When our dear friend Mark decided he was ready to cast on for his first sweater, we offered to draft a pattern made to order. He had already committed this classic cable pattern to memory (thanks to the handful of scarves he had been making as gifts). And so, the inspiration for this classic rugged pullover started to take shape. Whether or not this sweater is your first, we hope it will soon become a favorite.

For those who enjoy having multiple projects on the needles, this top-down raglan pullover may be a perfect slow-burn affair to be enjoyed gradually. The Slipped stitch garter fabric is a dream on the needles and due to its fine gauge, it may remain in progress for some time before this beauty is complete. Like its cardigan counterpart, this sweater may nudge you towards a pure love of knitting process.

Our small Mill Shop concentrates our myriads of colors in such close proximity that it can dazzle first-time visitors. The re-tweed fabric can allow you to play with color in a similar way, use your selection to reflect a landscape, express a mood, or pull an outfit together. Personalize the vest with the size you select for a close fit that could be layered under a tailored jacket, or an oversized slip over that can be casually thrown over anything.

Many of us share a fond nostalgia for the quintessential colors of the 70’s kitchen. Do they suggest the kitchen of your childhood or the one that we tuned in to on the Brady Bunch where Alice and Carol could make us feel right at home? This retro pillow cover invokes the avocado appliances macrame wall hangings, and bell bottom jeans that bring many of us back to our youth. Select a color scheme that speaks to your ideas of comfort and style among the myriad choices of the Spinnery’s worsted weight yarns.
