Is there anything better than hand-knit socks? No matter how plain or ornate, the feeling of slipping them on makes every morning a bit brighter and every evening a bit cosier. We may not quite be on sweater weather yet, but a warm sock is the perfect way to get in the mood for all the beauty of autumn.
Have you started to notice the first hints of knitting season yet? Those very subtle changes that herald the arrival of autumn, even though summer isn’t quite over?
As crafters, we know even our very favourite projects must one day come to an end. And so it is that after five glorious years, Faire Magazine has released its last print issue.
It’s nearly time for the new issue of Laine! We always anticipate these releases with bated breath, and we’re especially excited for this issue as we’re seriously in the mood to plan our autumn knits.
Everyone has a pattern they just can’t stop making. Whether you need one in every colour for your own wardrobe or you need everyone you know to have one of their own, some pieces are worth making over and over.
What’s the wildest thing you’ve ever stitched with? Maybe you’ve explored different fibres, played with old and new materials, or picked some wacky colours, but we’ll be you’ve never pushed the limits as far as Katerina Knight!
Twenty-one years of Loop! It’s hard to believe how much time has gone by since that very first July we opened our little yarn shop — and how much has changed in that time!
We are utterly delighted to welcome Laine’s 10th anniversary issue and congratulate them on this incredible milestone. We know all about the big and little things it takes to make it this far, and we are totally in awe of the incredible women who have made this powerhouse publisher what it is today!
One of our favourite things about life in this sweet little shop is that it’s impossible not to be inspired. Everywhere you look there’s something to spark a whole new project. This week our imaginations are running wild with arrivals from Teinture Sauvage, Aitor Saraiba, Monahan Papers, and more!
Indigo has been woven into the culture of Japan for centuries, colouring the garments of Imperial Court members and common people for centuries. The rich tradition of indigo dyeing lives on in Japan, and the collective behind Buaisou are the best of the best.
