Alison Green has crafted a new pattern: Winterbrook with our Purple Rain Mewesic! This open-front cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top down, with special shaping around the shoulders for a perfect fit. The cabled collar is carried along the front openings for a crisp sophisticated look.
The Putney Craft Tour stands out among art excursions, and this year’s open studio tour is no different. You’re cordially invited to join the fun this Thanksgiving weekend! We’ll be hosting tours of our Production Floor giving you a great chance to see behind the scenes!
Thank you very much for a wonderful fall fiber festival season. We are filled with gratitude and warm wooly memories of meeting friends, squeezing skeins, and enjoying some really impressive show and tell. Our booths were visted by very accomplished crafters! It brings us such joy to see all that you’ve created with our yarns. It is just as much fun as helping you plan for future projects.
As hard as it is to believe, summer is on the wane. But for us knitters, that’s good news, right? The first of the fall fiber festivals is coming up in early September, and after that, it’s fast and furious. We hope you’ll join us at a festival near you. See the list below for festivals we plan to attend.
We’ve added two new colors to our Cozy Cotton line! Say hello to Kelp and Pacific (center top and right). We thought you may want to dip your toes into something cool this month and these two refreshing shades fit the bill. Our Cozy Cotton is our worsted weight version of our best selling DK weight Cotton Comfort.
Two great events are coming up in August 2025 — Summer Blues Indigo at Wing & a Prayer Farm and Shop Hop 2025. Hope to see you there!
Our Ravelry friend Laura, happened to be in our booth when the “crabby trio” above arrived for show and tell. She was so delighted by their tops that she decided to cast on for one of her own. Maryland is known for its blue crabs, after all. She found Whitney Terrell’s Crab Dip pattern on Ravelry and figured out her yardage requirements without delay! She purchased the Cotton Comfort she needed on the spot. Laura used Unbleached White as her main color, Denim for her crabs and Weathered Green for her fishes and waves.
High heat got you feeling a little crabby? You’re not alone, and why not have some fun with it by treating yourself to a new project! We hope that your summer plans include a getaway or two, perhaps even a yarny adventure that could have you headed our way! Details of this year’s I91 Shop Hop have been announced and there is even a new webpage with links to each of the 8 shops that will be participating.

Today we are reminiscing that 32 years ago, as we were washing our wool from our local shepherds with our used Maytag ringer washer, the Rural Development arm of the US Department of Agriculture was offering low interest loans to companies engaging in activities that support local farming.
