Stella – 266

Designed by Maureen Clark

Maureen’s great grand mother Stella was born around the turn of last century on Prince Edward Island. She’s notorious in family legend for drinking rye and playing the horses. This yoked pullover was designed with her in mind. Perhaps by trying a yoked construction or stranded knitting for the first time; or by casting on with an adventurous color scheme you’ll celebrate the creative renegade that lies in each of us.

Cirone – 245

Designed by Larisa Demos

Jenny Cirone was a remarkable woman. As a girl in 1916, when she moved to the coast of Downeast Maine with her family, she started tending a small flock of sheep that she shepherded for over 80 years. Jenny’s flock still thrives on the uninhabited islands where her Father was a lighthouse keeper. This delicate crescent shawlette features a botanical lace border reminiscent of the wild grasses and seaweed that feeds her flock.

Polar Teddy – 243

Designed by Cap Sease

We are proud to spin Catskill Saxon Merino yarn from the fiber of Eugene Wyatt’s flock. We thought that the best way to celebrate this uniquely smooshy yarn was to transform it into something you’d want to cuddle. So, Cap has created our Polar Teddy for you to knit up and enjoy! This handsome fellow can be stuffed full of GMS carded fleece for and is ready to be dressed up! Cap’s pattern includes instructions for a tiny crochet scarf, so that your teddy can be beautifully accessorized with just a few yards of stash yarn!

Swedish Mittens – 248

Designed by Maureen Clark

These cozy mittens are created with yarn derived from the rich grazing area of Madison County, NY, along with the traditional Swedish color work sourced from the shores of the Baltic Sea. Whether you need protection from the damp cold of the seaside or a chilly farm morning, you’ll love the warmth supplied by double strands of wool. The classic stranded color work is made even more beautiful by the two woolen spun yarns that bloom to perfection in finishing.
