Why Natural Fiber Yarn?
We support socially and environmentally responsible companies, indie yarn dyers, and individuals, prioritizing fair wages, education opportunities, and traditional fiber heritage. Brands like Sandnes Garn, Manos del Uruguay, Amano Yarns, and Rosa Pomar uphold these values.
Making something with your hands takes time, and using tools that make each stitch comfortable, colorful, and enjoyable is just as important as the yarn you choose.
We offer top-quality tools for knitting or crocheting, ensuring every stitch is a delight. Discover favorites like Lykke, Cocoknits, Chiaogoo, and Katrinkles.

Seasonless - Patterns for Life
$29.00
Seasonless – Patterns for Life is an unusual pattern book that contains 5 fundamental knitwear pieces that are all customizable in terms of stitch pattern and shape. Using the same basic gauge in worsted weight yarn, you can make countless versions of the fingerless mitts, hat, vest, sweater, and cardigan designs by combining your favorite colors, any of the four stitch variations (stockinette, bold stripes, mosaic, and textured), and different shaping options. All of the patterns are genderless and size-inclusive, so your projects will make great holiday gifts for everyone in the family.
Seasonless also includes a section on yarn selection and styling ideas. We invited four people from different locations and climates to share how they would customize and style designs from the collection.
