We are so excited to have Cascade Ultra Pima back in stock!  Made of 100% long staple cotton, Cascade’s Ultra Pima yarn has a luxurious sheen, soft hand, and incredible smoothness. It works great for knitting, crocheting, and weaving.  The light sheen of this yarn really highlights pattern-work changes.  With machine wash and tumble dry […]

It’s so fluffy!!! I can’t believe how soft and squishy this fiber is! This week, in my eight weeks of sheep breed spinning and dyeing, I worked with Targhee wool. Dyeing this breed’s fiber was a complete joy and I also got to try out some new dyes. After dyeing and drying the roving, it […]

I can’t even begin to tell you how many different types of knitting needles I have tried.  I have some beautiful exotic wood straight needles that I just love to look at but find I don’t use very often.  I think I was just too excited when I saw these beauties that I bought them when […]

I recently watched a video on Facebook about a woman in the UK who actually knits breasts! This woman knits about 300 knockers every month! She creates and donates the knockers for women who have suffered from breast cancer, had a mastectomy, but do not want implants. There are a variety of sizes and fiber contents to make […]

Looooove Merino wool! It’s no wonder why people gravitate to merino for roving and yarn! This week, in my eight weeks of sheep breed spinning and dyeing, I have dyed and spun our 64 count merino roving. This merino is so soft and easy to work with. It took the dye so beautifully and practically spins […]

Like most knitters and crocheters, I have never had a problem finding a yarn that I could love.  Just ask my wife about my stash!  This is not to say that my standards are not high when it comes to yarn.  I can’t lie, I am a yarn snob.  Is it my fault that luxury […]

If you are a spindle spinner then you know the struggle of trying to ply. It’s not terribly hard, it’s just not necessarily as smooth as plying on a wheel with bobbins and a lazy kate. Not to mention that you would need more than one spindle to ply which can get expensive if you are […]

I will be embarking on a new and exciting adventure spinning and dyeing my way through eight weeks of eight different sheep breeds. Join me on this exciting quest while I review how each fiber behaves when spun and dyed. This week I am reviewing Icelandic sheep wool in a natural brown and grey color. Click […]

Can I just say? I LOVE sock knitting! It’s my go to travel knitting, in between project knitting, and all around potato chip project. I have knit with many different sock yarn brands, but one I have tried recently is the Blue Ridge Yarns Footprints. I love how this yarn comes with complimentary colors for the […]

Sometimes when you are stuck on an obstacle with knitting or crocheting, it can be difficult to know where to find your solutions. If you don’t have a good friend to bribe with treats to help you out, or a helpful yarn store in town, sometimes you don’t know where to turn or who to trust with your […]

If you are anything like me, you have a TON of scrap yarn left overs from projects. I love sock knitting and have tiny little feet so I always have yarn left over from my sock projects. I also started spinning mostly fingering weight in small amounts and can’t figure out what to do with […]

I think it is safe to say that every fiber enthusiast has their go-to brand to work with and I am no different.  Knitting Fever Inc. is such an amazing and versatile distributor of some of my favorite brands of yarn. The reason is simple.  They make high-quality yarns and have something for everyone.  Let […]
