Will You Be My Cowl – 315

Designed by Maureen Clark

Conversation hearts aren’t the only way to woo your valentine. A hand knit cowl that is as cozy and comforting as a hug around the neck can be equally convincing. This stranded accessory is worked in the round and folded, then seamed together ensuring that there is no wrong side! We hope that this fun bright design warms your heart or that of someone you love.

Snow Roses – 313

Designed by Maureen Clark

When the snow lies deep in Vermont, our rose bushes lie dormant waiting for longer days and warmer temperatures to generate new growth. As crafters, we can accelerate that timeline by adding beautiful blossoms to our hand knits that will keep us comfortably warm until spring’s return. By alternating main and contrast colors, you’ll have sufficient yardage for two hats, giving you and your sweetheart heartwarming bouquets that look just freshly picked all winter long.

Diamond in the Ruff – 310

Designed by Margaret Atkinson

Nothing shows your love like a handknit, and who better to benefit from your stitches than your favorite companion. Your best friend can be as sharply dressed and comfortably warm as you are in this stylish cabled sweater. This new pattern is sized for small to medium sized pooches of all breeds, with carefully placed ribbing to snugly embrace the belly. With a deliciously deep optional turtleneck, this extra layer will keep your dog as polished as a gemstone.

IBH Socks – 308

Designed by Idabelle Hegemann

Top-Down Construction

This classic pattern was one of the Spinnery’s first, originally published in the 1980’s. It has been warming toes for decades. In celebration of our 40th anniversary, we’ve updated it to include expanded sizing that can work for the entire family, and we’ve made the instructions a bit more approachable for less experienced knitters. We are confident that these socks will be as hardwearing and hard working as our scrappy cooperative.

Traveler’s Joy – 307

Designed by Cap Sease

Traveler’s Joy is one of the common names for Clematis, a lovely climbing vine from the buttercup family that bursts with bold colorful blossoms. This textured cowl that is as pretty as a bloom, has a fabric that looks equally appealing on either side, so there is no wrong way to wrap up into its warmth. This little accessory can provide a smart traveler with the comforting touch of home, no matter where the road ahead leads.

Royal Tee – 305

Designed by Kate Salomon

This classically simple top can keep you as cool as a cucumber sandwich at high tea when worked up with Spinnery fingering weight wool which breathes in the summer heat. The raglan sleeve tee features a graphic design as bold as a coat of arms; but when worked with low contrast colors, it reads as delicately as Queen Anne’s lace.

Tudor Cardi – 301

Designed by Cap Sease

Bring a touch of royal drama to your wardrobe with our lightweight cardigan that is perfect for summer layering. The delicate diamond brocade texture of the slimming central panels and along the sleeve references the elaborate fabrics fashionable during England’s Golden Age. By adding buttons only at the top of the button band, you can affect a flattering A-line silhouette that brings a regal grace to any ensemble.
