We have many lovely skeins that just need a happy stash to nestle down in. Come check it out for some great deals. And check in often as we add new things.
]]>Over the years we have been asked whether we would do an advent calendar. Some space and time has opened up because of the pandemic we have decided this is the perfect time to try out some new things. So mark your calendar as we will list the pre-order Advent Calendar on July 13th.
We are pretty excited about planning this fun product and hopefully it will become a yearly tradition.
There will be a few different options to choose from. You will be able to choose between 12 or 24 - 20g mini skeins dyed in a unique Riverside Studio gradient. For both options you can choose to add on one 100 gram skein. There will be semi-solids, glazed, multicoloured and speckled yarns in our all time favourite base Supersock.
Julie is going to get busy and design a beautiful accessory pattern that will make good use of all those mini skeins. I will design and handprint a set of wooly themed gift tags you can use when you are gifting your fibre friends. We will also add a special surprise.
Everything will wrapped and numbered and we will close the orders at the end of September. International orders, including the USA will be shipped by mid-October and domestic orders will ship at the beginning of November.

I love the combination of kidsilk base and a variegated silk yarn smock stitch. The possible combinations are endless. As soon as we heard from Stephanie that this pattern would be published and it used our silk fingering we got to work dyeing up beautiful combinations. Check them out in the Shop under Limited Editions. There are very limited quantities of each colour. It is one of the few bases we do not dye to order. So if you see something you like grab it because it may not be reproducible.
Soon we will fill the shop with some beautiful Kidsilk so look check back often for an announcement on that. We'll also post about it on our Instagram page.
You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry We like it so much that we put together a few different colour combinations that we think would look fabulous. Check out our Yarn Set page to see all the pretty colours.
Happy Knitting! Kathryn

Another shawl pattern I have in my Ravelry queue is Down by the River by Virginia Sattler Reimer. All that is needed is one skein of a nice variegated fingering weight yarn like Cobalt and Rust with one of Fen in Kidsilk.
One pattern I will definitely be knitting this year is Elton by Joji Locatelli. Imagine that in a soft grey like Ghost with the Kidsilk in Prism.
Happy Knitting, Kathryn
