Our Simply Beautiful True Knit Shawl

Our free True Knit Shawl pattern celebrates the extraordinary beauty of Nigh Aran, a 100% cashmere yarn so soft and radiant it needs nothing more than quiet restraint to shine. Every element of this design tells a simple truth: when a yarn is this special, less truly is more. Sumptuously soft and wonderfully warm, Nigh Aran is the cashmere yarn every knitter dreams of!

1,000 Grams Of 100% Merino Wool

Soft, sturdy, and wonderfully sproing-y, Knitting Yarn DK On A Cone is a quintessential classic on a 1,000-gram cone! Its cushiony 4-ply spin gives you crisp stitch definition and marvelously articulated textures, while 100% New Zealand merino wool makes this light worsted/DK-weight yarn a classic. Select from a huge palette of beautifully heathered colors and cast on!

Beautiful Montana Wool Yarn From Earthstar Farm!

Every stitch with Big Mountain Cormo Worsted connects you to Earthstar Farm's beloved flock of Cormo sheep, who thrive in the high mountain air of the Montana Rockies. Once sheared, the wool is combed and spun into yarn by a family-run mill in Wyoming, and the whole process happens just once a year! Explore five undyed shades that celebrate the natural beauty and variation of this happy flock!

A Truly Beautiful Wool Hat

Our free Wool Standard Hat pattern is a nod to all things tried-and-true, knit in our gorgeous new Big Mountain Cormo Worsted yarn from our wonderful friends at Earthstar Farm in Montana and their beloved flock of Cormo sheep! This hat pattern is totally no-frills, yet every detail is carefully considered, leaving your attention free to focus on the absolutely beautiful wool on your needles.

Knit Simple Elegance

The free Poetic Poncho knitting pattern in Vinter Wool, our hand-dyed yarn from the shores of Norway, is spare in its verbiage but eloquent in its simplicity! This easy-to-knit stockinette stitch rectangle puts the beautiful color variation and luster of this Norwegian wool yarn on display, while one short seam creates a dynamic shape that you can wear three different ways!

A Trusty Companion For Happy Knitting

Soft, sturdy, and wonderfully sproingy 100% merino wool yarn, Knitting Yarn DK knits up into a smooth fabric with lovely stitch definition, pleasant toothiness, and a cushiony feel. It comes in generous, ready-to-knit balls and 35+ beautifully heathered colors that pull their inspiration from the natural world... A favorite yarn for knitting just about everything!

Astonishingly Soft Pure Cashmere

Our Nigh DK yarn is spun from the finest 100% cashmere, sourced from the downy undercoat of Mongolian goats, and it’s every bit as amazing as you imagine! A 4-ply DK-weight yarn, it’s finished with extra rounds of washing at the mill so that every stitch feels unbelievably soft as you knit and looks totally beautiful when you’re done, with a delicate halo that glows from the fabric’s surface.

4 Gemstone-Inspired Bundles

Our free Vintage Chevron Blanket pattern in our classic Till tells a timeless story of rich color and beauty to hand down through generations. Simple stitches, a bountiful yarn, and stunning colors make this easy blanket a delight to knit or crochet. Choose from our four gemstone-inspired Vintage Chevron Blanket Bundles!

Sumptuously Soft Partridge Superwash

Plump as a partridge, soft as its downy under-feathers, and cozy as a covey, Partridge Superwash is a supple single-ply yarn made with 100% superwash wool... Hello, washing machine! It knits up at a plush chunky weight, with a tidy spin that makes for beautiful stitch definition and deeply satisfying knitting. Explore our palette of 26 beautiful colors and cast on!

Our Super Popular Box Hat!

With its bright color-blocks and unusual crown shaping, our free Box Hat pattern is actually a little bit outside the box… Perfect for knitters who love smart design and fun color play! It’s the ideal way to play with Partridge Superwash, a chunky machine-washable wool yarn that's incredibly soft and satisfying to knit. Pick up two cheerful colors, one skein each, and cast on!
