Astronomy Pullover Spring Sweater
We think that this bottom up, circular yoked pullover is a perfect layering option for star gazing. Against the tweedy flecked background of Cozy Cotton, the Astronomy Pullover’s delicate chains… Continue reading
News From The Mill – May 2026
We are on our way to our first fiber festival of the season! We’re bringing a truck full of glorious skeins and dozens of samples that we have been working on all winter long. We hope that you’ll find some great new ideas for what to knit next. We’d like to share two of our brand new patterns with you here.
Winterbrook – A New Pattern for Fall
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.
Putney Craft Tour 2025
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!
November Knitting at Green Mountain Spinnery
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.
Fall Fiber Festivals Coming Up Soon
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.
Cotton Yarn for Summer Into Fall
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.
Fun with Fiber at Upcoming Summer Events!
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!
The “Crab Dip” Sweater
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.
Summer Sweaters and More at the Spinnery
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.
Knitting Patterns for Spring 2025
Spring in Vermont is beautiful and a bit of a mixed bag. We can see both snow and temperatures in the 70s in a 48 hour period, so woolen layering… Continue reading
