Zen Shawl – 264
Designed by Maureen Clark
One musician’s false note can be the inspiration for another’s new melody. This shawl’s interplay of textured colors and stitches create a complex visual fabric that is easy to knit. This little shawlette allows you to go with the flow instead of fretting over the details of exacting lace. Dive into this pattern without worrying about tinking back stitches or missed yo’s; your shawl’s imperfections make it a unique work of art.

Whitinsville Hat – 250
Designed by Larisa Demos
Whitinsville, MA was founded in 1835 by Paul Whitin and his sons. Their mill became one of the largest textile machinery companies in the world and operated for over 135 years. Both our spinning frame and plying machine proudly display the Whitin stamp; and they wind our spun fibers around wooden bobbins in a twisting pattern that is reminiscent of the spiraling ribs of this beanie. Knitting this hat with our yarns made from New England sourced fibers can connect you directly to this rich history of fiber manufacturing that is still a part of life here in Vermont.

Rhubarb Cowl & Mitts – 260
Designed by Megan Barrett
Knit in the round, this cowl features alternating patterns of corrugated ribbing, bracketed by stretchy bands of single-color 2×1 ribbing to make pulling over your head easy. The durable, insulated corrugated fabric will keep your neck warm, and the sturdy nature of the cowl will allow you to cover your lower face when the weather requires! Just like stalks of summery, red rhubarb, the 2-color ribbing featured in this design create lovely columns with reddish orange and blueish green in the Jelly Roll colorway, and will help recall warmer days during chilly winter ones.

Berlin Poncho – 256
Designed by ND
Irving Berlin is credited with composing Ragtime music and lyrics that were uncomplicated, simple and direct, with his stated aim being to “reach the heart of the average American.” We think that this
delightfully straightforward poncho does the same. The pattern is created with an easily memorized 4 stitch, 2 row pattern that will have you singing along in no time.

Suspension Shawl – 255
Designed by Kate Salomon
Delicate suspension bridges elevate form and function into graceful works of art that become iconic landmarks. The twisted ribs of this shawl fashion vertical cables anchored by a symmetrical sweep of diagonal spokes for a perfectly balanced interplay of structure. This shawl’s unusual construction allows you to build a light weight and comfortingly pliable shawl to your preferred dimensions, resulting in a classic accessory that will always be in style.
