Terry’s Sweater – 285
Designed by Elinor Redmond
This sweater is based on a 60+ year old sweater from Norway. Created for the designer’s brother, this pullover was an instant favorite! It is knit from the bottom up in the round, joining the sleeves at the underarms. The decreases in the yoke occur between the rows of pattern. The bottom hem is flat, folded double with a purl row at the fold.

Dominique Tuck socks – 272
Designed by Maureen Clark
Top-Down Construction
These socks are named for the current steward of the Catskill Merino Sheep farm. These top-down socks can be worked with your choice of length, and can even be worn inside out! Maureen has crafted a modified tuck stitch texture that looks as attractive on the wrong side as it does on the right side.

Jill’s Boots – 275
Designed by Kate Salomon
Spinning and dying yarn can be a gloriously messy business. A sturdy pair of work boots is essential, and there is no reason not to dress them up. These top-down stranded leg warmers were inspired by Jill Draper’s fabulous retro fashion aesthetic and knit up with two yarns that feature New-England sourced fiber. We hope that they add a bit of warmth and gorgeous color to your autumn wardrobe.

Nezinscot River Hat & Mitts – 278
Designed by Larisa Demos
The Nezinscot River flows through the property of the Neziscot Farm, in Turner Me. Where Gloria and Gregg run a farm, that also includes a Café and Coffee Shop, a bakery, a fromagerie, as well as a yarn and fiber studio. The seeded chevrons on the hat and mitts resemble the movements of the river, and would be the perfect accessories to keep you warm, but your fingertips free to enjoy the baked goods, coffee and yarn available to enjoy during a visit to the farm.
