paired it with Clarendon Sock in Pink Pony Club for Jenny’s sample, and it really lets that texture shine. She’s also pulled out a few more options: ⁠
Flare, Sakura and Anxiety.⁠
⁠
Which one is calling you?⁠

Take a moment to admire The Salix Shawl by ⁠
⁠
Inspired by willow branches and leaves, this crescent shawl mixes garter stitch, slipped stitch details and a beautifully spiky edging that keeps things interesting without feeling overly complicated.⁠
⁠
Joy’s sample is knit in Fade St 4ply in Bonfire + Single Malt.⁠
⁠
All you need is one skein of each shade to cast on ✨⁠
