Spinning and dying yarn can be a gloriously messy business. A sturdy pair of work boots is essential, and there is no reason not to dress them up. These top-down stranded leg warmers were inspired by Jill Draper’s fabulous retro fashion aesthetic and knit up with two yarns that feature New-England sourced fiber. We hope that they add a bit of warmth and gorgeous color to your autumn wardrobe.

The Nezinscot River flows through the property of the Neziscot Farm, in Turner Me. Where Gloria and Gregg run a farm, that also includes a Café and Coffee Shop, a bakery, a fromagerie, as well as a yarn and fiber studio. The seeded chevrons on the hat and mitts resemble the movements of the river and would be the perfect accessories to keep you warm, but your fingertips free to enjoy the baked goods, coffee and yarn available to enjoy during a visit to the farm.

Our Stansfield Vest harkens back to Vermont’s agricultural past when practical knitwear needed to transition from town to field and back. The rugged texture of this lightweight layering piece is created with a simple repetition of knits and purls, rendering a lofty fabric that is an instant classic.

A Sanderling is one of many small shore birds with a delicate gait that leaves mesmerizing patterns in wet sand. This classic crew neck cardigan features an easily worked lace pattern that is reminiscent of these tracks.

Raggedy Ann is an iconic character initially created in 1915 as a doll, and introduced to the public in the 1918 book: Raggedy Ann Stories. Her brother Raggedy Andy was popularized a couple of years later in a sequel; and their adventures have charmed children ever since. This cheerful pullover, worked from side to side, appeals to boys and girls alike. The play of color created by working with Spinnery Ragg-Time yarn creates bright multi-hued stripes that can include every color in the paintbox!

Our favorite scarves are voluminous to wrap up into and have no “wrong” side to complicate styling; and our preferred patterns look more complex than they are to make. This woolen scarf is made doubly warm by being two-sided (a trick easily accomplished not with double knitting, but by working in the round and blocking flat). And it features two-color stranded knitting made more sophisticated thanks to the variegation in the Ragg-Time yarn used as the main color. Finished with a crocheted fringe edge, this scarf doesn’t take itself as seriously as it will be able to keep you warm.

This cropped pullover modernizes the classic Aran sweater with some contemporary styling ideas. When worked in a lighter weight yarn for a more fluid fabric, and designed with a fun up to date length, this sweater is transformed from a Fishermens’ knit into a more relevant garment that may become your new classic.
