Back to school!

| Project Inspiration

School has started in Putney Vermont this week.  Backpacks were filled, pencils were sharpened, and apples polished.  And we at the Spinnery have been thinking about projects for little ones.  Perhaps a new sweater finished just in time for school photos?  We have a wall of restocked Mountain Mohair for you to choose from.

If this bright spectrum is not enough to spark your creative inspiration, perhaps a quick browse through the pages of the beautiful Green Mountain Spinnery Knitting Book?  For those of you who love to play with color, perhaps the Stained Glass Hat or Stained Glass Sweater (pictured below on the right) might be perfect for your kiddo.

The Puntas Sweater and Puntas Edged Cap are also fun knits with decorative edges that can be highlighted with contrasting colors for an extra twist.  The sweater pattern includes sizing from children’s size 2 to a 50 inch bust measurements for adults.

One of our most popular patterns is Rosemary’s Little Sweater.  A pint-sized version of the adult pullover, this pattern includes five sizes ranging from 2 to 10.  It is a wonderful sweater for a little one who has a single favorite color.

We have dozens of other project ideas that call for Mountain Mohair, and even more that call for a lighter weight yarn such as our Cotton Comfort.  We would love to help you find the perfect new sweater for your little one to help celebrate a fresh start this Fall.
